Team Mexico vs. Team USA – Is Survivor Series Bringing Back Its Classic 5-on-5 Elimination Matches?

Survivor Series 2026 could be bringing back one of the most iconic traditions in WWE history!

During an appearance on Stephanie McMahon's podcast, Rey Mysterio announced that this year's Survivor Series will feature a traditional 5-on-5 Elimination Tag Team Match, with Team Mexico taking on Team USA.

Mysterio also suggested that he had spoken with Raw General Manager Adam Pearce and SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis about getting superstars involved from both brands. There is also speculation that AAA talent could be part of the Mexico team, which would make this an even bigger international showdown.

With Survivor Series taking place on November 28 in Houston, Texas, the event will also mark the 40th anniversary of the original Survivor Series pay-per-view.

The traditional elimination matches were once the heart of Survivor Series, with teams battling until only one side remained. Over the years, WWE gradually moved away from making these matches the centrepiece of the event.

Could 2026 be the year that tradition makes a major comeback?
