WWE Survivor Series paid tribute to 25 years of Undertaker with a show where WWE title was out in a open championship. Roman Reigns ended his long wait to claim the WWE world heavyweight championship at Survivor Series — but it was gone in a moment. Much like Daniel Bryan few year ago, Reigns championship reign ended before it even started- thanks to the authority i.e. Triple H.
Roman Reigns vs Dean Ambrose
Reigns defeated Dean Ambrose in the final of the 16-man tournament for WWE heavyweight title. The duo trades blows for blows until Roman speared Dean and got the pin. But there was a shock twist to proceedings when Sheamus — who held the coveted “Money in the Bank” briefcase courtesy of his win in June — decided it was time to cash in. After defeating Ambrose, Reigns was distracted by Triple H who came to the ring to congratulate him. Reigns refused to shake the WWE boss’s hand — and then delivered a spear. Sheamus took advantage of the distraction by rushing into the ring and delivering a Brogue Kick to Reigns’s head — and then quickly pinning to take the title.

Brothers of Destruction Vs The Wyatt Family
It’s been 25 years since The Undertaker began his career at Survivor Series in 1990 and he added another pay-per-view victory to his resume in a match against The Wyatt Family. After typically awesome entrances, the early stages of this match saw The Undertaker chiefly matched up against Harper and Kane taking on Wyatt. The Wyatt family enjoyed some success but a double chokeslam turned the contest and ‘Taker finished the match with a trademark Tombstone Piledriver of Harper.

WWE Title semifinal: Dean Ambrose Vs Kevin Owens
Owens looked the favorite in the beginning but Ambrose took control of the match by diving out of the ring to take out an unsuspecting Owens before later pinning him with Dirty Deeds.
WWE Title semifinal: Roman Reigns Vs Alberto Del Rio
Roman Reigns booked his place in the final by outlasting Del Rio in a physical match-up. Del Rio thought he had the match won when he avoided a Superman Punch and landed a Backstabber but Reigns kicked out of a long two-count. Reigns responded with a Samoan Drop and the back-and-forth continued as Del Rio landed a head kick. But after escaping an armbreaker, Reigns nailed Del Rio with a spear and got the pin.
Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match #1
