WWE Survivor Series WarGames 2025 Match Card Predictions After SNME 41 Results
After an eventful edition of Saturday Night's Main Event, WWE is en route to its last premium live event of 2025.
SNME can be hit or miss because it often resembles a glorified house show with high production values. However, four big title matches and a vacant prize guaranteed something newsworthy would come out of the event this time.
To that end, we have two new champions after Jade Cargill finally dethroned Tiffany Stratton, and CM Punk defeated Jey Uso to avenge his loss at SummerSlam. The latter will likely play into the lead-up to the men's WarGames match, with The Vision looming.

Unforeseen events have forced the company to alter its initial plans. Still, there are four more weeks to adjust before Survivor Series takes over Petco Park in San Diego on Nov. 29.
These are predictions for this year's card following the events of Saturday Night's Main Event 41.
Women's WarGames Match
This year's women's WarGames match would feature Asuka, Kairi Sane, Becky Lynch, Roxanne Perez, and Raquel Rodriguez vs. Iyo Sky, Rhea Ripley, AJ Lee, Bayley, and Lyra Valkyria.
The Kabuki Warriors have unfinished business with Ripley and Sky, and they've set their sights on the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. So, it's only right that the Japanese duo would align with the former champions and Lynch.
On the other side, Bayley has a common enemy in Asuka and Sane after they attempted to attack Valkyria during the closing moments of the latest episode of Raw. There isn't a strong overarching story this year, but there are enough logical reasons to assemble both teams.
Lee may be a curveball for the babyface team, but this would be a fitting spot for her to reemerge after her return to WWE earlier this year. Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss could also be an option.
John Cena vs. Dominik Mysterio
Survivor Series WarGames will be John Cena's final appearance on a premium live event this year.
The show will mark the penultimate stop on his farewell tour before he takes his last bow during the Dec. 13 edition of Saturday Night's Main Event in Washington, D.C. As such, WWE has announced a 16-man tournament to determine his final opponent.
Nevertheless, his dance card at the "Big Four" PLE is still wide open, and Cena has never won the Intercontinental Championship. So, it would make perfect sense for him to challenge Dominik Mysterio and attempt to add another achievement to his Hall of Fame-worthy list of accolades.
Mysterio successfully defended the belt against Penta and Rusev, and now he's all that stands in the way of Cena retiring as a Grand Slam champion.
If the 48-year-old manages to win, it would add even more stakes to the upcoming tournament because the winner would also earn a shot at the IC title.
Men's WarGames Match
Obviously, Seth Rollins' injury forced WWE to change direction with The Vision and the world heavyweight title, but it will likely have a big impact on this year's men's WarGames match too.
The Vision was the most dominant heel faction in the company, making them the obvious catalyst for the stipulation match. Although Paul Heyman and his pupils will likely still take part, the creative team has the unenviable task of replacing Rollins this late in the build.
As of now, CM Punk, Roman Reigns, The Usos, Cody Rhodes vs. Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Drew McIntyre, Brock Lesnar, and Austin Theory is the most likely lineup.
Theory was reportedly in discussion to become a member of The Vision, and their team will need one more member. According to WrestleVotes, "Sources indicate there are still voices within the company pushing to keep Austin Theory involved in creative plans, even after the recent shuffling caused by Seth Rollins' injury."
McIntyre isn't finished with Rhodes after the controversial finish of their Wrestlepalooza rematch, where The American Nightmare DDT'ed him onto his championship belt to gain the upper hand. There is also no love lost between Punk and The Bloodline, so he would jump at the chance for revenge.
Meanwhile, Breakker was surprisingly quiet over the weekend after his bid to claim his mentor's mantle following Crown Jewel. Expect him and Reed to set their sights on the new world heavyweight champion and anyone who gets in their way.
Heyman could also easily call in a favor from Lesnar, who has a history with Punk, Reigns, and Rhodes. It will be interesting to see how Jey Uso factors into this storyline after a deflating loss and growing tension with his twin brother.
