#3 The Rock (Survivor Series 1996 and 2001)
The story of The Rock's career progression in WWE can be told via the two times he was the sole survivor, five years apart from each other. The Great One made his WWE debut at Survivor Series 1996 in Madison Square Garden, partaking in a 4-on-4 elimination match.
Rocky Maivia, as he was known back then, pulled off a major upset and defeated Crush and Goldust to become the sole survivor on his first night as a WWE Superstar. It was a huge moment for the young debutant, as he would go on to achieve a lot in the company.
Five years later, The Rock was one of the top stars in WWE and played a huge part as a babyface in the Invasion angle. He was part of the final match of the angle as a part of Team WWF, against the Alliance. The Great One stood tall after one of the greatest elimination matches in Survivor Series history.
The end of the match saw The Rock and 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin fight it out after a great action-packed match, with Kurt Angle double-crossing the Alliance and helping WWE come out victorious. If it wasn't clear before this, Survivor Series 2001 confirmed The Rock as a WWE legend.
