The quick version

  • Rey Mysterio introduced Rey Fenix as Team Mexico's newest member on SmackDown on Friday, Nov. 13. WWE's post on X, as embedded by eWrestlingNews and WrestleView, names Fenix the newest addition.
  • Team Mexico now has Mysterio as captain, Penta and Fenix. Team USA has captain Cody Rhodes and CM Punk, and Rhodes has invited Je'Von Evans.
  • The match is Team USA vs. Team Mexico at Survivor Series: WarGames on Saturday, Nov. 28, at Daikin Park in Houston.

Rey Mysterio introduced Rey Fenix as the newest member of Team Mexico on SmackDown on Friday, Nov. 13, 2026, per Wrestling Inc., eWrestlingNews and WrestleView's live report. WWE's own post on X named Fenix as the newest addition, according to eWrestlingNews and WrestleView, which both embedded it. We did not open the post ourselves. Fenix is the AAA Cruiserweight Champion.

How it happened

Earlier in the show, Mysterio told SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis he had a Team Mexico addition in mind, per Wrestling Inc. and WrestleView. Later, Cody Rhodes and CM Punk were watching the Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn segment backstage when Mysterio walked up and named Fenix. Wrestling Inc. says Fenix then spoke, saying it was an honor to step in the ring with them, and that he was doing it for himself, his country and his family. WrestleView says Punk told Rhodes they had recruiting to do, and handed him a slip of paper with suggestions.

Where both teams stand

The five-on-five match was made official on Raw on Nov. 9, with Rhodes leading Team USA and Mysterio leading Team Mexico, per Wrestling Inc. Punk offered to join Rhodes that night and Rhodes agreed. Mysterio invited Penta, who accepted, and Rhodes invited Je'Von Evans. Evans said he would not go easy on his tag partner Penta. See our Raw results.

That puts Team Mexico at three of five: Mysterio, Penta and Fenix. eWrestlingNews counts two open spots on each side. We read that as Evans filling the third Team USA place, but we found no on-air line that says he has accepted.

Fenix is already busy. He won the Intercontinental Title No. 1 contender's triple threat on the Nov. 9 Raw, and AAA has set a 12-man tournament to pick his next Cruiserweight Championship challenger, with the title match on Jan. 2, 2027. See our AAA tournament story. The Team Mexico match comes first, on Nov. 28.

What we do not know

  • Who fills the last two places on each team. Rhodes has said he has names in mind, per Wrestling Inc.
  • Whether Evans has accepted a Team USA spot on air.
  • Whether WWE has posted a full roster for the match. We did not find one.
