For the first time in WWE history, Survivor Series will be contested between RAW, SmackDown, and NXT with all brands desperate to walk away with the bragging rights. There are already a few confirmed matches including the Tag Team Champions and the Women's Champions from the respective brands facing each other in triple threat matches, whilst there are others waiting to be confirmed including a Women's 5 on 5 on 5 Survivor Series Elimination match.
During the earlier editions of the Survivor Series pay-per-view, it was very rare that the WWE had a women's match, but the Women's Revolution are continuing to steer in a positive direction. Some examples include having an all-women's main event at the Royal Rumble in 2018 and most notably also having the first ever women's main event at WrestleMania this year. On top of this, there have also been at least two women's matches in the past two Survivor Series, with at least another two confirmed for this year's pay-per-view.
History has suggested that not every female wrestler has had success at Survivor Series with Jacqueline and Lita, two Hall-of-Famers by their own merit, have never secured a victory at the unpredictable pay-per-view.
However, among the many female wrestlers that have competed at the pay-per-view, there are a small handful of wrestlers to be on the winning side of history time and time again.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
#7 Nikki Bella (2-0)
Nikki Bella’s first appearance at Survivor Series was in 2011, when she was a lumberjill for the Divas Championship match, but her first bout was actually two years later when her team, Total Divas, took on True Divas in a 7-on-7 Survivor Series Elimination match. Nikki proved to be a key asset towards her team winning with three eliminations and ended up becoming one of two survivors along with Natalya.
The following year, she would beat three-time Divas Champion, AJ Lee in less than a minute to capture her second championship. Whilst the way in which she won was controversial as her twin sister, Brie, would cause a distraction by kissing AJ Lee, Nikki would go on to become the longest reigning Divas Champion in history. She also became the longest reigning female champion on the main roster since Trish Stratus back in 2005.
She was scheduled to have her third match at the PPV in 2016 as the captain of Team SmackDown in the Survivor Series elimination match but was attacked leading to her being replaced before the match even started.
With Nikki no longer part of the company, she is very likely to keep her undefeated record intact at the pay-per-view.
#6 The Fabulous Moolah (2-0)
The Fabulous Moolah had begun her wrestling career in the 1950s, so it should be no surprise she featured in the first-ever Survivor Series PPV back in 1987 where she was the team captain. Despite being eliminated halfway through the match, her team still managed to pick up the victory.
Moolah’s next match at the PPV would be twelve years later at the age of 76 where she competed in an eight-woman tag team match. However, Moolah proved that her age was not an issue and beat a team that included Jacqueline and Ivory, two former women’s champions, and was the one to get the pinfall over then-champion Ivory for the victory.
With her death in November 2007, on top of her accomplishments including being a four-time women’s champion and inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, she will also remain as one of the few women to have never lost at Survivor Series.
#5 Kelly Kelly (3-0)
When Kelly Kelly recently became the first woman to win the 24/7 Championship earlier this year, she also became the first woman in the company in fifteen years to win a Championship title that male wrestlers could also compete for, when Jacqueline won the Cruiserweight Championship back in 2004.
On top of this win and capturing the Divas Championship back in 2011, another accolade that can’t be taken away from her is her undefeated record at Survivor Series.
Her first appearance at the PPV was back in 2006 and her first match was actually a year later when she was part of Team Mickie where they won the 10-Woman Tag Team Match. At Survivor Series 2008, she would compete in her first Survivor Series Elimination match and got the first elimination of the night within a few minutes steering Team RAW eventually to victory. She’d repeat this the following year at Survivor Series 2009 when she got the first elimination again - this time pinning Layla.
Whilst Kelly Kelly has sporadic appearances in WWE over the past few years, it seems unlikely she’ll compete in another Survivor Series any time soon, concluding she’ll remain most likely undefeated at this pay-per-view.
#4 Sasha Banks (3-0)
Having represented Team RAW over the past three Survivor Series, Sasha Banks is one of three female wrestlers to have three victories in a row at the PPV without a loss to date.
Despite Banks getting eliminated early on in her first appearance of the PPV in 2016, Team RAW still came out successful giving Banks her first victory. However, Banks would go on to improve in subsequent years.
In 2017, she got her first elimination at the PPV when she applied the Banks Statement to Naomi getting down to the final four Superstars before Team RAW won again. The following year, Banks would score another elimination making Mandy Rose from Team SmackDown tap out and getting down to the final three.
Banks is a confirmed for this year's Survivor Series elimination match, representing Team SmackDown for the first time in her career.
However, with an immaculate record at the PPV and improving with each year, it is understandable why Banks is the SmackDown captain at this year's Survivor Series.
#3 Nia Jax (3-0)
Another female Superstar that has been part of the winning team in the past three Survivor Series PPVs is none other than Nia Jax.
Due to her strength and power, Nia Jax is often the difference-maker in these matches, which has been confirmed with her performances and unblemished record at the PPV. In her first appearance, despite Jax not technically eliminating anyone, she proved to be key in her team winning when she attacked Naomi causing her to be counted out before attacking Becky Lynch towards the latter stages of the match giving Team RAW a key advantage.
Jax didn't make much of an impact towards Team RAW winning in 2017, where she was eliminated early via count out, she’d make up for it with her best performance to date the following year where she eliminated Asuka and became the sole survivor of Team RAW.
Jax hasn’t been seen in the WWE since WrestleMania 35, nor was she in the WWE Draft this year, but would be welcomed by any of the three brands representing them.
#2 Bayley (3-0)
Identical to Sasha Banks and Nia Jax, Bayley has also been in the winning team in the past three Survivor Series.
Bayley immediately made her impact at the PPV in 2016, when she eliminated Team SmackDown’s captain, Becky Lynch leaving herself and Charlotte as the survivors of Team RAW. Bayley would eliminate Lynch again the following year.
At last year's Survivor Series, Bayley became the first female wrestler to score eliminations in three consecutive Survivor Series Elimination matches, when she managed to eliminate Carmella and was the reason to getting Sonya Deville counted out of the match, which led to Team RAW's victory.
Bayley will be heading into this year's Survivor Series for a fourth consecutive year but this time representing Team SmackDown and as their Champion against the RAW Women’s Champion, Becky Lynch and the NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Bayzler. With a new attitude and an impeccable record at the pay-per-view to date, her rival Champions will not be overlooking her.
#1 Mickie James (5-0)
Head and shoulders over the rest of the women at this pay-per-view is none other than Mickie James.
James' first victory came in at Survivor Series 2006, when she would beat the four-time Women’s Champion Lita, in what was the latter's final match in the company. James proved her win was no fluke by pinning Melina the following year to win the 10-Woman tag team match.
At Survivor Series 2008, she competed in her first Survivor Series Elimination match when she helped Team RAW eliminating Team SmackDown’s captain, Michelle McCool, in the match. Even though she got pinned by Maryse, her team still won, giving her the victory. She would improve further on her Survivor Series record when she led her team to victory, becoming one of two sole survivors in the unpredictable match.
It would take another nine years before Mickie James would wrestle at the PPV again, but ended on the winning side with a fifth victory without a loss when Team RAW narrowly edged out Team SmackDown.
Despite still being on WWE’s website as a wrestler, she was not drafted in this year’s draft suggesting her perfect record at the pay-per-view is not at risk of getting dented any time soon.
