WWE's Top Tweets, Instagram Photos and Viral Videos for Week of November 24

Ryan DilbertNov 28, 2014

Survivor Series flavored WWE's best social media of Thanksgiving week.

Sting showing up at the climax of the event, The Miz and his stunt double walking out of St. Louis with gold and Dolph Ziggler's comeback win inspired the top tweets, videos and Instagram photos of the WWE world. Survivor Series' past shockers made the list as well.

We begin, though, with Vader. WWE chose to highlight the former WCW champ in its latest 30 Seconds of Fury video.

The result is a rapid-fire look at one of the most athletic big men in wrestling history. In the compilation, we see Vader moonsault onto his foes and smash them alongside the head with his trademark forearms:

One of the most entertaining stretches of Vader's career was his feud with Sting. Those David and Goliath battles are a big part of The Stinger's legacy.

It's a legacy that up until Survivor Series did not include WWE. His arrival to close the show brought back memories of him chasing off the NWO with his baseball bat gripped tight in his hand.

It was a moment that WWE shared a glimpse of on Twitter, no caption needed:

We can now add Sting's debut to the list of the most surprising moments in Survivor Series history. It ranks up there with The Undertaker's first appearance and Paul Heyman turning on Brock Lesnar.

WWE compiled those and others in a fun countdown video:

Ask The Miz and he'll tell you that becoming tag team champs with Damien Mizdow should be ranked No. 1. Tweeting in character, he offered an amusingly oblivious take on the fans' reaction to Sting showing up in St. Louis:

Who knows how long he and Mizdow will be together. Mizdow's popularity is sure to make him jealous. The Miz's abuse is sure to lead to his stunt double turning on him.

For now, though, it's going to be a lot of fun to see these two wear the tag team titles. 

They showed off a bit of that, even with just a backstage shot of them on Instagram. WWE posted a look at them backstage, with Mizdow left to only pantomime holding gold:

Despite what The Miz might tell you, the two biggest headlines coming out of Survivor Series centered around Sting and Ziggler. 

The Showoff fended off Team Authority even though he was going up against three opponents, not counting Triple H. For a star fans have long thought deserved more of an opportunity, it was powerful to watch him thrive in that spot.

Ziggler treasured the opportunity and his fans. He tweeted a straight-from-the-gut message about his big night:

This is the kind of passion that helped build him such a strong fanbase. He's out there giving everything of himself each night, and it's clear with both this message and how hard he works to please the crowd.

Many fans want to see more moments like his Survivor Series triumph from him. They would probably also like to see him superkick the often-annoying announce team more often.

After Monday's Raw ended, the fans in attendance got to witness him clock Michael Cole with the move "Gentleman" Chris Adams made famous.

Thanks to Brock Lesnar Guy posting it on Instagram, we all got to see it:

Fans saw a more serious side of The Showoff thanks to WWE's Instagram. After being the sole survivor for Team Cena and after delivering one of his career peaks, he sat backstage soaking it all in.

The shot of him that WWE shared captures how much this all meant to him:

This kind of image is social media at its best. It allows fans to peek behind the curtain and see what their heroes do once they move off-screen.
