Now, let's explore three ways the Men's WarGames Match could shake up on tonight's SmackDown:

#3. Cody Rhodes could be taken out by Drew McIntyre once again

Drew McIntyre has apparently crossed the line in his rivalry with Cody Rhodes, which led to his suspension. However, he managed to return to the squared circle as part of The Vision's team for the Men's WarGames Match, thanks to Paul Heyman.

Despite being suspended, The Scottish Warrior has shown no remorse, as he brutally attacked Cody in the latter's tour bus last week on SmackDown. Given this incident, there is a strong possibility that McIntyre might target The American Nightmare tonight.

If this happens, it may prevent the Undisputed WWE Champion from competing in the Men's WarGames Match. As a result, the creative team could announce that he will be replaced by a mystery man at Survivor Series, who is likely to be Randy Orton.

#2. Dominik Mysterio and John Cena might be added to the Men's WarGames Match

John Cena is set to retire from in-ring competition in less than a month. He is scheduled to defend his Intercontinental Championship against Dominik Mysterio at Survivor Series, in what is billed as his final appearance at a WWE Premium Live Event.

The Cenation Leader has never competed in a WarGames Match, something many wanted him to do at the upcoming PLE before officially bidding fans farewell in December. Hence, the authorities might now consider giving fans the match they want to see.

Since tonight's SmackDown is the final episode before Survivor Series, both teams are expected to blow the roof off with a brawl to build excitement for the upcoming showdown. If this happens, Jimmy Uso and Logan Paul might be taken out during the chaos. As a result, Cena and Dominik could be added to the respective teams to replace The Marverick and Jimmy, instead of having them run it back for the Intercontinental Championship

#1. Drew McIntyre could be removed from the Men's WarGames Match

Jacob Fatu might pull off a surprise return on the upcoming episode of SmackDown and take out Drew McIntyre. He was supposed to lock horns with The Scottish Warrior in a number one contenders match for the Undisputed WWE Championship on the October 17 episode of the blue brand show. However, he was assaulted backstage by a mystery attacker before the bout.

That said, in a jaw-dropping twist, The Samoan Werewolf might return tonight and seek revenge against McIntyre by attacking him.
