Survivor Series

Survivor Series, branded as Survivor Series: WarGames since 2022, is a professional wrestling event produced annually since 1987 by WWE, the world's largest professional wrestling promotion. Held in November generally the week of Thanksgiving, it is the second longest-running pay-per-view (PPV) event in history, behind WWE's flagship event, WrestleMania. In addition to traditional PPV since the inaugural 1987 event, it has aired via livestreaming since the 2014 event. It is also considered one of the company's five biggest events of the year, along with WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, SummerSlam, and Money in the Bank, referred to as the "Big Five".

From 1987 to 2021, the event was characterized by having Survivor Series matches, which are tag team elimination matches that typically feature teams of four or five wrestlers against each other. Stipulations had also been added to these matches, such as members of the losing team being (kayfabe) fired. During these years, only two events did not feature Survivor Series matches: the 1998 event, which hosted an elimination tournament for the vacant WWF Championship (now WWE Championship), and the 2002 event, which saw the debut of the Elimination Chamber, a type of multiperson steel cage match won by eliminating all other opponents. Since 2022, the event has been based around WarGames matches for the men and women. WarGames is a team-based steel cage match where the roofless cage surrounds two rings placed side by side and the two teams typically have four to five members each but it is decided by one fall instead of eliminating all opponents. As a result, the events since 2022 have not featured Survivor Series matches.
