San Diego, California – World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) is poised to deliver one of its signature annual events, Survivor Series: WarGames, this Saturday night, November 23, 2025, at Petco Park. The event marks the fourth consecutive year that the innovative WarGames format has headlined Survivor Series, promising high-stakes drama and unprecedented physicality within the confines of two steel cages and two rings. The card features two colossal WarGames matches – one for the men’s division and another for the women’s – alongside two pivotal championship encounters, setting the stage for significant shifts in the WWE landscape. The proceedings are scheduled to stream live on ESPN Unlimited, commencing at 7 p.m. ET.
The centerpiece of Survivor Series remains the WarGames matches, which will showcase a convergence of established legends and rising stars. The men’s WarGames match is expected to be the main event, featuring a star-studded lineup with profound implications for the world title picture. On one side, a formidable alliance comprises former world champions CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, and Roman Reigns, who reunites with his cousins, The Usos (Jey Uso & Jimmy Uso), forming a cohesive five-man unit. Their adversaries represent a strategic assembly orchestrated by Paul Heyman, headlined by the returning Brock Lesnar, who joins forces with Drew McIntyre and the burgeoning faction known as The Vision, featuring Logan Paul, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed.
The genesis of this explosive men’s WarGames encounter was notably impacted by unforeseen circumstances. Originally, Seth Rollins was reportedly slated for a prominent role, but a significant knee injury sustained at Crown Jewel in early November necessitated a swift recalibration of plans. Sources close to the situation indicate Rollins suffered a torn ACL during a championship defense, sidelining him indefinitely and forcing Heyman to pivot in his team construction. The Vision, a relatively new yet dominant trio, quickly aligned with the charismatic Logan Paul, establishing themselves as a formidable force. The addition of Drew McIntyre on November 14 was particularly strategic. McIntyre, facing a potential suspension from SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis for a recent string of aggressive, unsanctioned attacks, circumvented the disciplinary action by agreeing to join Heyman’s faction, reportedly exploiting a rarely used "roster protection clause" that prioritizes a main event participant’s availability. The final slots were filled by the surprise return of Brock Lesnar, aligning with his long-time associate Heyman, and the highly anticipated reunion of Roman Reigns with The Usos, rekindling the formidable presence of The Bloodline. In a crucial development on the final Monday Night Raw before Survivor Series, Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul secured a decisive victory over the Street Profits in a tag team contest, earning their team the critical numerical advantage, meaning one of their members will enter the WarGames structure first.
The women’s WarGames match is equally laden with unresolved rivalries and burgeoning alliances. Team Rhea Ripley features the current Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley, former Women’s Champion Iyo Sky, the reigning WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair, and the returning AJ Lee. They face a powerful collective comprising Nia Jax, Lash Legend, the formidable Kabuki Warriors (Asuka & Kairi Sane), and the iconic Becky Lynch.

The build-up to this contest has been characterized by shifting allegiances and escalating hostilities. Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky have been embroiled in a bitter feud with The Kabuki Warriors for several months, with their rivalry intensifying through multiple clashes at events such as Fastlane and various television tapings. Meanwhile, the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair, found themselves in a fresh, intense rivalry with the powerful new tandem of Nia Jax and Lash Legend following a controversial title defense. The dynamics of Team Ripley initially faced internal strain when Charlotte Flair briefly exited the team, citing a lack of trust in Rhea Ripley after a miscommunication during a recent six-woman tag match led to Flair’s team losing. However, cooler heads prevailed, and Flair eventually patched things up with Ripley, solidifying their ranks. The team was further bolstered by the unexpected, yet highly impactful, return of AJ Lee, a multi-time former Divas Champion, whose presence brings a blend of experience and unpredictability. On the opposing side, Nia Jax and Lash Legend, along with The Kabuki Warriors, strategically enlisted the veteran leadership and fierce persona of Becky Lynch, whose personal vendettas with several members of Ripley’s team made her a natural, albeit dangerous, fit. In a significant pre-match advantage bout on the final SmackDown preceding Survivor Series, Charlotte Flair defeated Asuka in a singles match, securing the numerical advantage for her team in the WarGames structure.
Beyond the WarGames spectacles, two championship matches hold significant weight on the Survivor Series card. John Cena, embarking on what he has termed his "retirement tour," will defend the Intercontinental Championship against Dominik Mysterio. Cena, a first-ballot WWE Hall of Famer and the first recognized 17-time world champion in WWE history (surpassing Ric Flair’s long-standing record), recently achieved Grand Slam Champion status by capturing the Intercontinental Title – the one major championship that had surprisingly eluded him throughout his illustrious two-decade career. On November 10, Cena defeated Dominik Mysterio in an impromptu match for the title, capitalizing on an open challenge Mysterio had issued, which quickly turned into a heated confrontation. This Survivor Series rematch grants Mysterio an opportunity to reclaim the title, an objective he has vocally pursued, often citing perceived injustices. Following this pivotal defense, Cena is slated to turn his attention to the winner of "The Last Time is Now tournament," a special competition designed to determine his final opponent in his storied career.
The Women’s World Championship will also be on the line as Stephanie Vaquer defends her title against the returning Nikki Bella. Vaquer, who ascended from NXT and has held the Women’s World Championship for over 150 days with several successful defenses, faces a personal and professional challenge. Nikki Bella, a WWE Hall of Famer, makes her first world title match appearance in nearly a decade, marking a dramatic shift in her career trajectory. Three months prior, Bella had a failed bid for the Women’s Intercontinental Title against Raquel Rodriguez, after which she shockingly turned villainous by attacking Vaquer from behind, signaling a new, more aggressive persona. Bella had previously mentored Vaquer during the champion’s inaugural year on the main roster, making her betrayal particularly impactful. Her villainous turn has set the stage for this high-stakes title defense, with Bella openly stating her desire to once again hold gold and prove her enduring dominance in the women’s division.
Petco Park, home of Major League Baseball’s San Diego Padres, is expected to host a near-capacity crowd, underscoring WWE’s growing appeal in major sports venues. With the intricate storylines, high-profile returns, and championship implications, Survivor Series: WarGames 2025 is poised to be a pivotal event that will undoubtedly reshape the competitive landscape of WWE heading into the new year.
