Triple H has announced that this years Survivor Series will feature two War Games matches.
I bought my ticket, my plane ticket, and booked my hotel. Was going to go regardless to knock out the last of the major four this year but this cemented my desire to attend. Anyone else planning on going?
Who do you think will be in the two matches?

I assume Raw men vs Smackdown Men, and women. Hopefully he adds some stakes to it like winners get number 30 in the rumble.

It's got to be storyline driven, no?
Bayley/IO/Kai/??/?? versus Bliss/Belair/Asuka/??/??
Balor/Rhea/Priest/Dom/?? versus Edge/Rey/AJ/??/??

HHH confirmed in an interview that the matches will be storyline driven and not a Raw vs. Smackdown thing.
Big question is 4v4 or 5v5.
Women side:
Damage Control + Blair maybe? (She seems like she'd be a good NXT fit for that stable) vs Bliss/Belair/Asuka/Raquel
Men's side:
Bloodline against 5 babyface misfits? Kevin Owens, New Day, I dunno who else. Maybe Ricochet and Johnny Wrestling?
Could also do Judgement day one, could do Imperium vs Brutes with a couple extra guys thrown in there. I'm still crushed we never got Imperium vs UE in a War Games match, that was a missed opportunity

Damn that's really cool. Feels 20+ years in the making to have a War Games match on main roster. They always found a way to make storyline sense of it in NXT, so I'm hopeful they manage to do the same here.

Good for those that want to see it, but I always thought that Wargames was a dumb idea for a match 🤷

When WWE first announced this Survivor Series as a "make good" for Boston after having to cancel SummerSlam a couple years ago, I was a little disappointed. Now I'm really excited to be going.
Survivor Series is a little over 2 months away and there are 2 PPVs between now and then(Extreme Rules & Crown Jewel). A lot of the feuds that would make for good War Games matches now, might be over by the time this show roles around.
I could see Logan Paul getting screwed out of a victory due to massive interference at Crown Jewel and then doing Team Paul vs The Bloodline. It would be great if Cody was cleared in time to compete in this War Games match.

I don’t like that he announced it two months in advance rather than building to it then announcing it.
I’m all for a change with the Survivor Series format though. Champion vs champion was a nice change but it’s kinda run its course. It doesn’t help that Roman has the two titles. Same goes for the Raw vs Smackdown elimination matches. There’s no stakes so it doesn’t really matter who wins. If the winning team had a number one contender Fatal Five Way match then I’d be fine with it staying. There’s just no incentive though other than ‘brand supremacy’ which is meaningless when you can be switched to the opposing brand in six months or so.

I think the womens match is a given but the question will be the 4th addition on each team. Becky is likely to be the 4th member with Bianca/Bliss/Asuka but who they would put with Damage Control, I dunno. I guess you could pull up an NXT star. Maybe Sasha comes back since its Bayley?

this is legit a brilliant move on triple h’s part. freshens up survivor series and gets one of his favourite NWA match types involved 😎

Always liked the NXT WarGames,so I can't see this not being fun. I guess the mens will involve the Bloodline but if not its gotta be The Judgment Day/Rollins or Theory vs Edge/Rey/Riddle/returning Orton? And Damage Ctrl vs Bianca and friends

Just realised that this probably means we're unlikely to get Gunther vs Lashley  |
