WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2025 event turned out to be a top-notch affair. The Vision scored a victory over Cody Rhodes' and CM Punk's babyface side in the WarGames match. In the women's WarGames contest, Rhea Ripley's team managed to beat Nia Jax's heel side.

On the other hand, John Cena lost his WWE Intercontinental Championship back to Dominik Mysterio, while Nikki Bella failed her chance to win the WWE Women's World Championship from Stephanie Vaquer.

In this listicle, we will discuss seven winners and losers from Survivor Series: WarGames 2025.

WINNERS

#7 Bron Breakker

Bron Breakker came out as one of the biggest winners at Survivor Series. The Badass was the one who gave a devastating Spear to CM Punk and pinned him to win the match for his side.

While it was expected that Brock Lesnar would do the pinning on either Cody Rhodes or CM Punk, the company chose Breakker to do the job. The Badass also remained a highlight in the match, as he opened the match with CM Punk. Even though Breakker got busted open during the first five minutes of the match, he gave a tough fight to Punk in the first five minutes, thus establishing his supremacy as one of the most skilled superstars in WWE today.

#6 Brock Lesnar

The Beast turned out to be the second major winner of the night. In fact, it won't be wrong to even say that Brock dominated the entire WarGames match. He was the second last entrant just before Roman Reigns, and ever since he entered the ring, Lesnar went after the opposite team. He gave multiple Suplexes to Jey Uso, Cody Rhodes and CM Punk. He later slammed CM Punk and Cody Rhodes with an F5.

And then he exited the ring before Roman Reigns even entered the contest. Lesnar neutralised The OTC1 even before the bell rang for the match to officially start. He put Reigns with an F5 on the announce table, and then carried him inside the ring.

In essence, Brock Lesnar smashed all those rumours to the wall, which claimed that Lesnar couldn't wrestle anymore. With this match, he might as well have hinted at yet another run as the WWE Champion once again.

#5 Dominik Mysterio

Dominik Mysterio got back to his winning ways at Survivor Series. The 28-year-old superstar somehow managed to beat John Cena to reclaim his WWE Intercontinental Championship. Although it took the entire Judgment Day stable to outsmart Cena, Dominik still managed to walk out with a win.

Liv Morgan played the biggest role in making Dominik Mysterio one of the biggest winners of the night. The Miracle Kid returned in the closing moments of the match. At first, it appeared that she had come out to turn on Dominik, and she did so when she punched Dom on his face. She later went and hugged Cena, and it appeared that Liv Morgan had officially turned babyface.

However, she revealed her true colours within seconds when she gave a low-blow kick to Cena, allowing Dominik to hit The Champ with a 619. Liv Morgan then hit Cena with the IC title, and Dominik pulled a Frog Splash from the top of the turnbuckle on Cena. He scored the pinfall on the 17-time WWE Champion successfully.

Initially, it wasn't anticipated that Dom would win this contest, but he did, and therefore, he is indeed one of the biggest winners of the night.

LOSERS

#4 WWE World Heavyweight Champion, CM Punk

CM Punk came out as one of the biggest losers of the night. The current WWE World Heavyweight Champion took the pinfall at the hands of former Intercontinental Champion, Bron Breakker. The night, in fact, ended on a terrible note for CM Punk, as a mysterious man assaulted him and gave him a Curb Stomp before escaping the ring.

Last year, CM Punk was the highlight of the WarGames match, as he entered the contest at the last moment and helped Roman Reigns win the match. This year, Punk will be blamed for taking the pinfall and getting his team to lose the bout.

#3 Nikki Bella

Nikki Bella was another big loser of the night. The two-time WWE Divas Champion lost the WWE Women's World Championship match to Stephanie Vaquer. Nikki recently turned heel, and it appeared that the fans would see an extreme dark side of her as the Women's World Champion.

However, this loss seems to have cut all the momentum Nikki had. In fact, it now appears that the Hall of Famer may not wrestle anymore in WWE, and this week on RAW, she may announce her retirement from in-ring competition.

#2 John Cena

It also won't be wrong to consider John Cena as one of the biggest losers of the night. The retirement tour is turning out to be an embarrassment tour for him. John Cena's fans were miffed when he was squashed by Brock Lesnar at WWE Wrestlepalooza. They didn't want their champ to lose matches in a humiliating manner.

And now, this loss to Dominik Mysterio, a superstar 20 years younger than him, adds fuel to the fire. Cena has in the past put a lot of superstars like Austin Theory, Solo Sikoa, Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens.

However, the fans don't expect him to put over young superstars in his retirement tour. He had just two matches left, and the company could have allowed him to retain the IC title and then vacate after his retirement. This loss comes as a big disappointment for his fans.

#1 Becky Lynch

Becky Lyjch's woes are far from getting over. She continued her losing streak at Survivor Series: WarGames, when she tapped out after a submission lock by AJ Lee. Becky entered the WarGames team at the last moment, after losing her WWE Intercontinental Championship to Maxxine Dupri on RAW. In fact, before this title loss, she had lost two matches back-to-back to Maxxine.

And now this, submission loss, getting her entire team to lose the match, also comes as a big embarrassment for the man. Seth Rollins' injury has tremendously affected Becky's prospects in WWE, and it appears that she won't get back on the winning track unless Rollins returns.

It will be now interesting to see if she will go in a one-on-one match with AJ Lee.
