The quick version

  • WWE.com's match previews make The Bloodline vs. The 946 (WarGames) and Liv Morgan (c) vs. Becky Lynch official for Survivor Series: WarGames on Saturday, Nov. 28, in Houston.
  • WWE.com lists 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. It does not call that the final lineup.
  • Our earlier WarGames stories were rumors. This one is confirmed by WWE's own site.

WWE has made two Survivor Series matches official on its own site. WWE.com has a preview for The Bloodline against The 946 in a WarGames match, dated Nov. 9, and another for Liv Morgan defending the Women's World Championship against Becky Lynch. Both matches were set on Raw on Monday, Nov. 9, in Greenville, S.C.

What WWE.com says

The WarGames preview calls it a "career-altering" match. It lists these featured Superstars: Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu for The Bloodline, and Royce Keys, Lucien Price, Bronco Nima, Carmelo Hayes and Cruz Montana for The 946. The preview text also names Jaida Parker as a 946 member, but she is not among the featured Superstars. POST Wrestling calls the five-on-five lists projected lineups, not announced ones.

WWE.com describes the rules this way. Two rings sit inside a steel cage. One member of each team starts. After five minutes a Superstar from one team enters, then another enters every three minutes, with the teams alternating. There are no disqualifications, so weapons are allowed. The match starts for real once everyone is in, and it ends by pinfall or submission.

The Women's World Championship preview says Raw General Manager Adam Pearce made Morgan vs. Lynch after Lynch backed IYO SKY against The Judgment Day and then issued a challenge. Fightful reports that Pearce told Morgan backstage. Wrestling Inc counts it as their ninth one-on-one meeting, with Lynch ahead 5-2-1. We have not checked that record.

The event

Survivor Series: WarGames is Saturday, Nov. 28, at Daikin Park in Houston. WWE.com lists it at 6 PM ET and says it streams on ESPN with the Unlimited Plan.

What is still open

  • Whether the five-on-five lists above are final.
  • A women's WarGames match. POST says one is expected to be booked in the coming weeks. WWE has not announced it.
  • The Team USA vs. Team Mexico match is separate and already has captains. See our Mysterio story.

For what happened on the show, see our Raw results. We ran the men's WarGames and Fatu's return as rumors before Monday, and the women's WarGames is still one.
