WWE Survivor Series is synonymous with The Undertaker, as this is the event where it all began for the Phenom. November 22, 1990, was the date Undertaker made his WWE debut at Survivor Series 1990. 30 years later, ironically, on November 22, 2020, The Undertaker marked his retirement from professional wrestling. Furthermore, Undertaker has been involved in some iconic moments at the November-exclusive PLE. The Undertaker has featured in some memorable matches at Survivor Series, but as great as he was, he was not exempt from contesting some stinkers at Survivor Series.

2025 marks 35 years since Undertaker’s WWE debut, and during Survivor Series season, Undertaker has a YouTube channel where wrestling fans can relive and revisit some of Undertaker’s matches.

Survivor Series has been kind to Undertaker over the years. He won his first WWE Championship at the event and participated in several memorable gimmick matches during the show’s history. He’s unbeaten in traditional Survivor Series elimination matches, and he’s competed in 18 matches overall. No one in WWE history has competed in more matches at Survivor Series than Undertaker, who boasts a healthy 13-5 win-loss record. We review five Undertaker matches at Survivor Series that are worth rewatching, and five that will leave you scratching your head.

10. Worst: The Undertaker Vs. Hulk Hogan – 1991

A year after his eerie debut, Undertaker was bidding to win his first WWE Championship. He challenged Hulk Hogan for the WWE Championship at Survivor Series 1991. This match was historic as it was the first singles match in the history of Survivor Series, and the first time that the coveted WWE Championship was defended at the event.

Undertaker incorporated a slow, methodical style at the time, and the match wasn’t great. The Hulkster showcased his resiliency by springing up to his feet immediately after Undertaker nailed him with a devastating Tombstone Piledriver. Undertaker’s manager, Paul Bearer, didn’t hesitate to get involved, as did Ric Flair. Ultimately, Undertaker captured his first WWE Championship after Flair brought a chair into the ring, and he Tombstoned Hogan onto it.
