5 WWE stars who cannot afford to lose at Survivor Series: WarGames

WWE has managed to build a stacked card for this year's Survivor Series: WarGames Premium Live Event. The show is set to feature top stars like Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, Cody Rhodes and CM Punk. But tonight could be a game-changing night for many other names as well, who are in a spot where they cannot afford any more losses at a big stage.

Either they have been losing their credibility, or they have been on a losing streak in the company. But any further losses could hurt their momentum for good, especially as the year comes to an end. From a former Women's World Champion to one of the fastest rising names in the world of pro wrestling, several top stars are in a must-win situation tonight in Petco Park

Here are five WWE stars who cannot afford to lose at Survivor Series: WarGames-

#5. Dominik Mysterio

Dominik Mysterio will battle John Cena in a rematch for the Intercontinental Championship at Survivor Series tonight. Dirty Dom has already faced Cena twice, once in a singles match and once in a tag team showdown, where he lost both. Another defeat against the same name could miserably hurt Mysterio's momentum and raise questions about his credibility.

Besides, the 28-year-old is on a mission to prove himself against The Cenation Leader, making it a must-win situation for him. Also, Survivor Series: WarGames is taking place at Dominik Mysterio's hometown of San Diego. Therefore, Triple H has to give him a win against John Cena tonight to allow Mysterio to reclaim his gold and reinstate his momentum.

#4. Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch will compete in the Women's WarGames Match tonight at Survivor Series. The Man recently lost the Women's Intercontinental Championship on RAW. Besides, she has not won any match in WWE since Clash in Paris in August this year. Therefore, Lynch is desperately in need of a major victory to restore her momentum in the Stamford-based promotion.

AJ Lee, who will compete in the Women's WarGames, defeated Big Time Becks at Wrestlepalooza this year. She also became the reason for Becky Lynch's Women's Intercontinental Title loss. It has put The Man far behind AJ Lee, as the latter has had the upper hand so far. Therefore, Becky needs a win tonight at Survivor Series for herself and her team at any cost.

#3. Bron Breakker

Bron Breakker will compete in the Men's WarGames Match tonight at Survivor Series. The 28-year-old took charge as the de facto leader of The Vision after he betrayed Seth Rollins a few months ago. However, Breakker found himself lost in the shuffle since then, whereas he had to be booked as the top star. A loss in the WarGames tonight could derail his ongoing story on RAW.

Hence, Bron Breakker needs to stand tall tonight with a huge victory for his team. With a major win over stars like Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Cody Rhodes, it will portray the 28-year-old as a top-tier star. Such a victory at Survivor Series could be highly beneficial for him, especially if the company plans to put him in the main event scene of Monday Night RAW in the coming months.

#2. WWE Women's World Champion Stephanie Vaquer

Stephanie Vaquer will defend her Women's World Championship against Nikki Bella tonight. The two stars have been embroiled in a heated feud over the past week and Bella has vowed to dethrone Vaquer. However, La Primera cannot afford a loss at any cost, as dropping her title at this point will raise huge questions about what Triple H has planned for her in the company.

It has only been around 70 days since Stephanie Vaquer became the Women's World Champion. WWE has not done anything significant in her title run yet. If she retains her championship at Survivor Series: WarGames, the company could easily put other top stars against her in the coming weeks. Such a plan could push Vaquer as the potential face of the women's division for this era.

#1. Drew McIntyre needs to win at Survivor Series

Drew McIntyre had a lackluster year in WWE as he could not make any major impact with his storylines in 2025. The Scottish Warrior failed to beat Cody Rhodes on three separate occasions to become the Undisputed WWE Champion. It wouldn't be wrong to say that McIntyre's character has lost its credibility. Another loss at a PLE like Survivor Series would only make things worse for him.

The 40-year-old needs a big win to wind up his 2025. However, a loss would once again push him down the card, making things much more frustrating for the fans. Instead, Triple H needs to book Drew McIntyre as a dark horse in the Men's WarGames match tonight. Such an angle could help WWE rebuild Drew's character before putting him in a major storyline.
