WWE Survivor Series: Traditional Elimination Preshow Match Winner and Reaction

Survivor Series has always been built around the traditional five-on-five elimination matches on the actual card, not during the pre-show.

This is 2015, and this is the WWE. And Goldust's return was the only noteworthy thing of this match.

The team of Goldust, Neville, Titus O'Neil and the Dudley Boyz knocked off the team of Stardust, the Ascension, Bo Dallas and The Miz in a near clean sweep. Neville was the only one eliminated from the winning team, and the match ended on a 3D to Stardust for the three count.    

But it was the return of the bizarre Goldust that stole the headlines for this match. WWE provided a clip of Goldust's entrance:    

Renee Young shared her thoughts on the return of Stardust's older brother:

"

His former tag team partner, Booker T., also shared his thoughts on Goldust making his in-ring return:

Overall, this was a lackluster matchup that brought nothing to the show. For the last two pre-shows, though, there have been two things to keep an eye on: Cesaro appearing to get a push and a possible Stardust-Goldust showdown that has yet to happen.

That may be the only thing to come out of this, but the result didn't provide any reason to believe that's happening. This may set up a mini-feud between the Rhodes Brothers, and that would be the only reason to get excited for how Survivor Series kicked off on Sunday night.
