New York: The road to WWE Survivor Series 2025 has taken an electrifying turn after a dramatic episode of Monday Night Raw on November 10, where fans witnessed an emotional final run for John Cena. The 17-time world champion defeated Dominik Mysterio to capture the Intercontinental Championship, marking one of the last major moments of his storied career. He later shared a heartfelt backstage moment with Cody Rhodes.
Things escalated when the Undisputed Champion came to the aid of CM Punk and Jey Uso, fending off an attack from Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, and Logan Paul, with Paul Heyman orchestrating the chaos. This confrontation led to William Regal officially announcing a WarGames match at Survivor Series, pitting Team Punk against The Vision.
Now, the WWE Universe is buzzing with one huge question:
Will Roman Reigns return to join CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, and Jey Uso inside WarGames on November 29 in San Diego?
Roman Reigns’ Status for Survivor Series 2025
Though Roman Reigns has not appeared on WWE TV since his loss to Bronson Reed at Crown Jewel, speculation about his comeback is stronger than ever. The biggest hint?
Reigns appears on the official Survivor Series 2025 promotional poster, strongly suggesting that The Tribal Chief is involved in one of the biggest PLEs of the year.
With two episodes of Raw and three of SmackDown left before Survivor Series, fans may see Reigns return soon — possibly to confirm his position in Team Punk for the WarGames match.
Why Roman Reigns May Join Team CM Punk
While Reigns’ star power undeniably boosts ticket sales and viewership, his involvement in WarGames goes far beyond marketing. The storyline has laid several compelling foundations for his return.
- Ongoing Rivalry With Paul Heyman
Roman Reigns’ fractured relationship with his former Wiseman remains one of WWE’s strongest narratives. Since Heyman’s betrayal at WrestleMania 40, Reigns has been hunting for revenge.
Paul Heyman now leads The Vision, and Reigns has already clashed with its enforcers — Breakker and Reed — in singles and tag team matches. Stepping into WarGames gives The Tribal Chief the perfect opportunity to strike back against his former ally turned greatest enemy.
- Family Loyalty to Jey Uso
Despite Jey Uso costing Roman Reigns his match at Crown Jewel Perth, family ties in WWE are rarely simple — and almost never broken.
Reigns siding with Jey would reinforce the long-running “Bloodline always remains” theme. Joining Team Punk would allow Reigns to fight in the same corner as his cousin once again, regardless of their turbulent past.
- The Common Enemy Factor
Paul Heyman has burned bridges with everyone — CM Punk, Roman Reigns, and even Seth Rollins. With The Vision attacking Punk and Jey repeatedly and casting doubt over Rhodes’ trust in Heyman, Reigns has every reason to stand alongside Punk’s team.
Sometimes in WWE, an enemy’s enemy becomes a powerful ally.
And in this case, Roman Reigns joining Team Punk feels like a natural – even inevitable – twist.
