The company initially teased a match between Rey and Dominik at Survivor Series, but the idea was reportedly scrapped. It’s crucial to note that Rey and “Dirty” Dom are a real-life father-son duo. To add a new twist to their long-running saga, the company might reunite them by booking the Hall of Famer to turn heel.

The Master of the 619 could cost The Franchise Player at WWE Survivor Series and help his son reclaim the gold. Following this, Rey could join The Judgment Day as its newest member. This angle could give a new direction to the Hall of Famer’s character.

Rey last played a heel character in October 2001 in WCW. He has never been a villain on WWE programming. A potential betrayal angle at Survivor Series could allow the father-son duo to perform as heels after wrestling as a babyface tag team in the past. However, this angle is speculative, and fans will have to wait and see what happens in San Diego.

What if John Cena retains the title at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2025?

If The Cenation Leader manages to retain the Intercontinental Championship at Survivor Series: WarGames 2025, he will have to defend the gold in his final match at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13. The ongoing Last Time is Now Tournament will determine Cena’s last opponent.

As of now, Gunther stands a strong chance to emerge as the victor in the competition. Therefore, if Cena retains the gold at Survivor Series, he could defend it against The Ring General and drop the gold to him.

Gunther has already had a great run as the Intercontinental Champion since joining the main roster. During his run, he delivered banger performances and arguably elevated the title’s prestige. Hence, it wouldn’t be a surprise if WWE books him to dethrone the Last Real Champion at SNME.

It remains to be seen what plans the company has in store for The Franchise Player ahead of his in-ring retirement.
