- Matches
a. Main event (Survivor Series WarGames matches)
The main event will be the two traditional 5-on-5 Survivor Series WarGames team matches. The men's Survivor Series WarGames match features the battle between villainous Bloodline stable which consists of Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa and Bronson Reed, against the heroic squad consisting of Roman Reigns, Jimmy and Jey Uso, CM Punk and Sami Zayn.

b. Championship matches
In the United States Championship title match, reigning champion LA Knight will defend his title against the returning Shinsuke Nakamura. Nakamura last won the U.S. title during the 2019 Royal Rumble kickoff, his second reign lasted just 48 hours. Nakamura's first reign as U.S. champion was in between July to November 2018 after defeating Jeff Hardy in 2018 Extreme Rules, thus becoming the second Japanese wrestler to win the U.S. title after Kensuke Sasaki in 1995. Meanwhile, Knight is still in unbeaten form as the reigning U.S. champion and undefeated in his title defenses following his victory against Logan Paul in SummerSlam.
The Intercontinental Championship title will be decided in a triple-threat match after a huge announcement by WWE Raw general manager Adam Pearce on November 25th episode of Monday Night Raw, as reigning Intercontinental champion Bron Breakker will defend his title against the returning Sheamus and the Imperium's member Ludwig Kaiser in a no-holds-barred triple-threat intercontinental title fight.
While Kaiser battles for the coveted Intercontinental crown, his Imperium boss Gunther will also defend his World Heavyweight Championship title against former Judgement Day member Damian Priest in a singles match for the title.
