Ranking Every WWE Survivor Series Main Event From Worst To Best

27 Goldberg Brock Lesnar Survivor Series

A coming out party for Edge and Batista on the heel side masquerading as a hope spot for Randy Orton's failing babyface run, this thrilling Raw brand main event brought the best out of every performer and even hid the limitations of relative rookies Maven and Snitsky.

Underpinned by a storyline permitting the winners to run the red brand for a month, the real narrative was the mistrust subtly brewing between Triple H and Big Dave that afforded 'The Legend Killer' one more night as a guy that looked like he might still stand a chance of main eventing WrestleMania. The spot was clearly 'The Animal's to lose by then of course, but the contest did a superb job of shielding the obvious.
