One of the beautiful things about Survivor Series matches is that its not hard to protect or push someone during these elimination matches. If WWE wants to protect someone but they have to be eliminated, you can have them get counted out or disqualified, or have some shenanigans. But if you want to give someone a rocket push, put them in this match and have them start pinning people left and right. Most Eliminations, Total: 13, Randy Orton; Runners-up: 12, Shawn Michaels, and 11, Big Show Quite simply, Orton is an elimination machine, pinning more than one-and-a-half men per match. In 2011, he eliminated three men en route to victory. It doesnt look like hell add to that total this year, though Big Show could climb the ranks and potentially tie the Viper if he puts two men down. Most Eliminations, One Match: 4, Roman Reigns Several guys have eliminated three men in one match, including Sgt. Slaughter, Diesel, Big Show, Randy Orton, Shawn Michaels and Triple H. But only Reigns has nearly taken out an entire team by himself. Last year, he speared Jimmy Uso, Cody Rhodes, Goldust and Rey Mysterio right out of their 5-on-5 Survivor Series match. Its kind of a shame Reigns isnt in a Survivor Series match this year to see how much his total could grow. Most Times Eliminated: 8 (tie), Shawn Michaels and Kane Both men have not had great luck getting through an entire Survivor Series match, with Michaels left standing in only three of his record 11 matches. However, Kane might be the ultimate example in futility. Not only has he been eliminated in every match hes entered, but hes only managed to eliminate two men.
