It was the last WWE PPV to feature a Limp Bizkit song, which was "Build a Bridge".

The predominant match on the Raw brand was a traditional 5-on-5 Survivor Series match between Team Bischoff (Chris Jericho, Christian, Randy Orton, Scott Steiner and Mark Henry) and Team Austin (Shawn Michaels, Rob Van Dam, Booker T, Bubba Ray Dudley, and D-Von Dudley).

Team Bischoff won the match after Orton last eliminated Michaels, following interference from Batista.

Survivor Series is an annual gimmick pay-per-view (PPV), produced every November by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) since 1987.

[3][4][5] The event featured seven professional wrestling matches with outcomes predetermined by WWE script writers.

The matches featured wrestlers portraying their characters in planned storylines that took place before, during, and after the event.

At SummerSlam, Triple H and Goldberg were involved in the Elimination Chamber match for the World Heavyweight Championship.

[6] On the September 29 episode of Raw, Triple H made an announcement, offering a bounty of $100,000 to anyone who could successfully "take out" Goldberg.

[7] Many other people tried and failed to take him out including La Résistance, Mark Henry and Tommy Dreamer.

[8][9] It was during a World Heavyweight Championship match between Goldberg and Shawn Michaels on the October 20 episode of Raw, however, that he was taken out.

The other Co-General Manager of Raw, Stone Cold Steve Austin came to the ring, however, and announced that Goldberg would be back to face Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship at Survivor Series.

[12] On the November 10 episode of Raw, Goldberg looked set to beat Batista, but Triple H interfered, signaling a Disqualification.

[16] On the October 30 episode of SmackDown!, Heyman announced that he had given The Undertaker time off until Survivor Series, which made McMahon very unhappy.

Bischoff had control of the brand since July 15, 2002, but on the April 28 episode of Raw, he was forced to share his General Manager duties with Austin.

Austin promptly accepted the challenge, with Bischoff announcing the first two members of his team as Scott Steiner and Chris Jericho.

Later in the night, Booker T was announced as the first member of Austin's Survivor Series team.

[30] The first match of the event was the Survivor Series match with Team Angle (Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, John Cena, Hardcore Holly, and Bradshaw) against Team Lesnar (Brock Lesnar, The Big Show, Matt Morgan, Nathan Jones and A-Train).

Holly was eliminated and gets himself disqualified for pushing the referee while attacking Lesnar before the match started.

Molly performed a drop toe hold on Lita into an exposed turnbuckle and pinned her to retain the title.

Mid-way in the match, McMahon executed a Leap of Faith through a broadcast table on Kane.

In the end, Kane executed a Tombstone Piledriver on the floor on McMahon and threw him into the ambulance to win the match.

[30] The fifth match was the second Survivor Series match with Team Bischoff (Chris Jericho, Christian, Randy Orton, Scott Steiner and Mark Henry) against Team Austin (Shawn Michaels, Rob Van Dam, Booker T, Bubba Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley).

Henry was eliminated by Van Dam and The Dudley Boyz after a 3-D from Bubba Ray and D-Von and Five-Star Frog splash.

McMahon operated the front loader and dumped all the dirt from it to bury The Undertaker and win the match.

Chris Benoit would win the Royal Rumble match at the Royal Rumble and win the World Heavyweight Championship from Triple H in a triple threat match involving Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XX.

The other Survivor Series tag match was pretty good but the rest of the show was mediocre at best.
