4 shocking betrayals at Survivor Series you might have forgotten about

In less than a week, the WWE will once again host their Survivor Series PPV, an annual November tradition. Starting in 1987, the show has seen some of the most shocking moments in company history, as well as some historic debuts.

In 1996 for example, the WWE Universe caught their first glimpse of a new rookie by the name of Rocky Maivia, who would quickly become the most electrifying man in sports entertainment, The Rock.

Just one year later though, the company would change forever, with Bret Hart being screwed of the WWF Championship in Montreal.

But outside of the Montreal Screwjob, there have been plenty of shocking, controversial moments at the November pay per view, that many fans may have forgotten about.

Here are four shocking, forgotten betrayals at Survivor Series that you must see.

2001: Kurt Angle betrays the Alliance, saves the WWF

The end of the Monday Night War.

By November 2001, the Invasion storyline had truly run its course. After months of back and forth battles between the WWF and the WCW/ECW Alliance, things needed to end.

So at Survivor Series, the 5-on-5 match was to determine the future of the company, with five of the Alliance's top stars against WWF's top stars.

Nevermind the fact that most of the Alliance stars were WWF talent, things looked bleak near the end of the match, with the evil Stone Cold Steve Austin wailing into the WWF's Rock.

With the match seemingly done, the Alliance's Kurt Angle, who had previously been eliminated returned to the ring, which made many believe the WWF were finished.

Instead, Angle attacked Austin, striking the Rattlesnake with the WWF Championship, allowing The Rock to pick up the victory, revealing himself as Vince McMahon's mole.

The WWF won, the Alliance died and the Monday Night War was finally over.

2002: Paul Heyman destroys his own client

Heyman proved to be the difference maker.

On the night after WrestleMania X8, a new Beast emerged in the WWF, as Brock Lesnar debuted, destroying Spike Dudley.

Flanked by his advocate Paul Heyman, Lesnar went on a warpath, quickly winning the 2002 King of the Ring, before dethroning The Rock at Summerslam to become Undisputed WWE Champion.

By November though, things had changed, as the fans had gotten behind the Beast, who was shockingly the smaller man, feuding with the Big Show.

At Survivor Series, the two faced off, with Brock somehow being able to plant the Giant with a devastating F5.

But it was Heyman who made the difference, pulling the referee from a sure-fire three count, allowing the Big Show to recover hit the Champion with a chair, and win the title.

It was a truly shocking moment, that was made even bigger by being Lesnar's first ever loss in the WWE.

2014: The Big Show turns heel, again

Show shakes hands with the Game.

12 years after siding with Paul Heyman, it was time for The Big Show to turn the heel, and as we know, it wasn't the first time, and it wasn't the last.

After months of battling the evil Authority, John Cena risked everything to destroy the group, with a classic Survivor Series elimination match having Team Cena face team Authority, led by Seth Rollins, where if team Cena won, the Authority would be destroyed.

To add stakes to the encounter, Triple H promised that every one of Team Cena would be fired if they lost, except Big Match John himself.

Perhaps it was this threat that caused the Giant to turn on his team, knocking out Cena, causing his elimination, before walking out himself.

Whilst Team Cena would win, thanks to Dolph Ziggler and the debuting Sting, it could've all gone different thanks to the 7-footer.

2016: The Shield rides again

The Shield reunite to destroy AJ Styles.

The first Survivor Series after the brand split, the 2016 Survivor Series was to first to focus on RAW Vs. SmackDown feuds, including the men's 5-on-5 elimination match.

Being led by WWE Champion AJ Styles, the Phenomenal One had plenty of issues with his own team, including Dean Ambrose.

Upon being eliminated, Ambrose did not exactly show loyalty, attacking Styles, who had defeated him to win the title 2 months prior.

After being held back by security and his SmackDown brothers, Ambrose was helped out by Team Raw's Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, leading to a mini-Shield reunion.

Together, the trio devastated at the same show they had debuted at four years earlier, culminating in their signature Triple Power Bomb to the Phenomenal One through one of the announce tables.

Whilst Team SmackDown did eventually win, it was with no thanks to the turncoat Dean Ambrose.
