Betting odds have placed Dominik Mysterio as the favorite in his upcoming match against John Cena for the Intercontinental Championship at Survivor Series in San Diego on November 25, 2025. Currently, Mysterio holds odds of -350, while Cena is at +200. This shift reflects a significant change in expectations, especially as Cena had originally been positioned to enter next month’s Saturday Night’s Main Event as the champion.
The odds for Mysterio have fluctuated, reaching as high as -500 in some betting markets, suggesting strong confidence in his ability to secure the title. Many fans see this as a logical outcome, considering Mysterio hails from San Diego and is being groomed as a key figure in WWE’s future. Nevertheless, Cena’s track record over the past year, including losses to notable opponents like Brock Lesnar at Wrestlepalooza, raises questions about his current standing.
Predictions and Match Previews
In the women’s WarGames match, the babyface team, consisting of AJ Lee, Rhea Ripley, IYO SKY, Alexa Bliss, and Charlotte Flair, is heavily favored at -800. This line suggests WWE’s reluctance to see top stars like Lee or Ripley suffer losses. The only potential twist could arise if there is a betrayal between Bliss and Flair, which might shift the momentum.
On the opposing team, tensions are brewing, particularly between Kairi Sane and Asuka. A confrontation could cost the heel team crucial points in the match. Despite the high odds, the possibility of internal conflicts makes this prediction uncertain.
Prediction: AJ Lee, Rhea Ripley, IYO SKY, Alexa Bliss, and Charlotte Flair to win.
The Women’s World Championship match features Stephanie Vaquer defending her title against Nikki Bella. Vaquer, who was initially a -1600 favorite, sees her odds dip to -1000, indicating a slight shift in perception. With her recent title win in September, WWE is clearly positioning Vaquer as a leading figure in the women’s division. Bella’s chances appear slim, underscoring a likely straightforward victory for Vaquer.
Prediction: Stephanie Vaquer to retain.
The men’s WarGames match showcases an exciting lineup, with CM Punk, The Usos, Roman Reigns, and Cody Rhodes facing off against Logan Paul, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Drew McIntyre, and Brock Lesnar. The babyface team is currently favored at -200, but an upset is plausible. The inclusion of two world champions on the babyface side suggests that a heel victory might set up future title storylines.
Each team features members who could take a fall, with Jimmy Uso standing out as a likely candidate for the babyfaces. Conversely, the heel side has strong contenders, but losing McIntyre might not have the same impact as losing one of the other key players.
Prediction: Logan Paul, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Drew McIntyre, and Brock Lesnar to win.
As the anticipation builds for Survivor Series, the outcomes of these matches will undoubtedly shape the future direction of WWE’s programming. Fans are eager to see how these storylines unfold and what surprises await in San Diego.
