WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio announced on "What's Your Story?" with Stephanie McMahon that a traditional five-on-five Survivor Series elimination match will take place on November 28, 2026, in Houston, pitting Team USA against Team Mexico. Mysterio said he discussed the concept with WWE officials Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis, though he has not confirmed whether he will compete. The match would be the first traditional Survivor Series elimination bout since 2021, with WarGames also expected on the card.
Predicted Team USA
United States Champion Trick Williams is seen as the natural captain after regaining the title at Sunday Night's Main Event in September. Bron Breakker and Austin Theory, the reigning World Tag Team Champions as part of The Vision, bring existing chemistry and a rivalry with Penta and Je'Von Evans. Dominik Mysterio, born in San Diego, would face his father across the ring, escalating their feud after Rey cost him the AAA Mega Championship rematch at Heroes Inmortales. Chad Gable, a former Olympian in Greco-Roman wrestling, adds legitimacy and dramatic tension given his recent attempts to make amends with luchadores he previously disrespected as El Grande Americano.
Predicted Team Mexico
Rey Mysterio would captain the squad in what could be one of his final major matches, with reports suggesting 2027 as his retirement year. Penta, the current Money in the Bank briefcase holder, brings a ready-made feud with Breakker and Theory and potential cash-in intrigue. Dragon Lee offers speed and chemistry with Penta after teaming on Raw. Rey Fenix, the reigning AAA World Cruiserweight Champion, would reunite the Lucha Brothers on the grand stage. Mr. Iguana, one of AAA's most popular stars, would represent the promotion's homegrown talent following WWE's partnership with AAA.
