A major change is reportedly in the works for the upcoming WarGames match at WWE Survivor Series.
A major change could be coming to WWE Survivor Series 2026, with Cody Rhodes reportedly set to participate in the WarGames match between The Bloodline and The 946. On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said Rhodes would be involved in the WarGames contest, despite WWE having already announced him for a separate match at the November 28 premium live event.
The WarGames match is currently scheduled to feature Roman Reigns, The Usos, Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu taking on The 946, represented by Royce Keys, Bronco Nima, Lucien Price, Cruz Montana and Carmelo Hayes.
However, Meltzer’s comments suggest Rhodes could be added to the contest, potentially forcing WWE to change the advertised lineup. Rhodes has not officially been announced as a WarGames participant, and WWE has yet to confirm any alterations to either match.
Cody Rhodes’ WWE Survivor Series Plans Remain Unclear
Cody Rhodes is currently advertised as the captain of Team USA for a traditional five-on-five Survivor Series elimination match against Team Mexico.
The match will see Rhodes team with CM Punk, Je’Von Evans and two yet-to-be-announced competitors against a team captained by Rey Mysterio, which also includes Penta and three additional participants.
If Meltzer’s report proves accurate, it remains unclear whether Rhodes will compete in both matches or be removed from the traditional Survivor Series encounter to accommodate his involvement in WarGames.
Another question concerns which member of The Bloodline’s team could potentially make way for Rhodes. With Roman Reigns, The Usos, Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu already occupying all five positions, adding Rhodes would require a lineup adjustment unless WWE intends to change the match’s format.
Rhodes would seemingly be aligned with The Bloodline against The 946, although his specific role has not been established. For now, WWE continues to advertise Rhodes for the Team USA versus Team Mexico match, with no official confirmation that he will participate in WarGames. WWE Survivor Series 2026 is scheduled for November 28 in Houston, Texas.
