Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar Just Turned Survivor Series Into Absolute Chaos
If you decided to skip this week’s Monday Night Raw because you thought, “Eh, it’s just a go-home show, how much can really happen?”—I honestly feel bad for you. You missed what might be the single most chaotic, fever-dream ending to a televised wrestling show we’ve seen in years.
WWE didn’t just tip their hand at Madison Square Garden; they flipped the whole table over. We knew the WarGames landscape was looking tense, but nobody—and I mean nobody—had “Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns return in the same segment” on their 2025 bingo card. Yet, here we are, staring down the barrel of a Survivor Series main event that looks more like a fantasy booking simulation gone wrong than a real match.
The Beast Incarnate Returns to His Old Hunting Grounds
Let’s set the stage. You have Team Punk & Rhodes facing off against Team Paul Heyman. Tensions are high, words are being exchanged, and the usual pre-PLE brawl breaks out. Standard operating procedure, right? The good guys (Cody and Punk) seem to have the momentum. It looked like a wrap. Then the static hit.
The moment Brock Lesnar’s music blared through MSG, the mood shifted from “excited” to “terrified.” But the real kicker wasn’t just that the Beast was back; it was where he aligned himself. Lesnar stormed the ring and immediately started dismantling Rhodes and Punk, revealing himself as the fifth member of Team Heyman.
Because of course he did. Despite everything that’s happened, seeing Lesnar back under the Heyman umbrella just feels… menacingly correct. He cleaned house with the kind of efficiency that makes you wonder if he’s actually a cyborg. It looked like Team Heyman had finally checkmated the opposition.
Roman Reigns Enters the Chat
Just when it seemed like the night was going to end with Lesnar standing tall over the broken bodies of WWE’s top babyfaces, the unthinkable happened. The Garden erupted for a second time, louder than the first, as the Tribal Chief made his return.
Roman Reigns walking out to save CM Punk and Cody Rhodes is a sentence that would have sounded insane two years ago. But after Heyman’s betrayal earlier this year and his alignment with Seth Rollins to form The Vision, Reigns has been on a warpath.
The face-off between Reigns and Lesnar was electric. You could practically feel the history radiating off them. But Reigns didn’t come to talk. One Superman Punch later, and the message was sent: Reigns is the fifth man for Team Rhodes.
A WarGames Match That Defies Logic
So, let’s recap the teams for Survivor Series, because looking at this lineup feels like a glitch in the matrix.
On one side, you have the “Avengers” of WWE: Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, and Roman Reigns. The amount of ego, history, and bad blood on that single team is enough to power a small city. Reigns and Punk on the same side? Reigns and Cody? It’s a powder keg waiting for a spark.
On the other side, Team Heyman is looking like a lineup of pure monsters: Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Logan Paul (because someone has to take the bumps), Drew McIntyre, and Brock Lesnar.
This isn’t just a match; it’s a car crash waiting to happen inside a steel cage.
What’s Next for Roman Reigns?
WWE isn’t letting us breathe before Survivor Series, either. It’s already been confirmed that both Lesnar and Reigns will be at next week’s Raw in Oklahoma City.
If you think they’re going to wait until San Diego to get their hands on each other again, you’re dreaming. The November 24th episode at the Paycom Center is likely going to be less of a wrestling show and more of a containment zone.
The big question heading into WarGames isn’t whether the match will be good—with this talent, it’s impossible for it to be bad. The question is whether Reigns can actually coexist with his teammates long enough to get the win. He’s the “Original Tribal Chief,” but he’s playing nice with guys who have spent the last few years trying to take his head off.
November 29 can’t get here fast enough. If Raw was any indication, Survivor Series is going to be absolute carnage, and I am here for every second of it.
