WWE is hitting the home stretch for 2026, and they are NOT messing around. Get this: Survivor Series, a cornerstone event since 1987, is giving us *both* WarGames AND the traditional five-on-five elimination tag match this year. After recent years swapped out the classic for WarGames, getting both is just unreal, and it’s all going down in November.
Survivor Series Goes Double or Nothing
Mark your calendars for November 28 in Houston, because Survivor Series is going to be absolute fire. We’ve got The Bloodline squaring off against 946 in a brutal WarGames match. If you love controlled chaos and pure brawling, this is your jam. But wait, there’s more! Cody Rhodes is captaining Team USA against Rey Mysterio’s Team Mexico in a classic Survivor Series match. Remember those epic five-on-five elimination tag team battles? They’re back, baby! This kind of double-header at a single event rarely happens, and fans have every right to be hyped.
Wrestlepalooza and Cena’s Big Return
Then, head Down Under on December 12 as the second annual Wrestlepalooza hits Perth, Australia. WWE has big dreams for this one, trying to make it a huge deal. Last year’s card was insane, with John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar for Cena’s retirement tour, plus AJ Lee teaming with CM Punk against Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch. If they bring half that energy for this year’s installment, Perth is gonna explode. Wrestlepalooza is clearly an event WWE wants to build into a global spectacle, and the card for the inaugural event set a sky-high bar.
The Inaugural John Cena Classic
And speaking of John Cena, the record-breaking WWE world champion isn’t done! Just two days after Wrestlepalooza, on December 14, he’s hosting the inaugural John Cena Classic in Orlando, Florida, at Walt Disney World. This exhibition tournament pits main roster superstars from Raw and SmackDown against emerging NXT talent. It’s a fantastic opportunity to see the next generation mix it up with the big dogs, and fans get to crown a men’s and women’s champion at the end of the night. Cena hosting the very first one just adds to the hype, promising a showcase of future stars and current legends.
So, there you have it, folks. WWE is closing out 2026 with a bang. Three massive events in quick succession, each with its own incredible stakes and unique flavor. From the dual main events at Survivor Series to the second Wrestlepalooza and the very first John Cena Classic, we’ve got a lot to look forward to as the year wraps up!
