The Survivor Series 2014 showcased one of the most thrilling Elimination Tag Team Matches in WWE history: Team Cena versus Team Authority. This high-stakes contest not only determined the fate of the Authority but also delivered dramatic moments that WWE fans still reminisce about.
The match featured Team Cena, led by John Cena, including Dolph Ziggler, Big Show, Erick Rowan, and Ryback. On the opposing side, Team Authority, captained by Seth Rollins, consisted of Kane, Luke Harper, Rusev, and Mark Henry. The stakes were monumental: if Team Cena won, the Authority would lose power, but if Team Authority triumphed, everyone on Team Cena except John Cena would be fired.
The atmosphere in the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri, was electric as the match began. Early eliminations set the tone, with Mark Henry shockingly taken out by Big Show within seconds. The action was fast-paced and chaotic, with alliances breaking and personal rivalries intensifying.
Midway through the match, Team Cena suffered a devastating betrayal when Big Show, shockingly, turned on his teammates by knocking out John Cena and deliberately walking away, causing his own elimination. This left Dolph Ziggler as the sole survivor for Team Cena against three remaining members of Team Authority.
What followed was an incredible display of resilience and skill by Ziggler. Against overwhelming odds, Ziggler managed to eliminate Kane and Luke Harper, narrowing the gap. The climax came when Ziggler faced Seth Rollins in a nail-biting finale. Just as Rollins appeared poised to secure victory for Team Authority, interference by Triple H and the referee threatened to steal the match.
However, the WWE Universe erupted when Sting made his dramatic WWE debut, confronting Triple H and delivering a decisive blow. This allowed Ziggler to pin Rollins, securing a monumental victory for Team Cena and ending the Authority’s reign.
The match exemplified high-stakes storytelling, shocking twists, and unforgettable moments, cementing its place in WWE history as one of the most iconic Survivor Series battles ever.
