WWE Survivor Series: War Games 2025 will be one to watch for

WWE is preparing to reveal the direction for the WrestleMania 42 main event, and the first major hint will reportedly drop at Survivor Series: WarGames 2025. While the match will not be made official, sources indicate that the outcome and post-match direction of the men’s WarGames bout will strongly signal who will headline next year’s Showcase of the Immortals.

Insiders revealed that the interaction between CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, and Roman Reigns on the go-home episode of Raw was intentionally designed to tease what WWE is building toward. The tension between the three top stars was highlighted on commentary and backstage segments, setting the stage for what’s coming.

Backstage sources expect clear teases for WrestleMania 42

One report stated, “I was given the impression that the WrestleMania main event — on Saturday there will be teases that will help you figure out who the WrestleMania main event will be. Certainly on Monday, the tease on Monday was absolutely a tease for the main event which would lead you to believe it’s Roman Reigns challenging either Cody Rhodes or Punk.”

Ibou of Self Made supported this, noting that the direction will be unmistakable following Survivor Series and the week of WWE programming that follows.

He added, “I had been told by someone close to the situation about two weeks ago that the plan was to make the WrestleMania main event clear coming out of WarGames… similar to when they had Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns face off on the fall 2023 SmackDown season premiere.”

WWE Survivor Series WarGames team issues fuel speculation

The men’s WarGames match features an explosive lineup: Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, and Jimmy Uso against Drew McIntyre, Brock Lesnar’s Vision team, Logan Paul, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed. Their final confrontation on Raw saw Rhodes, Punk, and Reigns openly argue about who should lead the babyface squad.

Fans will remember that Roman vs. Cody headlined WrestleMania 39 and WrestleMania XL, while Roman and Punk last crossed paths in the main event of WrestleMania 41 Night 1. With all three men positioned as top contenders, the pieces appear to be aligning for a major WrestleMania showdown. WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2025 could be the night WWE subtly reveals that path.

Will WWE officially announce the WrestleMania 42 main event at Survivor Series?

No, but heavy storyline teases will reportedly make the direction clear.

Which Superstars are involved in the expected WrestleMania tease?

Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and CM Punk are central to the hinted storyline.
