Survivor Series: WarGames – Everything You Need to Know
For WWE fanatics who haven’t watched a match in months, here’s a complete guide to Survivor Series: WarGames, which will take place on Saturday at 7 p.m. ET from Petco Park in San Diego. This Premium Live Event (PLE) will be broadcast exclusively for subscribers of the ESPN Unlimited plan on the ESPN app, either directly or through a traditional television package.
What are WarGames battles?
Survivor Series has evolved since its inception. Previously, it consisted of elimination tag team matches with multiple wrestlers. Since 2022, Survivor Series has featured both men’s and women’s WarGames matches, which are contested between two rings surrounded by a giant, roofless steel cage. Two participants from each team of five people start the match, and a new member from each team enters at pre-set time intervals until all participants are in the ring and the match officially begins. Victory is achieved by pinfall or submission. The action tends to turn violent quickly.
Men’s WarGames Match
This year, the men’s WarGames match features Roman Reigns alongside his cousins, Jimmy and Jey Uso, forming an alliance with CM Punk, against a team led by Paul Heyman. Reigns’ team is completed by the Undisputed WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes. Egos will try to coexist for the common good, although Reigns has expressed his interest in challenging for Rhodes’ or Punk’s titles once the event is over.
Heyman’s team is led by Seth Rollins, alongside Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. Logan Paul has joined the group, and Drew McIntyre, although suspended, was included in the team thanks to a loophole in the WarGames contract. The fifth member of Heyman’s team is Brock Lesnar, who faced Punk and Rhodes on Raw, but Reigns appeared to even the odds.Los egos de gran tamaño intentarán coexistir por el bien común en el combate WarGames masculino de Survivor Series.
Women’s WarGames Match
The women’s match presents intense rivalries, highlighting the return of AJ Lee. Lee will face Becky Lynch, with whom she has had a personal rivalry. In addition, the match will include the Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) against their former teammate Iyo Sky. Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss will also participate in the event, facing Nia Jax and Lash Legend.
The loss led Lynch into a spiral. She accused referee Jessika Carr of being a CM Punk fan. She threatened legal action, calling Lee an unlicensed manager in the ring and claiming the match was “rigged”.AJ Lee competirá por segunda vez desde su regreso a la WWE después de una década fuera del ring.WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill will not be at Survivor Series, but Stephanie Vaquer will defend her title against Nikki Bella.

John Cena’s Last Appearance
Survivor Series is the last PLE for John Cena before his retirement match on December 13th. Cena will face Dominik Mysterio in a rematch for the title, with Mysterio enjoying trolling Cena before their title rematch.
Cena won the Intercontinental Championship on November 10th, thus completing the Grand Slam in his WWE career. In addition, a tournament is being held to determine who will face “The Last Real Champion” in his retirement match.
What to Expect at Survivor Series?
The key at Survivor Series will be the wrestlers’ ability to coexist, both in the women’s and men’s matches. The dynamic between Rhodes, Punk, and Reigns, united by a common enemy, will be crucial. In the end, the true survivors will be those who can put their egos aside.
