Petco Park, San Diego, California
Attendance: 46,016 (Record-Breaking)

🔥 OPENING THOUGHTS

Survivor Series 2025 is officially in the books, and despite the online reaction machine launching into its usual outrage cycle, I will say it clearly: this was a very strong PLE. Not flawless, not the top show of the year, but absolutely nowhere near the doom and gloom some fans are claiming.

This was a stadium show that felt important. Petco Park was stunning from the first drone shot. A double ring glowing under the California sunset, 46 thousand fans roaring across an open-air baseball cathedral, and War Pigs tearing through the speakers created an atmosphere that felt worthy of a November classic.

This PLE mattered.
Cena’s final Survivor Series.
Bron Breakker taking a career leap.
The women delivering a chaotic, star-filled WarGames opener.
A main event that tore open multiple WrestleMania pathways.
A mystery attacker cliffhanger that did its job and did it well.

Survivor Series continues to evolve into a modern stadium tentpole, and this night pushed that identity forward.

🔥 WOMEN’S WARGAMES MATCH
Team Rhea vs Team Asuka
Winners: Team Rhea (AJ Lee submits Becky Lynch)
Match Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was a chaotic, fast, star-powered opening that delivered exactly what you want out of a women’s WarGames match. It was energetic, creative, and packed with character moments that popped the stadium.

Key positives that stood out in a big way:

AJ Lee’s return inside the cage felt massive.
Her presence alone elevated the match and shifted the crowd energy upward from the moment she slid in.

Iyo Sky remains the standard for creative insanity in WarGames.
The trash-can Swanton is now her annual tradition, and the stadium loved every second of it.

Rhea Ripley wrestling with a broken face behind a Terrifier mask created one of the best visuals of the night.
Instantly iconic.

Asuka’s mist misfire into Lash Legend was perfectly timed.
A smart turning point that added layers and comedy without losing stakes.

Alexa Bliss had her best overall performance in years.
Confident, crisp, aggressive, and energized by being in a real fight again.

Charlotte Flair’s athleticism reminded everyone exactly why she is still a generational performer.

Was the match perfect? No.
The heel team could have used a stronger middle stretch to increase drama. But as an opener, it was absolutely the right tone setter. Great pace, great stars, great moments.

MrTeshk Grade: B+

🔥 JOHN CENA’S FINAL PLE MATCH
Intercontinental Championship
John Cena (c) vs Dominik Mysterio (with Judgment Day and Liv Morgan)
Winner: Dominik Mysterio (NEW Champion)
Match Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐¼

This was pure WWE emotional storytelling at its finest. When Cena decides he wants to take you on a journey, the entire stadium follows.

Petco Park worshipped him.
The Padres-themed gear was an inspired touch.
The Thank You Cena chants rolled like waves.

The match itself was controlled chaos in the best way:

Dom’s classic coward heel antics.
A fake shoulder injury that fooled half the crowd.
Raquel and Roxanne sneaking in finishers behind the ref’s back.
The referee refusing to count because of Dom’s phony injury.
Judgment Day swarming like hornets.
Cena fighting everyone off like a superhero in the final chapter of a comic book.

Then came the moment.

Liv Morgan returned.
The building exploded.
Then Liv crushed Cena with betrayal.
Dom pinned him to reclaim the IC Title.

A perfect finish.
A perfect story.
A perfect way for Cena to bow out one final time on a PLE stage.

🔥 WOMEN’S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
Stephanie Vaquer (c) vs Nikki Bella
Winner: Stephanie Vaquer
Match Rating: ⭐⭐⭐

This match is catching heat online for all the wrong reasons. Was the feud red hot? No. Was the crowd coming down after Cena’s emotional exit? Absolutely. But bell to bell, this was a clean, well-paced, technically strong championship match that did exactly what it needed to.

Vaquer continues to look every bit like a world champion. She is polished, composed, and deadly smooth between the ropes. Nikki Bella came to work, moved well, and brought real presence to a match she had every reason to mail in. Instead, she showed up and proved she still belongs in major spots.

The final sequence was crisp, and the Corkscrew Splash finish looked fantastic.

This was not a show stealer, but it was a proper title defense presented with respect and professionalism.

MrTeshk Grade: B

🔥 MEN’S WARGAMES MATCH
CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso
vs
Team Heyman (Brock Lesnar, Bron Breakker, Logan Paul, Bronson Reed, Drew McIntyre)
Winners: Team Heyman (Bron Breakker pins CM Punk)
Match Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐¼

This main event absolutely delivered a stadium-level WarGames spectacle. It was violent, dramatic, star-filled, and overflowing with WrestleMania implications.

Some of the biggest highlights:

Punk starting the match was poetry.
Drama literally follows the guy into the cage.

Yes, he bled buckets again.

Cody climbing over the cage to enter instead of using the door created the exact kind of Rhodes family energy this match needed.

Bron Breakker looked like a weapon created in a lab.

Logan Paul continues to be unbelievable at generating heat.
He looks more natural in big match chaos every month.

Bronson Reed hitting triple Tsunamis got one of the biggest non-return pops of the night.

Jey Uso entering gave the match a mid-section boost that changed the crowd energy instantly.

Brock Lesnar entering as a wrecking ball was perfect.

Roman Reigns reminding everyone he can still walk into a fight and author chaos with Spears and Superman Punches through tables was a welcome sight.

And then… the moment.

A hooded figure.
A stomp.
A superkick.
CM Punk laid out.
Bron Breakker Spear.
One. Two. Three.
Bron Breakker pins CM Punk in a stadium main event.

This is how you elevate someone in one night.

The post match stare-downs between Roman, Punk, and Cody had the internet fantasy booking WrestleMania before the credits even rolled.

A big-time, layered main event that absolutely hit.

By MrTeshk - Straight Shoot Unfiltered

From emotional farewells to all-out cage warfare, this week across RAW, SmackDown, and Survivor Series was everything fans live for. Chaos, legacy, betrayal, and a few defining moments that will shape WWE’s road to WrestleMania. Here are the five that stood above the rest.

💥 1. Bron Breakker Pins CM Punk Inside WarGames
The moment that made a monster. Bron Breakker speared CM Punk out of his boots and pinned the World Heavyweight Champion in the center of the cage. That one image — Breakker standing tall with Heyman’s crew behind him — will live on.

Why it hit:

This was more than a WarGames win. It was a statement that the new generation is coming — and they are not waiting for permission.

🎬 2. John Cena’s Final PLE Match – and Dirty Dom Steals It
Emotion, nostalgia, and the perfect twist. Cena’s farewell in Padres-inspired gear had fans chanting through tears. Then WWE flipped it with classic sports-entertainment chaos: ref bump, fake injury, and Liv Morgan’s shocking low blow before Dom’s Frog Splash sealed the win.

Why it hit:

From RAW’s build to that final three-count, this story had weight and execution that felt timeless.

👑 3. AJ Lee Lights Up Women’s WarGames
A comeback that redefined the division. AJ Lee did not just return — she owned the cage. From her fiery entrance to locking Becky Lynch in the Black Widow for the win, AJ proved she still sets the standard.

Why it hit:

It was poetic, chaotic, and emotional all at once — everything WarGames should be.

⚡ 4. Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes & CM Punk: The Silent Triangle
Three men, zero words, one future collision. After WarGames, Roman helping Punk to his feet and trading that quiet, tense stare with Cody said more than a promo ever could.

Why it hit:

No spears, no finishers — just that look. The kind that echoes all the way to April.

🔥 5. Liv Morgan’s Return Shakes Up Everything
Chaos queen, fully unleashed. Liv’s return at Survivor Series was the spark heard across every brand. Aligning with Dominik, attacking Cena, and walking out with that twisted smile gave her instant relevance.

Why it hit:

Liv’s return was shocking, layered, and perfectly timed — the kind of jolt WWE needed to close November with fireworks.

☀️ Straight Shoot Summary
Best In-Ring: Bron Breakker pins CM Punk in WarGames
Most Emotional: John Cena’s farewell and Liv’s betrayal
Biggest Power Move: Drew McIntyre joining The Vision last week now pays off in full
Women’s Scene: AJ Lee’s WarGames heroics reignite an entire division
Overall Mood: WWE is peaking with purpose — chaos organized, emotion real, stakes rising

Final Word: WarGames changed careers, Cena’s goodbye broke hearts, and Liv Morgan turned the entire chessboard upside down. The road to 2026 just got wild — and this week proved that every show matters again.

By Darrion Axel - Straight Shoot Unfiltered

Wrestling lives in a strange space. Half sport, half cinema, always blurring reality whenever it suits the moment. But every now and then, an incident happens that forces fans to ask the real question beneath the spectacle: where is the line?

After WarGames, Paul Heyman found himself swarmed by fans while attempting to exit the arena. Security dragged their feet, the crowd closed in, and for a few tense seconds, it was unclear whether the legendary Wiseman was caught in kayfabe chaos or a genuinely dangerous situation. Depending on who you ask, Heyman sold it like a master storyteller… or he was legitimately rattled and none too happy with the people whose job is to keep him safe.

And that is where the debate begins.

On one hand, Heyman has spent forty years turning danger into art. ECW crowds threw chairs, beer, fists, even whole trays of concessions. Heyman has lived through invasions, riots, and more near brawls than most wrestlers. So when he raised his voice, barked for order, and demanded security get control, some fans wondered if it was all part of the theater.

On the other hand… we have recent history to consider.

Remember France.
Rhea Ripley was mobbed so badly outside a hotel that she had to throw her bags and sprint to the team bus. Security failed. Fans ignored boundaries. She later said she genuinely feared for her safety. It was a reminder that even the biggest stars can find themselves seconds away from disaster when crowds forget where the show ends and real life begins.

So when Heyman shouted for security, was he in character or in crisis?
Were fans too aggressive or simply caught up in the moment?
Was security slow or simply overwhelmed?
Or is this just another case of WWE letting crowd engagement get a little too close for comfort?

Here is the split online right now:

FAIR:
Heyman is a heat magnet. Any time he steps into a hallway full of fans, chaos is expected. He leaned into it, elevated the moment, and made the Bloodline story feel more volatile than ever.

FOUL:
There is a difference between heat and hazard. Getting swarmed is not part of the job description. Security has one job, and if a 58 year old man who walks with a limp is yelling for help, that is not kayfabe, that is a failure.

Some fans say the aftermath only built the legend of Paul Heyman even more.
Others say this was WWE ignoring a pattern. Too many close calls. Too many “fans” crossing lines, waiting for selfies, autographs, or physical contact at the wrong times.

And if you look closely, the Heyman moment rhymes with a worrying trend.
Public spaces. Crowds that get too bold. A lack of control.
Ask Rhea. Ask Rey Mysterio. Ask Liv Morgan. Ask Seth Rollins, who once got tackled by a fan sprinting out of the stands.

So now the question becomes:

Was this moment a powerful bit of wrestling theatre… or a sign that WWE crowds are crossing into dangerous territory and security is not keeping up?

Darrion is leaving this one with the people.
Fair or foul?
Kayfabe, coincidence, or complete security failure?

The conversation is yours.
