WWE has announced a WarGames advantage match for Raw on Monday, Nov. 16, 2026: Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso against Carmelo Hayes and Cruz Montana of The 946. F4W Online says WWE announced it in a commercial that aired during SmackDown on Friday, Nov. 13. Fightful and eWrestlingNews report the same match. The winners earn the advantage for their side in the men's WarGames match at Survivor Series on Nov. 28. We did not see the commercial. This story is built from F4W, Fightful, eWrestlingNews and WWE.com's WarGames preview.

What the advantage is

F4W describes it this way: the winning team's next member enters the match first, which gives that side a numbers edge until the other team is allowed to bring in its next member and even things up. WWE has not published its own wording for the advantage in what we read. WWE.com's preview page describes the basic WarGames format. Two rings sit inside a steel cage, the match starts one-on-one, and a new competitor enters on a timer. That page says the first entrant arrives after five minutes and a new one comes in every three minutes after that, with the teams alternating.

Who is in the match

The Bloodline's five for Survivor Series are Roman Reigns, Jacob Fatu, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa, per Fightful and WWE.com. The 946 are Royce Keys, Bronco Nima, Carmelo Hayes, Cruz Montana and Lucien Price, per the same sources. Reigns challenged The 946 to the match on Raw on Nov. 9, per our results story. See our Raw results. WWE made the match official afterward. See our WarGames announcement story.

Montana joined The 946 on the Nov. 2 Raw by attacking Reigns. See our Nov. 2 Raw results.

The rest of Raw as announced

  • Women's Intercontinental Championship: Raquel Rodriguez (c) vs. IYO SKY. Adam Pearce set it on the Nov. 9 Raw, per our results story.
  • John Cena appears. F4W says he will reveal more John Cena Classic entrants. See our Classic entrants story.

F4W says it is the second-to-last Raw before Survivor Series. The card is not final. WWE has not said whether more matches will be added.

What we do not know

  • Whether WWE has published the match on its own site. We found it in outlet reports. WWE.com's Raw page, as we read it, still showed the Nov. 9 show.
  • How WWE will describe the advantage on air. We have only F4W's account of it.
  • Whether more matches will be added to Raw before Monday.
