With Crown Jewel 2026 just days away, it won’t be long before WWE’s full undivided attention turns towards the 40th annual Survivor Series event from Houston, Texas.
The show will once again be bookended by the men’s and women’s WarGames matches, and we have already begun to get a clear picture of what direction these matches could be going.
Here are our predictions for the full WWE Survivor Series 2026 card:
Women’s WarGames – Chelsea Green, Tiffany Stratton, IYO SKY, Becky Lynch & Bayley vs. Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Roxanne Perez, Jade Cargill & Lyra Valkyria
Unlike the men’s match, trying to predict who will be competing in this year’s women’s WarGames is actually quite tricky to do.
Alliances have been forming in recent weeks which may give us a big clue regarding the direction WWE are going in for the match, but there are a number of spots on both the babyface and heel teams that feel like they could go to a number of different stars on the roster.
In recent weeks we have seen IYO SKY form an alliance with WWE Women’s Champion Chelsea Green and Ms. Money in the Bank Tiffany Stratton and come against The Judgment Day’s Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez & Roxanne Perez. This gives WWE the backbone of a WarGames match, but two spots would remain open on each team.
Becky Lynch is Liv Morgan’s biggest rival for the Women’s World Title so she should get a spot on team babyface. Jade Cargill attacked Bayley backstage during the November 2 WWE Raw, so that could be a feud we see brought into WarGames. Lyra Valkyria has history with Bayley and Becky Lynch so she would be a fun inclusion on the heel team, but that fifth spot feels completely wide open so it could be anyone.
Undisputed WWE Championship – Sami Zayn (c) vs. Cody Rhodes
With Roman Reigns preoccupied with WarGames, the Undisputed WWE Championship should be defended in Houston, and a number of potential challengers could be set to step up.
CM Punk, Kevin Owens, GUNTHER and Finn Balor have been sniffing around Zayn’s title in recent months, but the frontrunner for the next title shot has to be the winner of Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel.
Rhodes said himself on SmackDown that whoever wins will likely be next in line for WWE’s most coveted prize, and “The American Nightmare” is many’s favorite to win he and Orton’s Last Man Standing match this Saturday.
Oba Femi vs. Bron Breakker
The rivalry between Oba Femi and The Vision has gone cold since “The Ruler” knocked off Bronson Reed at Money in the Bank, but there’s still some unfinished business that has been left on the table.
A definitive winner was not crowned back when Oba Femi and Bron Breakker faced off back at Sunday Night’s Main Event. Now, of course this was probably done on purpose to avoid Breakker having to take a clean loss to Femi, but it still feels like something WWE should revisit.
WWE needs to keep Femi busy and involved in ongoing storylines until the road to WrestleMania 43 begins. But before he moves on to something else, he should definitely claim his spot as WWE’s “Next Big Thing” by beating Breakker.
Men’s WarGames – The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu & The Usos) vs. The 946 (Royce Keys, Cruz Montana, Carmelo Hayes & OTM)
Ever since The 946 burst onto the scene back in August, it has felt inevitable that they would heavily factor into WWE’s plans for WarGames.
Over the past month or so we have seen the group grow in numbers, inching closer and closer to having a full five man WarGames team at their disposal. Following the addition of Cruz Montana they now have that, while The Bloodline are still one man down due to Jacob Fatu’s continued absence.
While that’s the case now, we still have three more Raw’s until Survivor Series, so expect “The Samoan Werewolf” to make his return and complete the line-ups for this year’s men’s WarGames match.
