WWE got creative after discovering fans were livestreaming the Survivor Series 2025 setup from a nearby San Diego apartment, deliberately playing entrance themes to spark false return speculation.
According to PWInsider, WWE staff intentionally played entrance music and titantrons for Edge, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Jinder Mahal during the pre-show setup at Petco Park—knowing someone was broadcasting the preparations online. The company wasn't teasing actual returns; the music was a calculated move to spread misinformation among fans watching the unauthorized stream.

The playful trolling highlights how closely WWE monitors fan engagement and online activity during major events. With speculation already swirling about potential surprise appearances at the November 29 pay-per-view, fans watching the setup stream proved easy targets for the audio misdirection.
Fans should disregard any return rumors that originated from the setup footage, as WWE has confirmed the music was purely a deliberate prank rather than a genuine tease.
