Survivor Series WarGames: Who is the masked man who attacked CM Punk?
The Survivor Series: WarGames provided more questions than answers Saturday, but delivered entertainment and creativity. Liv Morgan made a surprise return, a mysterious figure set up The Vision team to win the men’s WarGames match and AJ Lee pinned Becky Lynch in the women’s WarGames match.
Who is the mystery man?
That’s the biggest question after Saturday’s Survivor Series. At the conclusion of the men’s WarGames match, an individual dressed in all black wearing a hood climbed over the cage and delivered a superkick and stomp to CM Punk. Those moves were reminiscent of Seth Rollins, who has been sidelined because of a shoulder injury, but that seems to be a red herring. It’s probably a past competitor. Could it be Randy Orton, who has been away for two months? Maybe Austin Theory, who has been out of action since July? Or, if we want to take a wild guess, maybe AEW wrestler Chris Jericho, who would set the wrestling world on fire with a return to WWE for the first time since 2018. Whoever it is, it will be a big reveal, given the suspenseful way Survivor Series ended.
It was big for Bron Breakker to finish the men’s WarGames match
After the mystery man’s attack, Breakker delivered a spear and got the pin over Punk. The match began with Punk and Breakker in a staredown that felt like a five-minute appetizer for a future world title match between these two. That thought was cemented by seeing Breakker pin Punk to win the match for his team. It could have been Logan Paul, who had a great showing for Team Vision (including a double suplex with Drew McIntyre onto Punk and a midair biceps pose followed by a kip-up), but Breakker made the pin, and that speaks volumes. I believe Paul is a future world champion, but after Survivor Series, it looks as if Breakker could be the next challenger for Punk.
Dominik Mysterio regains the Intercontinental Championship

Liv Morgan returns to help Dominik Mysterio top John Cena for title
WWE superstar Liv Morgan makes an epic return to the ring to help Dominik Mysterio beat John Cena.
In a match full of fun twists, Mysterio regained the Intercontinental Championship, pinning John Cena. “Dirty Dom” pulled out all the “lie, cheat and steal” stops in this one, including feigning a shoulder injury that made referee Chad Patton call for the medics, setting up Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez to attack Cena. Dom then popped up as if nothing had happened, but the referee refused to make the count, allowing the match to continue. Dom also evoked Eddie Guerrero’s antics from WrestleMania XX against Kurt Angle by loosening his boot, causing Cena to yank it off while trying to apply the STF. The finish was brilliant: Liv Morgan returned and slapped Dom, then hugged Cena. In a callback to Cena’s heel turn in March, Morgan’s expression went from delight to emotionless, followed by a kick to Cena’s groin, allowing Dom to win the match. Dom reclaimed the Intercontinental Championship and is back with Morgan. It was a highly entertaining and great win for Dom, who has competed in three of Cena’s final four WWE matches, which is a huge accomplishment.
Stephanie Vaquer defends her title
Vaquer defeated Nikki Bella to retain the Women’s World Championship, and that was the right call. Bella is a WWE Hall of Famer and deserves praise, but Vaquer is the present and future. Vaquer has plenty of challengers, many of whom were participating in the WarGames match. Speaking of which …
AJ Lee shines in WarGames

Iyo Sky stuns with amazing front flip off the cage
Iyo Sky sticks a trash can over her head and flips off the top of the cage for an amazing moment.
In the women’s WarGames match, Lee got a submission win over Becky Lynch with the Black Widow, which is leading to a singles match between the pair, hopefully at WrestleMania. Iyo Sky (with an Iyo Sky-branded garbage can) had the moment of the match — and perhaps of the night — leaping off the cage wearing the garbage can and onto opponents. Lash Legend had a great showing, asserting her dominance upon entering the match. The former WNBA and college basketball player has high potential. Charlotte Flair’s attire was inspired by 7-year-old Scarlett, who has a brain tumor. A truly classy move by the WWE superstar.

Dolphins’ Darren Waller says he was kicked out of exit meeting with coach Mike McDaniel before firing
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The Miami Dolphins fired head coach Mike McDaniel last week, and Darren Waller almost found himself right in the thick of it.
“I was at the scene of the crime, bro. I think I was the last person to see him before he got fired,” the Dolphins tight end said in a recent appearance on Johnny Manziel’s podcast.
Waller said he was in his exit interview with McDaniel discussing possibilities for the 2026 season before owner Stephen Ross “kicked the door open” roughly 10 minutes into their discussion.

“He comes in and, like, joins the conversation,” Waller said. “We’re just all talking, reflecting on the year, and Stephen Ross was like, ‘Love to have you back next year.’ Then the conversation kind of just hits a lull.”
Waller said Ross was then giving him a specific look, which Manziel understood.
“It’s time for you to get the hell out,” Manziel said laughing.
“I looked at Mike, and he said we’d finish the conversation later … I go out of the meeting, get a massage, check my phone and see he was fired. I’m like, ‘This s— is cold.’”
Ross cited a need for “comprehensive change” after the team missed the playoffs for a second straight year with a 7-10 finish this season.

FOX SUPER 6 CONTEST: CHRIS ‘THE BEAR’ FALLICA’S NFL DIVISIONAL ROUND PREDICTIONS
The Dolphins made back-to-back playoff appearances in McDaniel’s first two seasons as head coach but were eliminated both times in the first round. The following season, they were eliminated after suffering an unexpected loss to the New York Jets in the team’s season finale.
McDaniel’s final season in Miami was tumultuous, highlighted by quarterback Tua Tagovailoa‘s struggles and his eventual benching in the final three games of the season.
As one of his last major moves as head coach, McDaniel said this week that the Dolphins would hold a quarterback competition for the 2026 season, a decision Tagovailoa seemed to welcome this week when he confirmed he was open to a “fresh start” somewhere else.

In addition to replacing their head coach and finding a reliable candidate for the quarterback position, the Dolphins will be looking for longtime general manager Chris Grier’s replacement after he was fired mid-season.

The New York Mets have reportedly made a big addition to their lineup.
The Mets and Bo Bichette are in agreement on a three-year, $126 million contract on Friday, according to multiple reports. After falling short in the Kyle Tucker sweepstakes, who reportedly signed a whopping four-year, $240 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Mets pivoted to Bichette.
The deal includes opt-outs after both the first and second seasons of the contract, according to multiple reports.

Bichette, 27, had a good season for the Toronto Blue Jays last season, hitting .311 with 18 home runs and 94 RBI in 135 games. He sustained a knee injury in September during a collision at home plate and missed the remainder of the regular season, the ALDS and ALCS.
He returned in the World Series and was a big contributor to the Blue Jays, who were just two outs away from winning it all. In seven World Series games, Bichette hit .348 with one home run and six RBI.
However, during the World Series, he moved off his normal position of shortstop and manned second base, because of his limited mobility with the injury. Bichette graded out poorly as a defensive shortstop regardless, and it does not appear that the Mets signed him to play shortstop, as they have Francisco Lindor there currently, who is a good defender.
DODGERS SIGN STAR OUTFIELDER KYLE TUCKER TO $240M CONTRACT: REPORTS

The Mets acquired Marcus Semien to play second base from the Texas Rangers earlier in the offseason, and he won a Gold Glove last season. With Semien and Lindor seemingly locked into second base and shortstop, respectively, it appears the Mets signed Bichette to play third base.
Bichette has never played third base in his professional career. If the Mets do indeed try Bichette at third base, it would mean their corner infielders could be making their professional debuts at their respective positions.
The Mets signed Jorge Polanco earlier this offseason to be their first baseman, despite him having never played there in his big-league career.

Regardless of how the Mets align their infield, Bichette is a major boost to the top of their lineup. In seven seasons, Bichette is a career .294 hitter with 111 home runs and 437 RBI, along with 60 stolen bases.
The top of the Mets lineup will look very different next season with the additions of Bichette and Semien, along with mainstays Pete Alonso, Brandon Nimmo and Jeff McNeil all having departed in free agency or via trade.
