It took place on November 3, 2016 at the Arlington Convention Center in Arlington, Texas.[1] and November 4 at the San Antonio Shrine Auditorium in San Antonio, Texas.[2]
Background
Survival of The Fittest (2016) featured professional wrestling matches that involve wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds or storylines that play out on ROH's television program, Ring of Honor Wrestling. Wrestlers will portray heroes (faces) or villains (heels) as they follow a series of events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.[3]
Survival of the Fittest is an annual tournament held by ROH. For the 2016 event, the winners from designated tournament matches in Arlington, Texas advanced to a 6-Man Elimination Match the following night in San Antonio, Texas, and the winner of that match will be declared Survivor of the Fittest, and receive a future ROH World Championship match.
