It’s almost that time of the year when WWE creative and superstars work tirelessly to present the final premium live event, Survivor Series: WarGames. This year will mark the 39th edition of the spectacle.
Apart from being the final major WWE event of the year, Survivor Series is known for hosting WarGames matches. Over the years, the promotion has developed a reputation for booking some big returns on the show.
Thanks for the submission!
That said, in this article, we will delve into the realms of possibilities and examine three unexpected returns for Survivor Series that may change the entire trajectory of the company.
#3. The Rock
The Rock hasn’t been seen on the Stamford-based promotion’s programming since Elimination Chamber 2025. John Cena sold his soul to The Brahma Bull and turned heel on Cody Rhodes on the show.
The People’s Champion has two massive storylines on hold, one with The American Nightmare and another with Roman Reigns. The Rock has made several unexpected returns, and he could pull off another surprise comeback soon.
The company will kick off the Road to WrestleMania 42 soon after Survivor Series. Hence, it could aim to gain momentum by booking Rocky to show up in San Diego. A potential confrontation between The Final Boss and Rhodes or Reigns could capture fans’ attention and build suspense.
#2. Stone Cold Steve Austin could return for a dream bout against CM Punk
Stone Cold Steve Austin came out of retirement at WrestleMania 38 Night One, where he wrestled in the main event against Kevin Owens. In recent years, The Texas Rattlesnake has made it clear that he could lace up his boots again for a compelling storyline.
Fans often draw similarities between Steve Austin and Punk’s rebellious gimmicks. However, they have yet to square off inside the squared circle. Now that The Best in the World is the World Heavyweight Champion and Stone Cold is seemingly ready to wrestle one more time, they could finally wrestle each other.
The Hall of Famer could shock the world with his potential return in San Diego just after the WarGames Match and have an intense face-off with The Best in the World. The possible angle could sow the seeds for a WrestleMania supermatch.
#1. WWE Hall of Famer Brie Bella could come back for a final run
Nikki Bella is currently on a run of a lifetime in WWE. She recently turned heel on Stephanie Vaquer and is set to challenge The Dark Angel for the Women’s World Championship at Survivor Series: WarGames 2025.
Brie Bella has also mentioned that she has one last run left in her. To make the storyline more chaotic, the Hall of Famer might return at WWE Survivor Series and help her twin beat Vaquer.
