List of stars suggested by CM Punk for Team USA for WWE Survivor Series 2026

CM Punk had some suggestions for the team captain on SmackDown.

The traditional five-on-five Survivor Series match featuring Team USA and Team Mexico will take place at the 40th edition of Survivor Series. Cody Rhodes will lead Team USA, while WWE Hall of Famer and AAA GM Rey Mysterio will lead Team Mexico.

During the Crown Jewel fallout show on Raw, CM Punk and Je’Von Evans were added to Team USA, while Penta was added to Team Mexico.

This left two and three slots open in both teams, respectively, and on the November 13 edition of SmackDown, CM Punk had a suggestion for team captain Cody Rhodes regarding who should fill the remaining spots.

During a backstage segment on the show, Punk handed Cody a piece of paper containing his handwritten suggestions for the team. Following the show, Cody took to social media to reveal Punk’s list of recommendations, which can be seen below.

• Jason Vorhees (keep an open mind, loves America)
• Mr. America
• Bruce Springsteen (not Dickinson, NOT American)
