Counting down the top 5 greatest Survivor Series elimination matches in WWE history.
Survivor Series, the WWE’s Thanksgiving tradition will once again take place this year on November 20th. The event will feature a rematch 12 years in the making between legends Bill Goldberg and Brock Lesnar who will look to erase the debacle that was their first match at Wrestlemania XX. But in three matches true to the pay per view’s name, the elimination-style match will be represented this year as Team Raw and Team Smackdown will do battle in tag team, men’s and women’s matches.
Not all the participants have been decided yet for their respective matches, but for what has been booked so far, these matches have the potential for brilliance, on par with some of the best elimination matches of all time. But that gets one thinking, what are the best matches in the history of the pay per view’s namesake? The tradition goes all the way back to 1987 when the then WWF looked to ride the momentum of their massively successful Wrestlemania III show and devised this type of match card for the following November. There were 4 Survivor Series matches that night and since then there have been 71 more matches of that type, some great, some not so much.
Ahead we break down the 5 best elimination matches in Survivor Series history.
