5 Superstars with the most matches at WWE Survivor Series

#3 Shawn Michaels

Shawn Michaels forever etches his name into wrestling history during the Montreal Screwjob

With a grand total of 17 matches under his belt, Shawn Michaels comes in third on this list purely on the grounds of his inferior win-loss record.

Having made his first appearance back in 1988, Michaels is the most tenured wrestler on this list. His first Survivor Series venture would prove to be a success as he was on the winning side in a 10-on-10 match-up.

A record of 7-10 over the course of his career shows that the event represented both the major highs and ultimate lows of an all-time great run in the wrestling industry.

One such low came in 1997 when Michaels defeated Bret Hart in Montreal in one of wrestling's most controversial moments: The Montreal Screwjob.

That fateful night looked at one point to be his last at the event, but the Showstopper's big comeback in 2002 would soon become his Survivor Series highlight.

In the first ever Elimination Chamber match, Michaels outlasted five of the best superstars on the roster to win the World Heavyweight Championship, his last singles title in WWE.

Whilst it was once thought that 1997 would be his swansong, his actual final match came in 2008, when, along with Triple H, he was unsuccessful in dethroning John Cena in a match most remembered for its shock opening.

As DX looked set to double up on Cena, Michaels proceeded to instead super kick 'The Game', proving to the fans that this match would have plenty of twists and turns.
