Aleister Black’s Momentum Could Lead to a Title Shot
Aleister Black picked up a major win over Damian Priest on the final SmackDown before Crown Jewel: Perth. That victory over a former World Heavyweight Champion has positioned The Anti-Hero as a rising contender. With Cody Rhodes now vulnerable after his loss to Seth Rollins, WWE could book a high-stakes match between Black and Rhodes in San Diego.

Drew McIntyre Could Reignite His Feud With Rhodes
Cody Rhodes previously defended his Undisputed WWE Championship against Drew McIntyre at Clash in Paris 2025. However, that rivalry was paused when Rhodes shifted focus to Seth Rollins. Meanwhile, McIntyre entered a brief feud with Jacob Fatu. The Scottish Warrior is scheduled to face Fatu in a singles match on SmackDown, and a win there could push him back into the title picture. A rematch between McIntyre and Rhodes at Survivor Series would be a natural continuation of their unfinished business.
