10 Biggest WWE Survivor Series Debuts

6. Jazz (2001)

Paul Heyman was predictably more excited than just about anybody else than when his ECW discovery Jazz made her WWE bow as part of an Alliance that would literally cease to be less than an hour later.

It may have looked like inopportune timing on the part of the 'Baddest B*tch', but it probably couldn't have worked out any better.

Though putting in a relatively pedestrian display in the six-pack challenge with Lita, Ivory, Mighty Molly, Jacqueline and eventual winner Trish Stratus, Jazz was entering a division about to undergo its most profound transformation up to that point.

Stratus lifted a belt abandoned by dominant former Champion Chyna, and would ultimately lead the league through several prosperous years before WWE gave into itself and fell back on exploitative Diva titillation. Polished and professional, Jazz and Trish traded the title in 2002 and 2003. Her WWE arrival may have come too late into an ECW/WCW invasion, but otherwise couldn't have been more welcome.
