WWE News: Updated Card For Sunday’s Survivor Series
A look at the updated Survivor Series card!
Now that this week’s episodes of RAW and SmackDown Live are in our rear view, the focus for the main roster turns to Sunday’s Survivor Series pay-per-view at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.
Most all of the remaining spots for either brand’s teams had been filled by the time we hit tonight’s SmackDown Live. All except for which teams will represent the blue brand in the 10-Team Elimination Match. While we would learn those final participants, there were also some major changes to other matches after Becky Lynch selected Charlotte Flair as her replacement and Daniel Bryan defeated AJ Styles to become the new WWE Champion (see Mitchell’s SmackDown Live Report here).
Here’s the latest card for Survivor Series, airing live on the WWE Network this Sunday at 7PM EST with the Kickoff beginning at 5PM:

TKO president Mark Shapiro confirmed the company is employing artificial intelligence as part of WWE’s creative and analytics process, using it to gauge which superstars resonate, where they connect with fans, and to inform content, touring and revenue decisions. Shapiro framed AI as a tool to help map editorial and creative strategies, though he did not specify the scope or specific systems being used.
Industry critics caution that commercially available large language models have significant limitations — they’re trained on existing internet data, prone to hallucinations, and often fail to produce genuinely new creative ideas. Studies also cast doubt on large productivity gains from AI and raise concerns about over-reliance on automated analysis driving billion-dollar booking decisions, with commentators warning that unchecked use could skew creative outcomes and require rigorous human verification.

TKO president Mark Shapiro recently confirmed that Nick Khan and Triple H have incorporated AI into WWE’s creative process, and wrestling fans are now spotting the technology in vignettes and promo packages. An earlier El Grande Americano clip raised eyebrows last year, but this week’s NXT vignette allegedly featuring Sol Ruca and Zaria has prompted even stronger accusations that AI is being used in broadcast production.
Viewers highlighted uncanny-valley close-ups and likeness issues—most notably that Sol Ruca’s on-screen appearance didn’t match her real-life features—as signs the segment may have been AI-generated. Social media backlash suggests many fans feel WWE is rushing AI into television content before the tech can convincingly replicate talent.
