Survivor Series match


The Survivor Series match is a professional wrestling elimination match held in the WWE. The match sees two teams pitted against each other, and as each member of the team is eliminated, the match continues until one entire team is eliminated. Although the matches typically see 4 or 5 people per team, there have been as many as 10 on a team, and as few as 1 on a team. The matches are held annually during the Survivor Series pay-per-view. The 1998 and 2002 events are the only Survivor Series events without a Survivor Series match.
Through the 2019 Survivor Series there have been 85 Survivor Series matches, of which only 8 have included women. The shortest match was a 1 on 4 match which saw Big Show eliminate Big Boss Man, Mideon, Prince Albert and Viscera in 1:26. 2016 saw the only Survivor Series match to last over 50 minutes.

History

In 2001 following WWF's acquisition of World Championship Wrestling, the Survivor Series match featured WWF against The Alliance. During 2003 and 2004 with the WWE brand extension, the event saw each Raw and SmackDown having their own match. In 2005 and 2008, there was only one match which saw Raw against SmackDown. However, 2016, 2017, and 2018 saw the Raw against SmackDown format return, with one men's, one men's tag team and one women's.
2009 featured the first women's Survivor Series match, since 1995. After several years of no women's Survivor Series matches, in 2013, there was the third woman's match. 2014 featured an additional women's match. From 2016-2018 there was a women's Raw vs. SmackDown match.
