Given the level of talent and cult popularity on the DX team, it's no wonder that this was the first five-man Survivor Series team to sweep their opposition. The Philadelphia crowd also made their voices heard, and surprised the wrestling world in the pre-match promo by chanting for Punk during DX's catchphrases.

** The most unlikely example happened in 1994. The opening match was the Bad Guys (see NonIndicativeName above) vs. the Teamsters (Wrestling/ShawnMichaels[=/=][[Wrestling/KevinNash Diesel]][=/=]Wrestling/OwenHart[=/=]Jim Neidhart[=/=]Wrestling/JeffJarrett). Diesel had eliminated Davey Boy and the Headshrinkers, and the 1-2-3 Kid had been counted out, leaving Razor in the unenviable position of having to fight ''five guys'' all by himself. Then Shawn and Diesel started fighting and the entire heel team followed them, thus marking the one and only time in ''Survivor Series'' history where an ''entire team'' had been counted out.
