Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match confirmed

Billed as "Team Orton vs. Team Barrett" (Lara Emily will be happy), two teams of five will clash in an Elimination-style tag team match. The official Survivor Series website calls back to the WWE Championship match between Orton and Barrett at the 2010 Survivor Series. Orton leads powerhouse Mason Ryan; the high-flying sensation, Sin Cara; current WWE Tag Team Champion, the unorthodox Kofi Kingston; and fellow top-tier SmackDown! Superstar and former two-time WWE Champion, Sheamus against Barrett's team consisting of the cagey veteran, Christian; the reigning Intercontinental Champion, Cody Rhodes; the focused and driven Hunico; and former World Heavyweight Champion, Jack Swagger.

Sounds like an exciting match to me. What's also telling about it, is that Dolph Ziggler and Zack Ryder aren't involved. This could suggest that a United States Championship match between the two is in the works (which would make sense given Ryder's continued non-title success against Ziggler). At house shows over Europe, John Morrison has been working in Triple Threat Matches against Ziggler and Ryder; so it's possible that we could see that match at Survivor Series, too.
