The Rock was a major player at Survivor Series during his glittering wrestling career. Rock made his debut at Survivor Series 1996, under the moniker, Rocky Maivia, a name which paid homage to his wrestling lineage, his father Rocky Johnson and his grandfather, High Chief Peter Maivia.

Rock was the sole survivor in a traditional tag team elimination match, pinning Crush and Goldust in quick succession, immediately making a name for himself in the promotion.

However, it was the 1998 Survivor Series in which The Rock truly gained superstardom. On an upward trajectory since Summerslam, Rock had got over huge with the WWE audience and was the most popular babyface not named Steve Austin in the company.

One of 14 participants in the Deadly Game tournament for the vacant WWE Championship, Rock first defeated The Big Boss Man in four seconds, Ken Shamrock, The Undertaker and finally Mankind to become WWE Champion for the first time.

However, that doesn't tell the full story. Rock, secretly was WWE owner, Vince McMahon's choice to become the new Champion and McMahon in a re-run of Survivor Series 1997, instructed the timekeeper to ring the bell when Rock had Mankind in the Sharpshooter.

Rock was the Corporate Champion.

In 2001, Rock was once again the sole survivor in a traditional elimination tag team match, this time with the future of WWE at stake. As one-fifth of Team WWE vs Team WCW/ECW in a Winner Take All match for the future of each company, Rock last pinned Team WCW/ECW leader, Steve Austin to vanquish the Alliance, for good.

Finally, The Rock's comeback match after seven years away from the squared circle came at the 2011 edition of Survivor Series. Teaming with rival, John Cena, Rock, defeated the team of The Miz and R-Truth in a pre-cursor to the eventual Rock-Cena encounter that took place at Wrestlemania 28.
