5 lesser known Survivor Series facts you need to know

#1. Only rematch in the history of Survivor Series

The Montreal Screwjob

WWE has been heavily promoting the match between AJ Styles and Brock Lesnar in the upcoming Survivor Series as the rematch from last year's event. In the 31 years history of Survivor Series, there should have been other rematches as well, right? Wrong.

It is amazing to comprehend that there has only ever been one rematch in the rich history of Survivor Series. It was contested between Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart. Both times, Bret Hart was the WWF Champion, and Michaels was the secondary champion. In 1992, the duo had their first Survivor Series match together for Hart's WWF championship. Hart defeated Michaels via the Sharpshooter.

In 1997, they had their rematch. Hart was the WWF champion whereas Michaels was the European champion. This clash is infamously known as the "Montreal Screwjob". Even though Hart was supposed to win the match, Vince McMahon told the referee to ring the bell while Michaels had Hart under a sharpshooter, thus awarding the win to the Heart Break Kid.
