5 matches that prove Randy Orton is Mr Survivor Series

#4 Team Orton vs Team Kofi (Survivor Series 2009)

ET
This match was centred around legitimising Kofi Kingston

This match is undoubtedly the weakest one on the list, with the two teams being less impressive as a whole, but it's still one to remember, especially due to the ending.

Kofi Kingston was feuding with Randy Orton and was getting a big push as a babyface, even getting great crowd reactions. Kofi's team comprised of Mark Henry, MVP, himself, Christian and R-Truth against Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, Ted DiBiase, CM Punk and William Regal.

Randy was over with the crowd big time despite being a vicious heel. Thanks to help from Legacy, Mark Henry was eliminated with an RKO right off the bat. This match was more to get Kofi Kingston over, and the crowd was right behind him.

The memorable ending of the match saw Kofi go 2-on-1 against Randy Orton and CM Punk, who were already former World Champions at the time. He first pinned CM Punk and then hit Trouble In Paradise on Randy Orton, pinning the two top superstars in mere seconds. The crowd pop to Kofi's victory was tremendous and the commentators were putting him over big time.

It's truly a shame that WWE didn't capitalize on it. A botch by Kofi Kingston against Randy Orton seemingly saw the end of his singles push into a possible main eventer. However, he still did end up having a decorated career and has been doing wonderfully with The New Day.

However, Xavier Woods, Big E and many WWE fans are still prying for Kofi to eventually win a World Championship. One can hope, right?
