So what do you guys think the WarGames match(es) will be

Here’s what I feel

Damien Priest, Finn Balor, Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh & Drew McIntyre vs Seth Rollins, Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso, Sami Zayn plus one other(maybe the rumoured return of Randy Orton)

Bayley, Iyo Sky, Dakota Kai(if she’s recovered), Kairi Sane & one other vs Bianca Belair, Charlotte, Asuka and two others

I don't think the champion will be in them, at least in the mens one. Roman isn't going to be there so I would imagine Seth defends his title.

Priest/Finn/Dom/Jimmy/Solo vs. Cody/Sami/Jey/Knight + 1

I know they will because they wanna kept it equal looking but I don't even think I would do a womens one tbh, just feel like it would be super random

 

[Deadd2009]

We'll probably get Rollins/McIntyre 2 at this show.

 

[The Gipper]

Since the tag champions can go to either brand…. Team Smackdown: Balor, Priest, Jimmy, Solo Sikoa, Kevin Owens managed by Aldis Vs Team Raw: Cody, Seth, Drew, Sami, Jey managed by Pearce.

Creates a 5 v 5 with multiple story conflicts on both sides.

Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley vs. Zoey Stark​

At Survivor Series, Rhea Ripley will need to get past Zoey Stark to keep her Women’s World Title.

Stark earned this matchup after becoming the last woman standing in a hellacious Battle Royal that saw her last eliminate Shayna Baszler.

Stark has had an impressive first year on Raw, becoming Trish Stratus’ protégé as well as battling Becky Lynch in star-making performances.

Ripley was nearly taken out by a Z-360 at WWE Crown Jewel in Stark’s effort to win the Fatal 5-Way Match.

Can Stark again connect with a Z-360 to become the new Women’s World Champion?

Men's WarGames Match​

Survivor Series will feature the return of WarGames, as The Judgment Day and JD McDonagh are set to duke it out with World Heavyweight Champion Seth “Freakin” Rollins, Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso and Sami Zayn.

The Judgment Day have been running rampant all year on Raw, with Rollins, Rhodes, Uso and Zayn all being on the receiving end of some brutal beatdowns from the devious group.

Now the quartet will finally get their hands on the group that has been gaining power with each passing week.

The Judgment Day will be joined by JD McDonagh, who hopes to officially join the group after helping them week after week but also hindering them on occasions, too.

Despite holding a mass amount of gold, none of the members of The Judgment Day have stepped inside WarGames. Meanwhile, both Uso and Zayn stood side by side during last year’s WarGames Match. The two, as part of The Bloodline, emerged victorious, and that was where they fully cemented their friendship.

Which team will survive WarGames?​

 

[Dale]

It is official.​

 

[Deadd2009]

​

Nah, I dont want to imagine Gunther losing to that geek.

 

[OMB]

Miz stands zero chance of winning but he honestly might get Gunther to one of his most entertaining mic promos from him.

Plus give me a miz level talking smack promo.

 

[Chris]

Gunther already cut a great zinger on Miz on a social media promo after Raw

 

[Shane]

So happy to see Miz back in the title picture. He can finally get back to where he belongs and he’s gonna elevate Gunther even higher

Intercontinental Champion Gunther vs. The Miz​

At Survivor Series, Intercontinental Champion Gunther faces another Superstar that boasts an impressive track record with the workhorse title, The Miz.

On the Oct. 30 episode of Raw, animosity ignited between The Ring General and The Awesome One when Gunther rebuked and humiliated The Miz on “Miz TV.”

The next week, The Miz became the next No. 1 Contender to Gunther’s title after besting Ivar, Ricochet and “Big” Bronson Reed in a Fatal 4-Way Match.

The A-Lister has held the Intercontinental Championship an astounding eight times and is one reign away from tying the record of nine.

Gunther has held the title a record 514 days (531 by the time Survivor Series arrives), while The Miz has spent 592 days as champion. Only Pedro Morales has held the title longer, as the WWE Hall of Famer was champion for a combined 617 days.

Which Superstar will leave Chicago with the Intercontinental Title?​

Spoiler: WarGames speculation from Meltzer

The men’s War Games match right now is listed as having Seth Rollins & Sami Zayn & Cody Rhodes & Jey Uso vs. Damian Priest & Dominik Mysterio & Finn Balor & JD McDonagh. There were reports that this will change and McIntyre will be part of the Judgment Day team. I was just told that this is under consideration and could happen. That would lead to someone having to be added to the other side. While there’s a roster full of people who would fit that bill, there is nobody obvious. Kevin Owens makes the most sense on a storyline basis. Ricochet would fit from a spectacular basis but he’s questionable for that date due to the possibility of a concussion. Bronson Reed would be an unpredictable pick who would benefit from a main event.

 

[Y2Jayne]

This looks pretty meh this far.

But I do hope this means JDM is finally part of JD
