WWE Survivor Series 2025: The Vision secures victory with assistance from mystery man believed to be Seth Rollins

The WWE Survivor Series 2025 took place at San Diegos Petco Park on Saturday, setting a new attendance record for the flagship event. The night showcased the brutal double-cage WarGames structure with two mens and two womens matches, along with championship bouts.

Main Event: Mens WarGames

CM Punk and Cody Rhodes led a star-studded team alongside The Usos and Roman Reigns, facing The Vision Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed with Logan Paul, Drew McIntyre, and Brock Lesnar. The ten-man WarGames match ended in controversy when a masked wrestler, mimicking Seth Rollins moves, intervened. This allowed Breakker to spear Punk and secure the win for his team. While Breakker was the logical choice to shine, the interference undermined the impact of his victory.

Womens WarGames

Rhea Ripley captained her squad of Iyo Sky, Alexa Bliss, Charlotte Flair, and AJ Lee to defeat Nia Jax, Lash Legend, The Kabuki Warriors, and Becky Lynch. The match primarily highlighted the ongoing Lee-Lynch feud while giving Ripley and Flair moments to build on. Despite limited time for some wrestlers, it delivered more promising spots than the mens match.

Championship Matches

WWE Intercontinental Champion John Cena faced Dominik Mysterio. Despite a strong effort from Cena, Mysterio won thanks to a returning Liv Morgan, continuing the trend of overbooked finishes in Cena's farewell tour. Stephanie Vaquer successfully defended the Womens World Championship against Nikki Bella, though the bout felt secondary to the main card.

Key Takeaways

• WWE closed its PLE year with an underwhelming Survivor Series.
• The Vision appears directionless despite the main event push.
• WarGames should be reserved for storylines where the stipulation makes sense.
• Liv Morgans return overshadowed title changes.

Uncrowned Awards

Womens WarGames MVP: Becky Lynch, for connecting storylines and elevating her opponents despite minimal match time.

Best Spot: Roman Reigns spearing Brock Lesnar through a table while holding Jey Uso.

Match of the Night: Mens WarGames, for in-ring action despite a disappointing finish.

Full Card Results

• Mens WarGames Match: The Vision, Logan Paul, Drew McIntyre, Brock Lesnar defeated CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, The Usos, Roman Reigns
• Womens World Championship: Stephanie Vaquer (c.) defeated Nikki Bella
• Intercontinental Championship: Dominik Mysterio defeated John Cena (c.)
• Womens WarGames Match: Rhea Ripley, Iyo Sky, Alexa Bliss, Charlotte Flair, AJ Lee defeated Nia Jax, Lash Legend, The Kabuki Warriors, Becky Lynch

Event Summary

While the matches featured exciting spots and high-profile talent, the events storytelling faltered due to overbooked finishes and unnecessary interference. The WarGames concept needs to be used more selectively, as forcing it into every major match diminishes its impact. Overall, WWE Survivor Series 2025 felt like it happened rather than being a truly memorable event.

Overall Rating: 5/10
