10 Fascinating WWE Survivor Series 2009 Facts
3. Big Show Had Knee Surgery Shortly After The Pay-Per-View
The World Heavyweight Title triple threat was a decent enough match, aided by the basic story of two conspiring heels cutting down the valiant babyface. Then their hopes for victory disintegrate when they're unable to decide who should get the pin. Plus, Jericho's banter with the geographically-confused fan was fun, too.
Big Show, it turned out, was working hurt like Mysterio was. Two days after Survivor Series, the goliath had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. For several weeks after surgery, Show was mostly inactive, save for doing brief work in Tag Team title matches with Jericho.
The belts were swapped to D-Generation X at the TLC pay-per-view less than three weeks later, which was the most in-ring activity Show had taken part in since Survivor Series.
