Who would be on your ultimate Survivor Series team?
WWE's Fall Classic is famed for its traditional five-on-five elimination matches, with this year's event pitting Raw's Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, Chris Jericho and Braun Strowman against Smackdown's AJ Styles, Dean Ambrose, Randy Orton, Bray Wyatt and Shane McMahon.
But which WWE Superstars, past or present, would make your side? Check out our picks and then tell us your dream team in the comments section below (skysports.com only) or on Twitter @SkySportsWWE.
The Undertaker
The Phenom made his WWE debut at Survivor Series and following his victory at the event last year, when he teamed up with Kane to beat Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper, The Undertaker has now won 13 of his 18 matches at WWE's annual pay-per-view, including all four of the traditional elimination bouts he wrestled in.
In fact, the Phenom has only been pinned once, by Kurt Angle, in tag matches at the event, with count-outs causing his other two dismissals. His best performance? Eliminating three men, including Triple H and Jerry Lawler, in 1995 as The Darkside obliterated The Royals.
The Ultimate Warrior
When it came to eliminating The Ultimate Warrior in Survivor Series matches, it just could not be done - the legend surviving all four of his bouts.
Warrior was a sole survivor in 1988 and 1989 - his double axe handle and Gorilla Press Splash too hot for his rivals to handle - before another stellar performance in 1990.
Warrior was a sole survivor in the night's opener, before he and Hulk Hogan were left standing in the main event, having conquered Ted DiBiase, Rick Martel, The Warlord, Hercules and Paul Roma in a three-on-five handicap match - Tito Santana their fallen partner.
Rey Mysterio
The Undertaker would bring size to the team and Warrior the vibrancy, but a good little man never goes amiss, with Mysterio a prime candidate for the role.
The Master of the 619 belied his diminutive stature to record eight eliminations at Survivor Series, dispatching, amongs others, the gargantuan Big Show (2005), Kane and The Miz (2008) and Seth Rollins (2013).
Mysterio made it to the end of an elimination match unscathed three times - in 2008, 2010 and 2012 - and regularly did the grunt work for his team. For his speed and stamina, the masked marvel is in.
Roman Reigns
Raw will be hoping Reigns can channel his 2013 Survivor Series performance when the red brand battles Smackdown in Toronto on Sunday night.
The Big Dog dispatched four of his opponents three years ago to emerge as a sole survivor, with his cousin Jimmy Uso as well as Cody Rhodes, Goldust and, finally, Mysterio the men to fall - all after being blasted by spears.
Seth Rollins was the only other member of Reigns' team, which also included Dean Ambrose, Cesaro and Jack Swagger to record an elimination, The Architect banishing Jey Uso after administering a Curb Stomp.
Randy Orton
Orton was a sole survivor on his first Survivor Series appearance in 2003 and went on to match that feat in 2004 and 2005, eliminating Rob Van Dam, Edge, Triple H and Shawn Michaels (twice) along the way.
The Viper has since taken his number of Survivor Series eliminations to a record 13, with three his highest tally in one match - the 12-time world champion accounting for Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger and Hunico in 2011.
Having also retained the world title three times at Survivor Series, including against Michaels in 2007 and Wade Barrett in 2010, the St Louis native is a must.
Now over to you - who would make YOUR ultimate Survivor Series team?
