4. Randy Orton 16 Appearances
He is called The Viper, and he has dominated the room in the WWE since his joining in the years of the early 2000s. Over 20 years have passed by so far for Orton. The iconic rivalries he shared are so many. But the greatest of all was the one against John Cena.

Orton has a record of 16 appearances in the Survivor Series, and out of those, at least one will mark him as the sole survivor in three consecutive years (2003-2005). Currently nursing an injury and thus sidelined, Orton has always been rated as one of the most consistent wrestlers in the WWE.
2. Shawn Michaels (Tied At) -17 Appearance
The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels, is one of the most memorable names in WWE history. He burst onto the scene in 1988 with a level of charisma and in-ring ability that dazzled the audience.
Seventeen Survivor Series appearances, including his win in the very first Elimination Chamber match, and an involvement in the infamous Montreal Screwjob, form part of the glorious history of Michaels. Now an ex-wrestler, Michaels plays his role in WWE as Senior Vice President of Talent Development and Creative, in charge of NXT.
Kane (tied) - 17 Appearances
Second in this regard is Kane- The Big Red Machine. Fiery and intimidating, Kane has produced some of the most unforgettable moments in Survivor Series history, like his iconic match against The Wyatt Families.
His contributions to WWE do not stop in the ring. After retiring, he took a public service career and is now Mayor of Knox County in Tennessee and re-elected for the second time in 2022.
1. The Undertaker- 18 Appearances
Number one is The Phenom, The Undertaker, who boasts an astounding 18 appearances in Survivor Series. The Undertaker's first event at Survivor Series 1990 was phenomenal at best and would henceforth mold the template for prodigious events associated with the show.
The Undertaker has made his last official appearance in 2020. Still, one could see that his effect is evident even with his short stint at WrestleMania 40, attaching nostalgia to the fans. The Undertaker's legacy on The Survivor Series is nothing less than evidence of his unmatched career to professional wrestling.
Since the inception of Survivor Series, careers have been made; and legends shine. So much so that notables such as The Undertaker, Randy Orton, and Shawn Michaels forever stamp their names onto this historic, must-watch event for wrestling fans around the world.
