Survivor Series is one of WWE’s biggest events. For many years, elimination tag team matches were a big part of Survivor Series; in fact, the first four editions featured nothing but traditional Survivor Series elimination tag bouts. The match type became an attraction because of how unique the concept was, forcing unlikely partners to rely on each other in order to win.
At the heart of these elimination matches is the elimination itself. Whether it’s via pinfall, submission, count-out, or disqualification, an elimination can change the entire balance of that particular match. Let’s find out who the five WWE wrestlers are who have eliminated more people in the entire history of traditional Survivor Series elimination tag team matches.
Braun Strowman (9 Eliminations)
- Number Of Survivor Series Elimination Matches: 5 (2016-2020)
- Wrestlers Eliminated: Dean Ambrose (2016); Shinsuke Nakamura, Bobby Roode & Randy Orton (2017); Jeff Hardy, Rey Mysterio, The Miz & Shane McMahon (2018); Otis (2020)
- Wins: 4 (2017-2020)
- Losses: 1 (2016)
- Was He Ever The Sole Survivor?: Yes (2017, 2018, 2020)
Despite only competing in his very first traditional Survivor Series elimination tag bout in 2016, Braun Strowman finds himself on this list by scoring a whopping nine eliminations in just five matches. In 2016, The Monster Among Men competed in the match as a part of Team Raw. Strowman eliminated former WWE Champion Dean Ambrose during the match, getting counted out moments later thanks to James Ellsworth’s interference.
Strowman got a major push in 2017, beating Roman Reigns numerous times throughout the year. Braun represented Raw yet again at that year’s Survivor Series, eliminating three SmackDown wrestlers – Shinsuke Nakamura, Bobby Roode, and Randy Orton – before standing tall alongside Triple H in the end. Strowman was even more dominant the following year as he pinned Jeff Hardy, Rey Mysterio, The Miz, and Shane McMahon, and helped Raw win again.
Braun Strowman’s push slowed down from there, scoring no eliminations in 2019’s unique SmackDown vs. Raw vs. NXT Triple Threat Elimination Tag Team Match. Braun’s last elimination at Survivor Series would come a year later when he pinned Otis during Raw’s clean sweep win over the blue brand.
