Ranking Every WWE Survivor Series Main Event From Worst To Best

9. CM Punk Vs John Cena Vs Ryback (2012)

27 Goldberg Brock Lesnar Survivor Series

Remembered mostly for the debut of The Shield, the triple threat battle between CM Punk, John Cena and Ryback is one of 'The Big Guy's few under-appreciated classics, and stands as yet more evidence that Punk and Cena were each other's best career opponents.

Slithering (and evidently really bloody injured) heel Punk was in magnificent form as a WWE Champion more desperate to retain than actually win, and the once-defeated Ryback was still mostly unstoppable before 'The Hounds Of Justice' wreaked historic turtle-necked havoc on the scene.
