During the WWE Crown Jewel 2026 post-show, Cody Rhodes put himself forward to lead Team USA against Team Mexico at Survivor Series 2026.

With his “American Nightmare” moniker, Rhodes is the most overtly patriotic member of the WWE roster and a fitting appointment for that role should it be made official.

But which four WWE stars will stand alongside Rhodes on November 28? Here are four potential candidates:

CM Punk

With CM Punk suffering a big loss to Kevin Owens on the November 6 episode of SmackDown, it’s hard to make a case for the “Best in the World” to re-enter the Undisputed WWE Title picture ahead of Survivor Series 2026.

Instead, the next shot at Sami Zayn may very well go to “The Prizefighter,” leaving Punk to find alternative plans for Survivor Series.

While they had issues with one another throughout the summer, Rhodes and Punk are friends and it would make sense for “The American Nightmare” to turn to Punk if he’s needing numbers for his team.

Je’Von Evans

With Penta likely a leading candidate to join Team Mexico, it would be interesting if his new tag team partner Je’Von Evans took up a spot on the opposing Team USA.

The pair dethroned The Vision as World Tag Team Champions at WWE Crown Jewel, which will hopefully give Raw’s tag division a much needed refresh after months of being overlooked.

While it would be nice to see the titles defended at a PLE once again, it’s much more likely WWE showcase their World Tag Team Champs individually through the Team USA vs. Team Mexico match.

Trick Williams

Given that Trick Williams is the reigning United States Champion, he’s got to be interested in stepping up and representing his country at Survivor Series.

“Trick Willy” may soon have a new challenger for that title in Damian Priest, however, WWE has yet to fully initiate that feud as of yet.

Providing WWE isn’t planning on having the two stars face off for the US Title at Survivor Series, Trick should be free and available to fight alongside Rhodes on November 28.

Seth Rollins

One of the most prevailing questions WWE fans have right now is in regards to Seth Rollins’ absence: will we see “The Visionary” make his return between now and Survivor Series?

Rollins has been off TV for over three months now, having last wrestled on TV against Roman Reigns all the way back at SummerSlam 2026 Night Two.

WWE has reportedly been saving Rollins’ return for “maximum impact,” and while a spot on Team USA likely doesn’t fit that bill, it’s better than him just sitting at home needlessly when he could be competing.
