At WWE Crown Jewel 2026, Roman Reigns defeated Sami Zayn to become the new Men’s Crown Jewel Champion.

Post match, Zayn gained some well deserved respect from “The Tribal Chief,” who told him to make everyone respect him.

Now that he is back on SmackDown as the Undisputed WWE Champion, this should lead to a major match for “The Last Real Good Guy” for Survivor Series WarGames on November 28.

Here are four potential options for Sami Zayn WWE Survivor Series opponent.

Kevin Owens

Since making his return at WWE SummerSlam 2026, Kevin Owens has been on the hunt for the Undisputed WWE Championship.

In his first attempt at the title, it was Sami Zayn who cost Owens his chance at the gold against CM Punk on the August 21 edition of SmackDown. Then in his second chance, Owens lost to Zayn thanks to interference from Punk.

However, KO got a measure of revenge with a win over Punk in a No Holds Barred Match on the November 6 SmackDown.

With all their history with one another, Owens going on to challenge Zayn for the Undisputed WWE Championship at Survivor Series WarGames might make for a perfect title match on the November 28 card.

Johnny Gargano

Over the past few months, Johnny Gargano has become the closest confidant to Sami Zayn.

Becoming his “Ride or Die,” Gargano has garnered a major spotlight on Friday Night SmackDown as of late.

“Johnny Wrestling” has helped Zayn on multiple occasions with the likes of Kevin Owens, CM Punk and Trick Williams.

This could all lead to Gargano getting his long awaited shot at Zayn’s Undisputed WWE Championship at Survivor Series WarGames 2026.

Randy Orton

At WWE Crown Jewel 2026, Cody Rhodes defeated Randy Orton in a Last Man Standing Match.

While he suffered the loss here, Orton could move on to bigger and better things now that his feud with Rhodes has concluded.

“The Legend Killer” has been on the quest for his 15th world title for much of 2026 so far.

Considering Cody has decided to lead Team USA against Team Mexico at WWE Survivor Series 2026, it opens the door for Orton to move on to face Sami Zayn for the Undisputed WWE Championship in Houston.

Drew McIntyre

At WWE WrestleMania 42 Night One, Jacob Fatu defeated Drew McIntyre in an Unsanctioned Match.

Since this loss, “The Scottish Warrior” has been absent from WWE TV for a number of months.

In recent months, there has been rumors about McIntyre could be making his return at some point soon.

McIntyre returning and immediately rekindling his rivalry with Sami Zayn for the Undisputed WWE Championship at Survivor Series makes a lot of sense with his dominant 12-0 record against “The Last Real Good Guy.”
