5 biggest surprises from 2016 WWE Survivor Series

2. Bray Wyatt actually got a big win

This has been a long time coming and now it’s up to WWE to actually do something with it, but it’s official: Bray Wyatt actually got a big win.

How many times have we seen it? Bray Wyatt gets into a high-profile feud only to lose it in the long run. It happened with John Cena. It happened with Roman Reigns. Okay, he did get the best of Dean Ambrose a couple of years ago but that was really only to make him look strong so he could be fed to The Undertaker, whom we knew wasn’t going to lose two WrestleMania matches in a row. Bray Wyatt is one of the most over wrestlers on the WWE roster and the big payoff has really never come. And let’s get real — fans of Wyatt had that same feeling when the newest member of the Wyatt Family, Randy Orton. Bray and Orton were the two remaining members of Team Smackdown Live and they were facing off with once-again best buddies Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, who had just given the audience everything they wanted with the aforementioned mini-reunion of The Shield.

Once again, we had the Wyatt Family facing off with The Shield. You even saw Bray saying that it was just like old times as the final four got going, and when Luke Harper joined the fray, it really did feel like Rollins and Reigns would buck the odds and pick up the victory, despite Reigns getting louder boos than John Cena ever has.

On that quick note, did anybody else think that Reigns was going to turn on Rollins and join the Wyatt Family for a split second while they were in the center of the ring? Maybe that’s just me but I digress.

Seriously, though, it just seemed like another buildup for the Wyatts leading to yet another letdown. But this time was different and I really liked what they did here. First of all, that RKO on Rollins, although not quite as good that Orton put on him at WrestleMania 31, was amazing. Yet it was Bray who got the 1-2-3. And while it was Orton sacrificing himself for Bray, it was Bray who got the final pin on Reigns (anybody but you, Roman) following a Sister Abigail, securing the victory for Smackdown Live.

As soon as he picked up the victory, I thought about how commissioner Shane McMahon would be so happy that Bray Wyatt got the victory for his show that Bray could possibly be chosen as the one to get Shane’s revenge on Brock Lesnar and get the rub of being the guy that took down Brock Lesnar.

Then the biggest surprise of the night happened …
