It’s that time of year when WWE breaks out the 2nd ring for WarGames. A staple of WCW’s The Great American Bash & Fall Brawl series from 1987 to 2000, it was brought back in 2017 with NXT TakeOver: WarGames before becoming a main roster event as part of WWE Survivor Series since 2022.
A WarGames match consists of 2 teams of 5 (sometimes of 4). One member of each team would be starting the match while the other 4 are in cages at the top of the ramp.
The competitors enter a cage that surrounds 2 wrestling rings.
WarGames cage and ring layout from WWE 2K23. This would have been what the NXT WarGames matches looked like, but the cages (on the right of the image) would be near the entrance ramp.
After 5 minutes, a member of the advantaged team (Which was determined on last night’s SmackDown) gets to enter next. Every 3 minutes after that, a member of the other team enters, alternating between the two until everyone is in the cage.
Once everyone is in, WarGames officially begins. The only way to win is by pinfall or submission. One person from either team just needs 1 pin or submission for the whole team to win. There are no disqualifications, so weapons are legal (and encouraged 😉)
As it has been since 2019, there are 2 WarGames matches, one for the men and one for the women.
Other than these 2 WarGames matches, there are also 3 championship matches, including the World Heavyweight Championship.
Non-Title Matches
Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Sami Zayn & CM Punk vs Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa and Bronson Reed in the Men’s WarGames match!
PREDICTION: This line is great. Old Bloodline vs New Bloodline with a sprinkle of Bronson Reed and CM Punk to spice it up. This should be a barn burner. Wouldn’t be surprised if there is some friction between Roman and Punk. Roman, Jimmy, Jey, Sami & Punk to win.
Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, Naomi, Iyo Sky & Bayley vs Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Nia Jax, Tiffany Stratton & Candice LeRae in the Women’s WarGames match!
PREDICTION: This is the weaker of the two WarGames matches, as you have a very dominant women’s team in Rhea and co. There is descension within the other team as Liv and Nia are champions, while Tiffany is Miss Money in the Bank and desperately trying to cash in her contract on Nia Jax and take her title. Rhea & Co to win, with this setting up Rhea vs Liv for the title once more at a future event
Title Matches
LA Knight (C) vs Shinsuke Nakamura in a singles match for the United States Championship
PREDICTION: Shinsuke has only returned to TV in the last couple of weeks as he hasn’t been seen on TV since April in a loss to Sheamus, but it appears that he is a heel now and a new outfit that makes him look like a badass. I can see him winning the title, as I don’t see what else LA Knight can do with the title for now. Shinsuke to win and become champion.
Bron Breakker (C) vs Sheamus vs Ludwig Kaiser in a triple threat match for the Intercontinental Championship
PREDICTION: Sheamus is once again challenging for the title that has alluded him for so damn long. If he wins this, he becomes a grand slam champion. Bron has been on fire and to be honest, he doesn’t need a title to show off how good of a worker that he is. He needs to get into a good feud with someone instead of all of these matches that have been slapped together with no actual story. Ludwig could be a dark horse, though, I’d watch out for him. Sheamus to win and become champion.
Gunther (C) vs Damian Priest in a singles match for the World Heavyweight Championship
PREDICTION: Ludwig’s stable mate Gunther is defending the WHC once again against the former champion Damian Priest. Gunther took the title from Priest at SummerSlam and I don’t see the title changing hands again any time soon. Gunther to win and retain the title.
