WWE Survivor Series 2021: 5 Best Moments (And 5 Worst)

4. BEST - Randy's Big Record

Vince McMahon Roman Reigns
WWE

Fair play to Randy Orton for amassing an enormous number of matches in between sh*tting in people's gear bags and shaking hands with lower paid staff having just scraped the smegma off his penis and testicles.

It doesn't matter that the record reflects quantity over quality, but that he broke it. As the recent gluts of releases should show, there's no such thing as job security in WWE, but Randy Orton has held on to his for the better part of two decades, and that's pretty admirable.

Fellow big hitters at that end of scale John Cena and Kane were keen to tweet their support, and all of that will be doubled down on when he breaks yet another record on Monday Night Raw. These are still strange post-pandemic times and WWE are wise to trumpet any and all achievements - that they celebrated it with a vintage RKO "outta nowhere" was a rare case of the not-very-nice company doing something that could be classified as just that.
