Ranking Every WWE Survivor Series Main Event From Worst To Best

24. Chris Jericho Vs John Cena (2008)

27 Goldberg Brock Lesnar Survivor Series
WWE

A crushingly predictable conclusion to Chris Jericho's best ever career year (and one he'd have to wait a decade for before another one as good came along), the return from injury of John Cena at the November supershow brought his time at the top of the card face to face with the worst of 'SuperCena'.

'Big Match John' was riding high on his reputation of being every bit the worker WWE had long promoted him as, but he took the night off against 'Y2J', undercutting the incredible transformation he'd undergone in his iconic rivalry with Shawn Michaels earlier that year.
