Ranking Every WWE Survivor Series Main Event From Worst To Best

18. John Cena & The Rock Vs Awesome Truth (2011)

27 Goldberg Brock Lesnar Survivor Series
WWE

Overwhelmed by the sheer star power of their opponents, Awesome Truth deserved more than they received from John Cena and The Rock in 2011's Madison Square Garden main event.

A telling reminder of how WWE had abandoned its core principles long before this point, the heels weren't considered in the same galaxy as two of WWE's top stars - the match was the longest ever 1980s television squash, yet laughably promoted as a main event in the process.
