Cody Rhodes Leads Team USA With CM Punk At Survivor Series
Cody Rhodes expressed his desire to captain Team USA in a proposed five-on-five traditional Survivor Series elimination tag team match against Team Mexico. Rey Mysterio had discussed the concept on Stephanie McMahon’s podcast that was released on Friday and has confirmed he will lead Team Mexico.
Rhodes said he is ready to move past his rivalry with Randy Orton after defeating him in a Last Man Standing match that opened the Crown Jewel event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He noted that he stopped the referee from making the count even though he already had Orton beaten and still delivered a punt to his head as promised. Rhodes added that the lengthy feud had taken away his joy for wrestling and he is seeking something lighter and more fun.
In his post-show interview Rhodes directly addressed the potential Survivor Series matchup. He stated that Mysterio’s podcast comments about Team Mexico versus Team USA sounded great and that he would love to lead Team USA, assemble his own squad and engage in fun competition. Rhodes ended his remarks by telling Mysterio that if he was listening they should make the match happen at Survivor Series and that he was on.
The Last Man Standing victory over Orton marked the first time since the Crown Jewel Championship began that Rhodes was not involved in the men’s title match. He had won the inaugural championship by beating Gunther in 2024 before losing it to Seth Rollins the following year. WWE Survivor Series is scheduled for Saturday, November 28 at Daikin Park in Houston, Texas.
