WWE is on the road to Survivor Series, where War Games Matches for both divisions will take place. They also have a stopgap at SNME in November that should have strong implications for Survivor Series. The matches currently scheduled for that SNME are: CM Punk vs. Jey Uso for the World Heavyweight Title and Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Drew McIntyre for the WWE Title. WWE has one week to add at least two more matches to the card, as SNME usually has four-five matches take place in its two-hour window. With that being said, here are the official SNME Predictions for November 1, 2025.
Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Drew McIntyre [WWE Title]
Drew McIntyre was supposed to defeat Jacob Fatu in a number one contender's match at this event to battle Cody Rhodes for the WWE Title at Survivor Series, but WWE expedited the process here after Jacob Fatu was abruptly written off television to recover from dental procedures. This rematch from WrestlePalooza could very well trigger a trilogy between these two, as it has been rumored that Rhodes actually wants McIntyre to dethrone him for the championship. However, after the torch was passed from Cena to Rhodes, it would be unwise to end Cody's reign so soon after SummerSlam.
Prediction: Cody Rhodes
Becky Lynch (c) vs. Maxxine Dupri [IC Title: No DQ & No Count-Outs]
Becky Lynch will not lose this title match, especially to a mid carder who earned a fluke count-out and DQ victory on two separate occasions. This is merely a showcase and "rub" for Maxxine Dupri after she was trained by Natalya in the Hart Dungeon for weeks and asked for an opportunity to prove that she belongs in the ring with one of the greats. AJ Lee, the true threat to Becky's title, has been absent on TV due to her recent book tour. However, she did make Becky tap out in their mixed tag match at WrestlePalooza, so she has a claim for a title match and even War Games at Survivor Series.
Prediction: Becky Lynch
Wyatt Sicks vs. MFTs [Faction War]
Wyatt Sicks and MFTs have been staring off for weeks now, so they have to settle this beef at some point. It would make sense for them to save their faction war for Survivor Series since that is an event where War Games Matches take place. However, since two blockbuster War Games Matches involving Team Punk vs. Vision and Team AJ Lee vs. Team Becky Lynch are already taking place at Survivor Series, it would be wise to put this factions on SNME as a pre-match showcase of sorts for Survivor Series. MFTs will likely win to earn momentum for future tag title and U.S. Title opportunities.
Prediction: MFTs
Tiffany Stratton (c) vs Jade Cargill [WWE Title]
Tiffany Stratton and Jade Cargill still have unfinished business. Stratton defeated Cargill clean at SummerSlam. However, when she retained the title against Cargill and Nia Jax in what was a controversial ending on SmackDown, Stratton did pin Jax. It seems that Stratton is currently in a side feud with U.S. Champ Giulia and Kiana James. To get Cargill back in the fold, she could assist Stratton in fending them off to get another shot at the title by association. There is no way WWE should book Cargill to lose again, especially since she won the QOTR Tournament this year and needs to solidify it.
Prediction: Jade Cargill
CM Punk vs. Jey Uso [World Heavyweight Title]
Originally, Seth Rollins was scheduled to defend the World Heavyweight Title against CM Punk in the main event of this show. However, due to Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed's betrayal of Rollins and Rollins' recent injury in his Crown Jewel Title Match with Cody Rhodes, those plans got scrapped. Now, CM Punk, who won a triple threat number one contender's match against Jey Uso and LA Knight and had a rematch clause for the title after losing it in 5 minutes, and Jey Uso, who won a battle royal to earn his spot in this match, are battling for the vacant title in an absolute downgrade.
There was fan backlash for that Jey Uso battle royal victory, reminiscent of his Royal Rumble victory in January. Most fans wanted LA Knight to battle CM Punk for the title, and the fans are correct, especially after the storyline potential Punk and Knight built up not only with the Vision but also in their promo battles with each other. Instead, WWE took the safe route and went straight back to the Bloodline story with the Usos that has been overdone, like burnt turkey on Thanksgiving Day. When CM Punk called Jey Uso "little Roman," he was not lying because this booking is getting out of hand.
This match between two faces has already sparked speculation that someone will turn heel, and Jey Uso is the closest to turning due to Roman Reigns' influential advice to be selfish with the spotlight and stop helping others at the expense of his own success. However, Paul Heyman already teased that he will execute a plan to assure that Vision get involved as revenge for Breakker and Reed being taken out of the battle royal. They will elicit a screwy finish to this match, but the champ needs to be CM Punk, an established veteran who is more ready for a world title run than Jey Uso ever will be.
Prediction: CM Punk
