Single source, not confirmed. Heat 2/5 · Chatter
This is a rumor and it is not confirmed. eWrestlingNews says Dave Meltzer said on Wrestling Observer Radio that Cody Rhodes will be in the men's WarGames match at Survivor Series on Saturday, Nov. 28, in Houston. WWE has not said so.
The quick version
- Not confirmed by WWE, Rhodes or Meltzer's outlet in anything we read.
- Reliability: Single source, not confirmed. We read eWrestlingNews' summary, posted Nov. 11 at 08:19 UTC. We did not hear the radio show.
- Heat 2 of 5. It is one line in a summary, and the report does not say how Rhodes would fit.
What is being reported
eWrestlingNews (Thomas Lowson) wrote on Nov. 11 that Meltzer was asked on Wrestling Observer Radio about possible bloodshed in the WarGames match. It says he answered that Rhodes will be in the match. The site's own reading is that Rhodes would most likely join the Bloodline side. It says it is unclear whether Rhodes would work both matches or leave the Team USA match. Those are eWrestlingNews' questions, not Meltzer's words, as far as we can tell. We did not hear the audio and cannot check the wording.
What we know for certain
- WWE.com listed Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu against Royce Keys, Lucien Price, Bronco Nima, Carmelo Hayes and Cruz Montana as featured Superstars, per our confirmed story. That is five against five. WWE.com's page would not load for us today, so that list is from our earlier reading.
- Rhodes leads Team USA against Rey Mysterio's Team Mexico. CM Punk and Je'Von Evans are named, with two spots open, per F4W Online and ProWrestling.net. See our Raw results.
- Both matches are on the same show, Survivor Series: WarGames on Saturday, Nov. 28, at 6 PM ET per our earlier story.
What would confirm or kill it
A WWE announcement putting Rhodes in WarGames would confirm it. A full Bloodline lineup with no Rhodes on the night would kill it. Neither has happened. We ran a separate rumor on the men's WarGames match earlier. WWE has since made that match official.
Reported by: Dave Meltzer, Wrestling Observer Radio, as summarized by eWrestlingNews. We did not hear the show and did not contact WWE. Reliability: Single source, not confirmed.
