Abstract	The statistical combination of searches for heavy resonances decaying to a pair of bosons or leptons is presented. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of $35.9~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ collected in 2016 by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of $13~\mathrm{TeV}$. The data are found to be consistent with background expectations. The exclusion limits set in the context of a spin-1 heavy vector triplet framework and spin-2 Bulk Graviton models are the most stringent to date presented by CMS. In a scenario with mass-degenerate W' and Z' resonances, heavy vector bosons with mass below $4.5~\mathrm{TeV}$ are excluded at a $95\%$ confidence level if the dominant couplings are to the standard model gauge bosons, and $5.0~\mathrm{TeV}$ if the resonances couple predominantly to fermions.
