Exclusive: WWE ‘Survivor Series’ 2022 Will Feature Two WarGames Matches

[Dale]

For the first time on a main-roster show, the iconic cage match concept comes to WWE at ‘Survivor Series WarGames.’ The Ringer spoke with Triple H about the legacy—and future—of WarGames.

Note: The Ringer has a working relationship with WWE.

WarGames, the two-ring steel cage match format that had its heyday in the 1980s and ’90s in the NWA and WCW, and in recent years in NXT, will be featured at WWE’s November event, newly titled Survivor Series WarGames. There will be two WarGames matches highlighting the Survivor Series card, The Ringer learned in an exclusive interview with WWE chief content officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque.

“We’ll have a men’s WarGames match and a women’s WarGames match. The tradition of the Survivor Series has ebbed and flowed and changed slightly over time, but this will be similar to that,” Levesque said. “This will not be Raw versus SmackDown. It will be much more story-line driven. I still look at it as a traditional component to Survivor Series in there because it’s large teams of people competing. We just upped the ante a little bit with WarGames and made it evolve.”

The premium live event, scheduled for Saturday, November 26, at TD Garden in Boston, will dispatch with the traditional Survivor Series format and replace it with the cage matches that were legendary in the realm of WWE’s then-rival, WCW, originally known as Jim Crockett Promotions, the standard-bearer of the old NWA.​

Gonna assume this is legit

Holy fuck that sounds awesome

 

[Daddy Deville]

TEAM The Way vs. Team Ciampa would been fun. I suppose Bloodline vs. Owens Team could be cool and instead of having Cody return at RR returning in his Daddys match (if I remember right) would be cool

 

[Deezy]

No Regal to scream "WARGAMES!!!".

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Let’s Fucking Go!!

 

[Chris]

I'm assuming men's and women's. Bloodline vs someone seems to be a given if Roman works the PPV.

Damage Control and friend in a women's one?

 

[Dale]

Seems the most likeliest of scenarios, though a Brawling Brutes vs Imperium one would be

 

[Dale]

I know it said it's not going to be Team Raw vs. Team SmackDown anymore but I assume that each team will have people from each roster right?

 

[Chris]

Oh I just now actually clicked the article and this shit is official official lmao its the tagline

 

[Chris]

 

[Dale]

Least we only have 2 months to wait and it's not an announcement that WarGames is returning in the 2023 calendar

Gonna be wild seeing it on the main WWE stage

 

[Dale]

Love to know what other older names / events he'd like bring back too.

Halloween is on a Monday in 2023 so we better get a Halloween Havoc special on Raw

 

[Hoss]

I like this idea, especially because it gets us away from the tired and always uninspired Raw vs. Smackdown stuff.

Presumably.
