WWE Survivor Series is one of the major professional wrestling pay-per-view events produced by World Wrestling Entertainment. There have been 19 Survivor Series events starting from 1987. Some fans of the WWE call it one of the 'Big Four', as it was one of the original four annual WWE pay per views, and one of the four that bring together both the Raw and Smackdown! brands onto the same card, something that hasn't been true of the remaining pay per views of the year since 2003.

The original concept for the Survivor Series was to have an annual pay per view event that focused on tag team wrestling. It was originally created to be the "Thanksgiving event" as the first four Survivor Series events took place on Thanksgiving Day in November. Notable wrestlers the Undertaker, the Rock and Kurt Angle all made their WWE debut at Survivor Series.

The event is usually characterized by having four on four (or sometimes five on five) tag-team elimination matches. These matches are generally referred to simply as "Survivor Series Matches". The 1987-1991, 1993-1997 Survivor Series events featured Survivor Series style matches. The 1992 event had no elimination matches, but featured the first WWF casket match. The 1998 edition featured an elimination tournmanet for the WWF championship, not seen since WrestleMania IV. The 2002 Survivor Series also featured no Survivor Series Matches, but instead had the debut of the Elimination Chamber match.

Survivor Series is the second longest running pay-per-view event in WWE history, behind WrestleMania. The first Survivor Series, held in 1987, came on the heels of the incredible success of WrestleMania III, as the WWF began to see the lucrative potential of the pay-per-view market.

Survivor Series is often referred to as the All-Star Game of professional wrestling, where the most elite of two divisions go head-to-head.

In 2006, Survivor Series celebrates its 20th anniversary.
