Summary

– The event closes out WWE’s 2025 calendar with major title bouts and two WarGames matches
WWE has officially kicked off stage construction for Survivor Series WarGames 2025 at San Diego’s Petco Park. The upcoming Premium Live Event, set for Saturday, November 29, will close out the year in grand fashion with one of WWE’s most stacked cards yet.
Early footage shared by fans from the stadium balcony shows major work underway. Massive lighting rigs, entrance structures, and the signature double-cage setup are being assembled across the open-roof ballpark. The expansive outdoor venue promises a cinematic atmosphere unlike traditional arena shows, reminiscent of WrestleMania’s larger productions.
Survivor Series: WarGames marks the 39th edition of WWE’s iconic year-end event, featuring superstars from both Raw and SmackDown. Headlining the card will be two WarGames bouts, one featuring CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, and The Usos. At the same time, the women’s division will see Rhea Ripley, AJ Lee, Charlotte Flair, Iyo Sky, and Alexa Bliss take on Becky Lynch, Nia Jax, Lash Legend, and The Kabuki Warriors.
Additional matches include John Cena defending the Intercontinental Championship against Dominik Mysterio in his final WWE PLE appearance, and Stephanie Vaquer putting the Women’s World Title on the line against Nikki Bella.
With five days remaining, anticipation is building as WWE prepares to transform Petco Park into a war zone for the last major show of the year.
