Description

Survivor Series (2011) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by WWE that took place on November 20, 2011 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. It was the twenty-fifth annual Survivor Series event and the first one to take place in Madison Square Garden since the 2002 event. It sold out in only 90 minutes.

The main event involved WrestleMania XXVIII opponents John Cena and The Rock teaming against The Miz and R-Truth, otherwise known as the Awesome Truth. After losing to Alberto Del Rio the previous month at Vengeance due to interference by The Miz and R-Truth, Cena decided to face both of them with Zack Ryder. However, before the match, Ryder was ambushed by the two and Cena was beaten down by them in the middle of the match. Former Interim General Manager John Laurinaitis booked Cena with a match against Miz and Truth at Survivor Series with a partner of his choosing, with Cena deciding to choose his WrestleMania XXVIII opponent, The Rock, as his partner. Billed as the most charismatic team of all time, The Rock accepted his offer the following week.

Another main event from Raw involved WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio against CM Punk for the WWE Championship. Three months prior at SummerSlam, Del Rio cashed in his Money in the Bank contract against CM Punk to become WWE Champion. While Punk did get his rematch at Hell in a Cell, John Cena was the champion going into the match and it was a Triple Threat match, thus he expressed his desire to have his official one-on-one rematch for the championship, which Del Rio firmly objected to. After locking him into an Anaconda Vise after a match, Del Rio agreed to give CM Punk his title shot at Survivor Series.

The main event from SmackDown involved the World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry against Big Show for the World Heavyweight Championship. The previous month at Vengeance, Henry attempted to suplex Big Show from the second turnbuckle, only for the ring to collapse, leaving both men unable to continue. Continuing their feud, another match was booked involving both men at Survivor Series with a reinforced ring so that it would not buckle and collapse.

As a tradition to the Survivor Series pay-per-view, there was a 10-man tag-team elimination match, this year involving Team Orton, consisting of Randy Orton, Sheamus, Sin Cara, Mason Ryan, and Kofi Kingston, against Team Barrett, consisting of Wade Barrett, Cody Rhodes, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger and Hunico.
