Survivor Series is the second longest-running WWE PPV in history, only behind the Grandest Stage of Them All, WrestleMania. Survivor Series is also a part of the "Big Five" WWE events that are held every year, alongside WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, SummerSlam and Money in the Bank.

This year's Survivor Series event will mark the 34th anniversary of the PPV, which was first introduced back in 1987. It's set to celebrate 30 years of The Undertaker, but The Deadman isn't thought to be lacing up his boots for the event.

A number of exciting matches have already been announced for Survivor Series 2020. WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns will face WWE Champion Randy Orton, while RAW Women's Champion, Asuka will square off against SmackDown Women's Champion, Sasha Banks.

It's safe to say that enough data and statistics regarding the event have been accumulated to a point where people can figure out the biggest winners and losers in the illustrious history of Survivor Series.

This list will include current WWE Superstars who have won five or more matches at Survivor Series. That being said, let's take a look at eight current WWE names who have the most wins at Survivor Series.


#8: Former five-time WWE Women's Champion Mickie James

  • Survivor Series appearances: 5
  • Wins: 5
  • Losses: 0

Out of all the WWE Superstars in this list, Mickie James is the only one who remains undefeated at Survivor Series.

WWE Hall of Famer Lita's original run with the company came to an end in 2006 when she was defeated by Mickie James for the WWE Women's Championship at Survivor Series. In 2007, James would be a part of the winning team in a 10-Diva tag team match at Survivor Series.

James was then a part of Team RAW in a 5-on-5 Survivor Series Elimination match in 2008. Team Mickie would defeat Team Michelle the following year at the same PPV.

Mickie's fifth and final Survivor Series victory, as of now, occurred years later in 2018, where she wrestled for Team RAW at the event.

In recent memory, Mickie James remained undrafted in the 2020 WWE Draft. She has suffered a minor injury, but the WWE veteran will reportedly end up on RAW when she comes back.

#7 WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns

  • Survivor Series appearances: 7
  • Wins: 5
  • Losses: 2

Roman Reigns made his main roster television debut in WWE alongside Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose at Survivor Series 2012, where The Shield brutalized Ryback in the main event.

The Big Dog defeated Alberto Del Rio in the semi-finals of the vacant WWE World Heavyweight Championship tournament at Survivor Series 2015.

Roman Reigns beat Dean Ambrose to become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion in the main event, but lost it on the same night when Sheamus cashed-in the MITB contract.

Years later in the 2017, The Shield defeated The New Day in a six-man tag team match. Roman Reigns has also been a part of the traditional Survivor Series elimination tag match several times in the past.

This year, The Tribal Chief is scheduled to wrestle Randy Orton in a cross-branded match between the two biggest champions in WWE at the moment.


#6 WWE Legend Rey Mysterio

  • Survivor Series appearances: 11
  • Wins: 5
  • Losses: 6

Although the legendary luchador of WWE doesn't hold the best win-loss record at Survivor Series, his frequent appearances at the PPV have ensured that he has earned enough number of victories to make this list.

Mysterio is the only Superstar in WWE history to be a part of the winning team in his first five traditional Survivor Series match appearances.

Most recently, Rey Mysterio wrestled Brock Lesnar in an entertaining clash for the WWE Championship at Survivor Series 2019, which also included Dominik Mysterio to a certain degree.

Dominik and Rey Mysterio were recently drafted to SmackDown as a tag team, and they are currently embroiled in a long-term storyline with Murphy and Seth Rollins.

#5 WWE SmackDown Superstar Dolph Ziggler

  • Survivor Series appearances: 10
  • Wins: 8
  • Losses: 2

Dolph Ziggler's WWE career has seen many ups and downs, but he has been associated with Survivor Series more times than many. Furthermore, most of his appearances have resulted in a victory.

Ziggler's career-defining performance as the sole survivor in the main event of Survivor Series 2014 is remembered by fans to this day. WWE's Authority stable was removed from power thanks to Sting's first WWE appearance, and the efforts made by Dolph Ziggler on behalf of Team Cena.

On the road to this year's WWE Survivor Series event, Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode were drafted to SmackDown as a tag team.


#4: WWE Champion Randy Orton

  • Survivor Series appearances: 14
  • Wins: 8
  • Losses: 6

Randy Orton ranks No. 5 in the list of most appearances made by WWE Superstars at Survivor Series.

From 2003 to 2005, Randy Orton was the sole survivor of a winning team. The Viper's loss record at the same event has increased over the years, but Orton remains one of the most relevant WWE stars to this day.

He defeated Drew McIntyre in the recently-concluded Hell in a Cell PPV to become the new WWE Champion. As mentioned in the previous slide, a champion vs. champion match against Roman Reigns awaits him at this year's Survivor Series event.

#3 WWE Legend The Big Show

  • Survivor Series appearances: 15
  • Wins: 8
  • Losses: 7

Big Show's WWE Survivor Series record is quite similar to that of Randy Orton, except the giant has accumulated an extra loss and holds one more Survivor Series appearance than The Viper.

Big Show has 13 career Survivor Series eliminations, and he ranks as the second-most person to do the same in WWE history. The Big Show also won his first WWE Championship by defeating The Rock and Triple H in the main event of Survivor Series 1999.

In recent memory, Big Show wrestled in a high-stakes match with Drew McIntyre and also made some appearances in the context of Randy Orton's legend killer storyline in 2020.


#2 WWE Legend Kane

  • Survivor Series appearances: 17
  • Wins: 8
  • Losses: 7
  • Draws: 2

Kane's first few WWE Survivor Series matches in 1995 and 1996 saw him portray Isaac Yankem and Fake Diesel, respectively.

Although Kane doesn't have a lot of career-defining moments in WWE Survivor Series history, he is tied with many others mentioned in this list when it comes to the total number of victories accumulated.

The Devil's Favorite Demon is tied with WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels to make the second-highest number of appearances (17) in Survivor Series history.

The Brothers of Destruction, Kane and The Undertaker, teamed up during the latter's 25th-anniversary show against Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper at Survivor Series 2015.

Kane's latest appearance on WWE TV was in January 2020, when The Big Red Monster was interrupted by "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt in the midst of Daniel Bryan's storyline with Wyatt's evil alter-ego.

#1 WWE Legend The Undertaker

  • Total Survivor Series appearances: 18
  • Wins: 13
  • Losses: 5

Speaking of The Undertaker and anniversaries in WWE, The Deadman will be making an appearance at this year's Survivor Series event to celebrate his 30th-anniversary in WWE.

There are several ways WWE could book The Undertaker for Survivor Series 2020, even though he retired earlier this year. The Undertaker's infamous on-screen debut occurred during the 1990 edition of Survivor Series, where The Deadman was revealed as the mystery partner of Ted DiBiase's Million Dollar Team.

Undertaker won his first-ever WWF Championship by defeating Hulk Hogan exactly one year later.

Since then, The Deadman has been involved in several gimmick matches at Survivor Series. He has also faced high-profile stars like Batista, Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho, and even Mr. McMahon at the aforementioned event.

It might be surprising to know that Undertaker has only suffered five losses out of his 18 Survivor Series appearances in the history of WWE, which is a pretty great record.

Even though The Phenom has been synonymous with WrestleMania, thanks to his streak, Survivor Series is where it all began for the legend known as The Undertaker.
