WWE announced the following today:
NXT TakeOver: WarGames returns this November when the black-and-yellow brand comes to the STAPLES Center on the eve of Survivor Series on Saturday, Nov. 17.
Tickets for the huge WWE Network special event, which marks the first NXT TakeOver on the West Coast, will be available starting this Friday, July 20, at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT, at nxttickets.com.
The NXT Universe witnessed the monumental return of the first WarGames Match in nearly 20 years last November. Initially made famous as one of the premier match types in the NWA and, later, WCW, WarGames is a battleground unlike any other, pitting teams against each other inside two rings surrounded by a steel cage.
Last year’s match, fought among Undisputed ERA, Authors of Pain & Roderick Strong and SAnitY, set a new standard for brutality and gave Undisputed ERA bragging right after they picked up the historic win.
Don’t miss out on your chance to watch the action of TakeOver: WarGames live and in person this November when NXT comes to The City of Angels. Head to nxttickets.com this Friday to secure your seat!

Meh. Wasn't real crazy about the last one. Didn't hate it, but I didn't really care for it either. I'm not caught up in NXT these days but I hope they've got a good reason to do it. Doing Wargames just got the sake of Wargames is not a good idea. Just ask WCW.

Put a roof on the double ring cage. Without it, it just isn't War Games.

I would book it "Undisputed Era: Bobby Fish, Roderick Strong, Kyle O'Reilly & Adam Cole" vs British Strong Style "Pete Dunne, Tyler Bate, Trent Seven" w/ Danny Burch as Oney Lorcan is hurt right now.
EDIT: I originally had it as Oney Lorcan in the match as I thought it was Danny Burch was hurt. I've since fixed my mistake

I hope it's Undisputed Era vs. British Strong Style, because if not, it would seem pointless.
When I heard on Raw tonight that NXT War Games returns, I immediately thought that the WWE doesn't care who is in the match, that the attraction itself is War Games so we have to have it each year - just like TLC, Hell In A Cell, etc. Even if the match is worthy of said stipulation, it doesn't matter because the show is based around that match so wrestlers will perform in it.

Not surprised about that. Hopefully it's a blow off to a feud.

I wonder if they're gonna do 3 teams of 3 again...
I can see em doing 2 teams of 4 though -
Undisputed Era: Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Riley and Rodrick Strong.
British Strong Style: Pete Dunne, Trent Seven, Tyler Bate and Danny Burch.
assuming Fish is off the injured list by then.
Edit: he should be cleared by October.

It irritated me. If they'd put the top on it maybe. Even then it wasn't the same without the top. |

Yes the lack of the roof was a big part of it. But so was them making it three teams instead of two. With the roof it had a way more ominous feel to it. It looked like it was going to be a brutal vicious fight, because they were locked inside and they had to fight until some submitted or was pinned. They couldn’t just climb out and escape to win. They had to stay in there and battle until someone couldn’t anymore. Without the roof the NXT match was nothing more than a two ring cage match.
Then by making it a three team match took the whole 2 on 1 underdog concept out of it because now it could be everyone for themselves so it loses that underdog feel for the team that lost the coin toss.
Just like with the Hell in the Cell. Remove the roof and it’s just a glorified cage match. It just missed the mark for me. I don’t watch NXT, but I did watch that and it was the last NXT show I watched. I thought it was a very good cage match just not the “War Games”.

Well hopefully they see the criticism of the roof and add it this time around. I don't care about flying spots in war games, but I guess its what Papa Haitch wants.
