Top 5 traditional Survivor Series matches

#4 Survivor Series 2014 – Team Cena Vs. Team Authority

Ziggler reigned supreme overcoming a 3 on 1 disadvantage.

Combining The Shield, Randy Orton and Kane and led by Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, The Authority was hands-down one of the most dominant stables in the last ten years. However, for all of the wrestlers that they could recruit, there was one they couldn’t – John Cena.

This was the reason for this match happening with significant consequences for either team – if The Authority lost, they would be removed from power, but if Cenas’ teammates lost, they would have been fired.

As the stakes were so high for this match, it is easy to see why each team had one common goal and unlike many Survivor Series matches, there were actually no in-team problems - until the night itself.

When it was down to 3-on-3, Big Show turned on his own team by attacking Cena and aligning himself with The Authority, which left Dolph Ziggler facing three remaining members of Team Authority.

As Ziggler managed to get it down to a 1-on-1 with ‘The Man’ Seth Rollins, the match turned on its’ head multiple times with Ziggler thwarting many of The Authority’s tactics. This match concluded when Triple H attacked Ziggler and a crooked referee came out to do the count before Sting made his long-awaited debut in the WWE, ultimately giving Dolph Ziggler one of the most shocking Survivor Series elimination match endings ever.
