SmackDown delivered major developments for both Survivor Series WarGames matches, setting the stage for what is shaping up to be an unpredictable night in San Diego.

The closing moments of the show saw Drew McIntyre step forward and commit to The Vision after blindsiding Cody Rhodes. McIntyre confirmed his involvement by signing on with the Paul Heyman led group, giving the heel side a major boost.

Earlier in the night, Jimmy Uso was revealed as the newest addition to the babyface squad. That lineup currently features WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk, Jey Uso, and now Jimmy Uso. Each team still lists one vacant position unless WWE opts for a four on four format rather than the traditional five on five that has defined every men’s main roster WarGames match to date.

The women’s WarGames field also shifted. Charlotte Flair opened SmackDown by removing herself from the babyface lineup, explaining that she could not move past her ongoing issues with Rhea Ripley to stand beside her inside the cage. Ripley, Alexa Bliss, and IYO SKY now stand as the remaining babyface trio. Their opponents are Lash Legend, Nia Jax, Asuka, and Kairi Sane, who appear fully united headed into the event.

Survivor Series will be held at Petco Park in San Diego on Saturday, November 29.
