10 Best WWE Survivor Series Grand Finales That Didn’t Happen

Imagining what could have been at WWE Survivor Series events from the past.

The 1990 Survivor Series event was a unique show that featured a main event match where the winners of the undercard tag team elimination matches teamed up in the main event. The babyface side consisted of Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior and Tito Santana going against the heel team of Ted Dibiase, Rick Martel, The Warlord, Hercules and Paul Roma. You might think that the heels would be favored to win since they had the numbers advantage 5 to 3, but to nobody's surprise it was Hogan and Warrior that emerged as the winners. Even though it was a great idea, WWE never went back to the "Ultimate Survivors" in a grand finale match like they did in 1990. It was likely a time issue, because it's hard to fit in another match on a three hour show, but it would definitely have made future events more exciting. Today's feature is a look back at past Survivor Series events to try to figure out how WWE may have booked ten grand finale matches by putting the heels on one side and the faces on the other side. In some cases, it's faces vs. faces since WWE didn't book heels to win that often. For the sake of fantasy booking, this will only apply to Survivor Series events that have two or more elimination tag matches among male competitors. If there's only one tag match between the men then it obviously wouldn't make sense to include it (in case you're wondering there were 17 events to pick from). Here are ten of the best Survivor Series grand finale matches that didn't happen.
