5 best matches in Survivor Series history

#2 Elimination Chamber Match - Survivor Series 2002

The first-ever Elimination Chamber match at Survivor Series 2002 was about the comeback story of one man, Shawn Michaels.

He retired from the company in 1998 due to multiple injuries after he dropped the WWE Championship to Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania 14.

Four years later, The Heartbreak Kid then made a remarkable comeback to the squared circle, starting a feud with his real-life best friend Triple H. Their match at SummerSlam 2002 was spectacular, with Michaels' emerging victorious.

At Survivor Series 2002, in the demonic Elimination Chamber, The Game put his World Heavyweight title on the line against five other superstars. Shawn Michaels outperformed Rob Van Dam, Kane, Chris Jericho, and Booker T to pin Triple H with Sweet Chin Music as he won his maiden World Heavyweight Championship.

To come back after a hiatus and win the title was a testament to the will, grit, and passion this WWE Hall of Famer demonstrated.

#1 Team WWF vs. Team Alliance - Survivor Series 2001

The best match in the history of the Survivor Series has to be the traditional five-on-five contest featuring Team WWF against Team Alliance in a 'Winner Takes All' main event at the 2001 edition as the conclusion to the Invasion storyline.

A lot was riding on this match, as the losing team would go out of business. Team WWF consisted of The Rock, Chris Jericho, The Undertaker, Kane, and Big Show. Meanwhile, Team Alliance featured Stone Cold Steve Austin, Kurt Angle, Rob Van Dam, Booker T, and Shane McMahon.

In a gripping affair, the match went back and forth as eliminations continued to happen on both teams. The biggest twist came when Angle betrayed Team Alliance, allowing The Rock to pin Stone Cold, who was the last surviving member of his team with the Rock Bottom.

Team WWF won the contest as Team Alliance went out of commission. The match, till date, is etched in the memory of fans as a treat they will always savor.
