Shawn Michaels
Like Randy Orton, Shawn Michaels is regarded as one of Survivor Series’ greatest performers. Michaels has never failed to steal the show. His performance in traditional elimination matches is one that wrestling fans forever acknowledge. Even as his team’s last man standing, he thrilled fans by eliminating opponents and nearly turning the tide.
His most unarguably biggest moment has to be when he made his triumphant wrestling comeback. Much like Orton again, Michaels’ comeback was miraculous after a severe back injury. Michaels’ return match was beyond crucial as he took part in WWE’s first-ever Elimination Chamber Match. Michaels’ comeback was heartwarming, proving he could still win and perform at a high level.
Roman Reigns
In comparison to The Undertaker, Roman Reigns also made his debut at Survivor Series. Reigns’ Survivor Series debut ranks among WWE’s best, marking the rise of The Shield. A year later, he shocked fans again in traditional elimination matches. He eliminated 80% of the team, and he became the sole survivor in his Survivor Series debut match. Alongside debuting at Survivor Series, he won the WWE title for the first time, much like Undertaker did.
Reigns’ outstanding performances at his first Survivor Series were still not enough. A decade later, he entered his first WarGames match with The Bloodline, winning both times.
