This year’s Survivor Series Men’s match featured Smackdown and Raw compiling five of their brand’s top stars.
Raw brought Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, Kevin Owens, Austin Theory, and Bobby Lashley. Smackdown matched them by bringing Drew McIntyre, Jeff Hardy, Xavier Woods, Happy Corbin, and Sheamus.
At the start of the match, Kevin Owens argued with Rollins about who would start the match. Owens then left the ring and walked out for the count out without so much as throwing a punch.

Late in the match, Austin managed to eliminate Sheamus. Sheamus then delivered a clothesline to Hardy out of frustration before leaving. Managing to eliminate Theory, Hardy and Rollins faced off. Hardy countered a stomp and hit the Twist of Fate but Rollins got his knees up on the swanton follow-up, allowing him to hit a stomp and win the match.
