5 most memorable moments in Survivor Series history

#2 The debut of The Shield

The Shield made their debut at the 2012 Survivor Series event

The 2012 Survivor Series event was memorable as one of the most dominant stables of all time made their debut. The main event of the show was a triple threat match for the WWE championship. CM Punk defended his title against John Cena and Ryback. The "straight edge superstar" managed to retain his title and extended his title reign to over a year thanks to interference from three men dressed in black.

However, the highlight of the event was how this main event match ended. The Shield, dressed in black, got involved in the contest as Ryback was just about to pin Cena. They hoisted the big man and triple-powerbombed him through the announce table to the amazement of fans in the arena. This enabled Punk to easily pin Cena for the win while the night also marked the debut of the three young men that would later be known as The Shield.
