Survivor Series 96
HBK, Sting, Undertaker, and Yokozuna vs Vader, Sid, Cactus Jack, and Terry Funk
The match is glorious, first eliminated is Taker and Cactus who are counted out after breaking a table, then Yokozuna falls to Vader who is then forced to submit by Sting who is beaten by Cactus Jack after being triple teamed when Shawn Michaels is too bloody and beaten to save him. The referee is forced to stop the match due to the large amount of blood loss from Shawn Michaels. The heels take it in MSG.
Yoko's last match in WWF is at Survivor Series.
The next night Bret Hart puts himself into contendership when he challenges HBK and criticizes HBK as a wrestle who won't defend his title if he doesn't have too. Sid however has a problem with Bret as he see's himself as the number one contender due to beating Bret last night. This leads to a one on one at the Dec. IYH ppv where it ends in draw...
HBK is slated to team with Sting vs Cactus and Funk in the main event street fight but is injured backstage on Raw. Years later we find out Shawn thought he was a much much bigger star than Sting and didn't want to team with him and get him over.
The Undertaker replaces HBK and is victorious at the PPV.

Steve Austin eliminates Sting after being eliminated himself but not being seen. Later on Raw the decision is reversed and now Steve Austin must wrestle Bret Hart at the Feb. IYH PPV for contendership and a match at Wrestlemania with HBK.
At the Feb. IYH Sting resolves his issues with his WCW enemies by forcing Sid to submit to the deathlock.
