The highly anticipated WWE Survivor Series premium live event is quickly approaching. Many are looking forward to the men’s WarGames match with the rumored return of Randy Orton as a fifth member of Cody Rhodes’ team. Rhodes will team up with Jey Uso, Sami Zayn, and the current World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins to take on The Judgment Day, with Drew McIntyre likely to join the heel faction for the match.

However, one member of the babyface squad has come to be the subject of conjecture as the PLE draws near. There’s a probability that Seth Rollins will betray his team. The WarGames match will offer up a lot of interesting dynamics and a possible turn by Rollins could be on the cards as well.

Cody Rhodes’ past tensions with Seth Rollins might be one reason

A heel Rollins was a perfect opponent for Rhodes, who then came back with the prime intention of being the top guy in the company. Rollins even accused Rhodes of returning to WWE all because of his selfish reasons. But later, in an interview with The Sports Illustrated, Rollins said that their feud primarily revolves around professional disagreements.

After defeating Seth “Freakin” Rollins in a high-profile match to begin his WWE comeback, Rhodes went on to win two more matches against The Visionary. Although they are on the same team now, their history could possibly be a hindrance in the WarGames match and could lead Rollins to turn on his team.

The past manipulation from Rhea Ripley could be another reason

Fans are aware of Rhea Ripley’s mind tricks. She certainly wants to establish herself as the RAW roster’s villainous boss. Mami has been working to help The Judgement Day in every way possible. Also, with her mind games and manipulation, she was able to include Drew McIntyre on her side.

It’s interesting to note that she also approached Rollins prior to his Crown Jewel Word title bout. The World Heavyweight Champion was told by her that her pal Damian Priest would cash in the Money in the Bank contract on Roman Reigns instead of him. Under the same circumstances, Rollins might still remember the proposal and abandon Cody Rhodes’ group to work with the opposition.

And if a guy like McIntyre got influenced by The Eradicator, it could be possible that Rollins would also join hands with them.
