Survivor Series (1994) - Aftermath

Aftermath

Three days after Survivor Series, Bob Backlund faced Diesel in a title defense. Diesel won the match in eight seconds to become the new WWF Champion. Backlund's feud with Bret Hart continued, and the two had a rematch in an "I Quit" match. Hart won the match by using the crossface chickenwing to make Backlund concede defeat.

A tournament was held to determine the new WWF Tag Team Champions. The 1-2-3 Kid and Bob Holly won the title at Royal Rumble 1995 but dropped the belts the following night to The Smoking Gunns.

Diesel and Shawn Michaels began a feud as a result of the events at Survivor Series. After Michaels won a WWF Championship match at WrestleMania XI by winning the 1995 Royal Rumble match, he faced his former bodyguard for the title. Diesel won the match after Sid, Michaels' new bodyguard, accidentally distracted the referee. Diesel offered Michaels a rematch, and Michaels told Sid that his services would not be required during the rematch. Sid attacked Michaels, and Diesel came to Michaels' defense. This attack caused Michaels to turn face, and he and Diesel resumed their friendship and won the WWF Tag Team Championship later in 1995.

Lex Luger's feud with the Million Dollar Corporation did not continue, as the Corporation targeted The Undertaker. The Undertaker spent most of the following year feuding with the Corporation, as he faced IRS at the 1995 Royal Rumble, King Kong Bundy at WrestleMania XI, and Kama at SummerSlam 1995. Luger was placed in a tag team with Davey Boy Smith known as The Allied Powers, but he left the WWF for rival promotion World Championship Wrestling the following year.

Yokozuna did not regain his main event status after Survivor Series. After taking some time off, he made a surprise return at WrestleMania XI as Owen Hart's partner in a tag team match against The Smoking Gunns, the champions. Yokozuna and Hart won the WWF Tag Team Championship, and Owen's feud with Bret was dropped. The brothers eventually reunited in 1997 to form The Hart Foundation, a stable that also included Davey Boy Smith and Jim Neidhart.
