5 surprising WWE Superstars who main evented Survivor Series

#4 Former WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champion Erik Rowan (Survivor Series 2014)

WWE provided an intriguing main event for Survivor Series 2014 as The Authority faced a team led by John Cena. Erick Rowan was a member of the Team Authority.

Rowan was never seen as a main eventer by WWE, but he managed to headline a "big four" event in this case. Team Authority almost cheated their way to victory as they cornered Team Cena's sole survivor Dolph Ziggler.

However, Sting appeared to save the day. Entering a WWE ring for the first time, 'The Icon' attacked Triple H and facilitated victory for the babyfaces led by Cena.

#3 Former WWE Hardcore Champion Maven (Survivor Series 2004)

Although he was never seen as a potential headliner, Maven had an interesting WWE career. He managed to eliminate The Undertaker at Royal Rumble, who proceeded to attack him mercilessly.

Maven main evented the 2004 edition of the Survivor Series. He represented Team Orton against Team Triple H. Snitsky attacked Maven before the match but returned with a steel chair, only to be eliminated by 'The Game.'

Team Orton won the match after their leader pinned the opposing leader. As winners, they ran WWE Raw for a month, although Mr. McMahon consistently overturned most of their decisions.
