Top 10 Greatest Survivor Series Matches

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 05:28:06 +0000

Get ready A’Lo and Eck are back to relive the best of the best! In this video, we’re counting down the Top 10 Greatest Survivor Series Matches of All Time — from shocking betrayals to unforgettable debuts and all-out chaos inside the ring. The Champ is Here… One More Time. 🏆 In one of the most emotional moments in WWE history, John Cena defies the odds to finally capture the Intercontinental Championship — the one title that’s eluded him his entire career. The “Last Time Is Now” Tournament brought together WWE’s most dangerous competitors, but Cena’s determination, legacy, and never-give-up spirit proved why he’s still one of the greatest to ever step in the ring. Meanwhile, Aleister Black makes a dark statement, and Zelina Vega shows she’s more than a manager — she’s a force all her own. The fallout from this night will change everything heading into the next era of WWE. #wwe #survivorseries #top10 #prowrestling
