Penta and Je’Von Evans Join Opposing Teams for WWE Survivor Series
WWE has set up a Team USA versus Team Mexico match for Survivor Series, its November 28 event in Houston.
Cody Rhodes will lead Team USA, while Rey Mysterio will captain Team Mexico in a five-on-five elimination contest.
CM Punk and Je’Von Evans joined Rhodes’ team, while Mysterio recruited Penta for Team Mexico.
Penta and Evans are the new World Tag Team Champions, but they agreed to compete against each other at Survivor Series.
Dominik Mysterio was turned down by both captains after asking to join either team.
Seven places in the two lineups are still unfilled, so more wrestlers are expected to be announced.
The event will also feature Liv Morgan defending the Women’s World title against Becky Lynch.
