5 lesser known Survivor Series facts you need to know

#4. Sole Survivor for the consecutive years

Randy Orton has an excellent track record at Survivor Series

If Wrestlemania is the home of the Undertaker, then Survivor Series is the home of the Viper, Randy Orton. The Apex Predator holds many records at the event. One of them is winning the most traditional Survivor Series tag team matches as the sole survivor.

Randy Orton was the sole survivor in 2003, 2004 and 2005 iterations of the big four event. In 2003, Orton, as a part of team Bischoff, eliminated Shawn Michaels after an interference from Batista to clinch the win for his team. In 2004, Orton was a babyface and overcame his former mentor, Triple H after executing an RKO out of nowhere. In 2006, Orton eliminated Michaels again to become the sole survivor.

However, Orton is not the only superstar to become a sole survivor thrice. The Ultimate Warrior was also the sole survivor in 1988, 1989 and 1990. Both of these superstars also coincidentally achieved this feat in consecutive years (2003-05 for Orton and 1988-90 for Warrior).
