Survivor Series (2014) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by WWE. It took place on November 23, 2014 at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri. The 28th event under the Survivor Series chronology, it was notable for the first appearance of former World Championship Wrestling (WCW) wrestler Sting in WWE, who had a long hold out from the day that he had signed with the company. Also, this was the first Survivor Series since 2001 to not feature a world championship match.
Eight matches took place at the event. The main event saw Team Cena defeat Team Authority in a 5-on-5 Survivor Series elimination match, with Dolph Ziggler being the lone survivor. Ziggler was the second wrestler to survive a 3-on-1 situation in a Survivor Series elimination match, eliminating Kane, Luke Harper and Seth Rollins. The only other person to survive a 3-on-1 situation was Ric Flair in 2006, when he survived Mikey, Kenny and Johnny, of The Spirit Squad. The event had 100,000 buys (excluding WWE Network views), down from the previous year's 177,000 buys.
The professional wrestling matches at Survivor Series featured professional wrestlers performing as characters in scripted events pre-determined by the hosting promotion, WWE. Storylines between the characters played out on WWE's primary television programs, Raw and SmackDown.
