10. Survivor Series 2013 (2.35)

The 2013 edition of the Thanksgiving tradition found itself delivering nothing despite being on the cusp of everything.

The image above shows Roman Reigns celebrating as his team's sole survivor. He received a rapturous response, despite still being part of a heel Shield group that had spent much of the autumn terrorising beloved babyfaces Daniel Bryan and CM Punk. Imagine how chuffed Vince McMahon must have been to see his next Cena soaking up positivity at such an early stage? They couldn't miss with him...

And what of Bryan and Punk? The oppressed pair were shoehorned into a listless doubles feud with The Wyatt Family in an angle ostensibly crafted to shoo them both away from rancid title pictures fans clamoured for their involvement in.

Cena and Orton were holding the World and WWE Championships respectively at the time, a month before fighting each other in a mishandled unification of the straps. Their victories that night over Alberto Del Rio and The Big Show were serviced with angered groans from the crowd, perhaps giving McMahon more pause to consider the ascent of his next champion ahead of WrestleMania. Two guesses as to names who weren't on his agenda.
