Survivor Series (1993) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by the World Wrestling Federation. It took place on November 24, 1993, at the Boston Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. The event was the seventh edition of the annual Survivor Series and combined the promotion's hallmark elimination tag matches with singles contests and championship defenses.

Overview and format
Survivor Series began in 1987 as a concept emphasizing team-based elimination rules. Typical matches on the card involved teams of four or five wrestlers; competitors were eliminated one by one by pinfall, submission, count-out, or disqualification until a single survivor or surviving team remained. The 1993 edition preserved that structure while also featuring non-elimination singles matches that tied into ongoing storylines on weekly television.
Card characteristics and presentation
The presentation reflected early 1990s arena production values: dramatized entrances, character-driven promos, and match psychology that prioritized storytelling within the constraints of televised time. Promoted as a major November event, the show drew regional attention in New England and made use of the Boston Garden's long history as a wrestling venue.
Context and legacy
As a late-season pay-per-view, Survivor Series (1993) served as a waypoint for developing rivalries and title pictures heading into the following year. While the elimination format defined the event's identity, the card also helped establish or advance angles that continued on television and at subsequent shows. For researchers and fans, the 1993 card provides useful examples of how the promotion balanced multi-person spectacles with one-on-one storytelling during this period.
