The WWE decided to go back to the traditional format for Survivor Series in 1993, having mainly Survivor Series matches, and no title matches.
The night started with a four on four Survivor Series match which combined several feuds going on at the time. In the end the team of Razor Ramon, 1-2-3 Kid, Mr Perfect and Marty Janetty defeating the team of Diesel, Irwin R Shyster, Rick Martel and Adam Bomb. The match came down to 1-2-3 Kid and Janetty vs Rick Martel and Adam Bomb. The Kid pinned Martel with a sunset flip and Janetty then super kicked Adam Bom to win the match for his team with he and the Kid the Survivors.
The next match was originally scheduled to be a continuation in the Bret Hart/ Jerry Lawler rivalry, but Lawler was arrested on rape charges and so Shawn Michaels took his spot in the match. And it was the Hart Brothers (Bret, Owen, Bruce and Keith) who defeated Shawn Micheals and his knights with Owen the only Hart eliminated. Owen was very unhappy with Bret at the end of the match, blaming him for his elimination. He had a bit of a point as Bret had left the match for a period after getting thrown out of the ring. He returned only for Owen to run into him, allowing Michaels to pin him.
Next up in a strange match, the Heavenly Bodies (Bruce Prichard and Jimmy Del Ray) defeated the Rock n Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson) to win the Smokey Valley Wrestling Tag Team Titles.
This was followed by the team of four Doinks, which was actually The Bushwackers (Butch and Luke) and Men on a Mission (Mabel and Mo) defeating the team of Bam Bam Bigelow, Bastion Booger and the Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu). The doinks used mischief to win the comedy match, including a water fulled balloon and lots of other water gags. None of the Doinks were eliminated and all four of them pinned Bigelow to end the match. Doink then cuts a wacky promo on the titan tron taunting Bigelow. Can't even describe this. Kind of fun, very silly.
This brings us to the main event as the All-Americans Lex Luger, The Undertaker and the Steiner Brothers defeated The Foreign Fanatics (WWE Champion Yokozuna, Ludvig Borga, Quebecer Jacques and Crush). Borga screwed up something really badly in pinning Rick Steiner. Crush was tagged in and then distracted by: RANDY SAVAGE!!!! The Macho Man is here!!! He followed Savage out if the ring and was counted out. Luger took care of Jacques. Yokozuna then pinned Scott Steiner leaving us two on two. The Undertaker sat up after a Banzai drop and he and Yokozuna brawled out of the ring, both men were counted out. So it came down to Borga and Luger. They go back and forth briefly, but Luger gets on top, hits the running fore arm smash and wins the match for his team. USA wins. Then for some reason Santa Claus comes out to the ring to help Luger celebrate. Not a bad match really.
Well, this was just a filler event really. It set up some big matches down the road, but didn't resolve any of the issues going in. The in ring action was so-so and some of the gimmicks were farcical. Not a good PPV and one of the weaker ones the WWE had put on to that point.
