5 times a WWE PPV card changed at the last minute

#1 Survivor Series 1992

The original main event of Survivor Series '92

Prior to this year's TLC event, the biggest change to a WWE pay-per-view card came back in 1992 when two of WWE's top stars were terminated within days of the Survivor Series. The show's tag-team main event was scheduled to be the Ultimate Maniacs (Ultimate Warrior and Macho Man Randy Savage) vs. Ric Flair and Razor Ramon, with Mr. Perfect, as usual, in Flair's corner.

This event came smack-dab in the middle of WWE's steroid scandal in which the talent roster underwent many changes. As WWE implemented strict drug testing, many performers' physiques were noticeably changing while other talents were outright released. Shockingly, two of the company's biggest stars at the time, the British Bulldog and the Ultimate Warrior, were terminated by Vince McMahon due to their alleged involvement with human growth hormone (HGH).

Both men were advertised for the upcoming Survivor Series, with Bulldog wrestling The Mountie and Warrior in the main event, but neither man appeared. Instead, just nine days before the show, Mr Perfect turned babyface on the 11/16 Prime Time Wrestling, aligning with Randy Savage, and taking Warrior's place at Survivor Series. As for the Bulldog, he dropped the Intercontinental Championship to Shawn Michaels on the 11/14 Saturday Night's Main Event in Bulldog's last televised match before leaving the company.
