WWE Survivor Series: WarGames returns on November 29, 2025, at Petco Park in San Diego, and the company is expected to bring something big to the show. Survivor Series has always been one of WWE’s most important events, and the tradition of surprise debuts and shocking returns continues every year.
With the card already stacked, this feels like the perfect moment for new faces to walk into WWE. Below are five superstars who could make their long-awaited debut at this year’s Survivor Series: WarGames.
5. Joe Hendry
Joe Hendry has already appeared at WrestleMania and the Royal Rumble, but those were part of WWE’s crossover with TNA. His actual WWE contract signing is still pending.
His TNA contract reportedly expires by the end of 2025, making Survivor Series the perfect place for him to officially join the roster. WWE could introduce him in a non-wrestling role or put him straight into a showdown to make an immediate impact.
4. Journey Fatu
Journey Fatu, the younger brother of Jacob Fatu, has been linked to WWE for more than a year. Rumors started when Rikishi posted his pictures online, and talk of the Fatu brothers entering WWE caught fire.
With Jacob Fatu currently out due to an injury angle and Drew McIntyre blamed in the storyline, Survivor Series could be the perfect moment for Journey to appear. He might attack McIntyre inside WarGames, starting a new rivalry and continuing the family’s presence in WWE.
3. Leyla Hirsch
Former AEW star Leyla Hirsch may also be on her way to WWE just not as a wrestler.
Reports revealed that she contacted WWE for a referee tryout, and she has already tested for the role. With a women’s WarGames match on the card, Survivor Series could be where she makes her official debut as a referee, marking the start of a new chapter in her career.
2. Zilla Fatu
Zilla Fatu, son of the late Umaga, has become one of the most talked-about prospects. Booker T has praised him heavily, saying he could be one of the biggest breakout stars of the next generation.
At only 26, Zilla has plenty of time to grow, and WWE may want to introduce him at a major event. With multiple Anoa’i family members already involved in storylines, Survivor Series 2025 could be the perfect place for Zilla to make his first move.
1. The Righteous (Vincent & Dutch)
Vincent and Dutch, known as The Righteous, recently left AEW and Ring of Honor. Ever since then, fans have been expecting their jump to WWE.
If they debut, one likely direction is a feud with The Wyatt Sicks, the dark and mysterious faction currently dominating WWE’s tag division. Their eerie personas make them a perfect fit for the kind of intense storytelling WWE is building right now.
