ATLANTA — Ryback sealed the win for his team with a Shell Shocked on Sheamus, making him, Jey Uso and Kalisto the survivors in a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match against The New Day, King Barrett & Sheamus.
Jimmy Uso kicked off the action by knocking Xavier Woods to the mat and picking him up by his Elvis Presley–style hairdo, setting the tone for this 10-man elimination battle.
Sin Cara and Jey Uso showed great teamwork by throwing all of their opponents to the ringside floor. The Usos and Lucha Dragons then dove over the top rope simultaneously to knock down their opposing side. Once the nine competitors stumbled back to their feet, the 290-pound Ryback leaped from the top rope, flooring his opponents — and teammates — like a set of bowling pins.

King Barrett flipped control of the match again by trapping Jey into his team’s corner, allowing all five members of Barrett’s team to tag in and stomp Jey into the mat. The teams traded eliminations — Sin Cara connected with a senton on Barrett and Woods capitalized on a double-team to eliminate Jimmy Uso.
A bold move by Big E ended up spelling disaster for his team, though, as he speared Kalisto from the ring, through the ropes and to the floor. Although Sheamus followed up by eliminating Sin Cara, Big E couldn’t survive much longer after getting hit with a splash from Jey.

Woods and Kingston then accompanied Big E to the back, claiming he needed assistance and were both counted out and eliminated. Facing 3-to-1 odds, Sheamus tried to battle back, but couldn’t outlast his opponents, as fluid tags from Kalisto to Jey to Ryback allowed The Big Guy to finish Sheamus with Shell Shocked.
With Ryback, Kalisto and Jimmy Uso standing tall, the winning side sent a clear message to The New Day that their challengers were only getting stronger.
