Don't f***ing waste WarGames on brand warfare when there's already a big story that warrants for it.

The CM Punk discourse will be absolutely unbearable coming up to this even though, to be fair to them, WWE have done nothing to suggest they're even remotely interested.

I think the WarGames match will be Judgment Day/Bloodline vs. Cody/Jey/LA Knight/Sami/KO.

Please, for the love of god, NO BRAND SUPREMACY SHIT. The logo is in Red and Blue so I think you're SOL... And you know what that means. |

I think there’ll be a War Games match that’s not related to the brand vs. brand and then a separate traditional Survivor Series match or two that’s Raw vs.SD.

And let’s be realistic here, it’s not the actual brand v brand matches you don’t want here, it’s the Vince-pilled tropes. It’s the red shirts, it’s the blue shirts, it’s the “One night of the year brands go head-to-head” branding. That stuff.

Was it bragging rights where they had the ropes half red and half blue ?

I think they might give Raw the war games match with something like Judgment Day and Drew (he had that little moment with Rhea after the match today) v Cody, Jey, Sami, Seth and maybe a returning Orton.

Still not sure what the Women’s Wargames match will be. Dakota is injured still so can’t do Damage Control as a whole. Wouldn’t mind Rhea teaming with them but she’s probably defending against Nia here (unfortunately). Who else is there to team with them? And who do they face? Charlotte, Bianca & Asuka seem obvious but who else? Becky?
Need to use Gunther here if he isn’t leaving the US for a while. Don’t think WWE is booking Gunther v Paul or Roman v Seth. Maybe put Gunther in a multi man against Gable, Reed & Ivar.
Seth v Drew again seems obvious too. I’d build to Chelsea & Piper v Scottish Witches here too. Not going to be many matches on this card with there being 2 Wargames matches probably.
The brand supremacy match with Pierce & Aldis captaining holds little interest especially if most of your main event talent is in Wargames.
Looking at the talent left:
Raw:
Miz
Nakamura
Ricochet
DIY
V
Lashley
Street Profits
Rey
Escobar

Damage CTRL vs Asuka, Bianca, Charlotte seems really unbalanced. Bianca alone can beat up all of Damage CTRL. Plus, Bianca and friends vs Damage CTRL was last years War Games..although it would be fun if they introduce some continuity and just have Kairi be Bianca's kryptonite. Throwback to the Mae Young classic where she beat her, fast forward to Crown Jewel where she took her out enough for IYO to pin her.
Are there enough Girl Hosses on RAW to make a powerhouse team for a Raw vs Smackdown War Games? Let's see. Nia, Rhea, Piper, Raquel, is Tamina still around? Aww, she's Smackdown. I guess Zoey could be the 5th Girl Hoss for RAW, but despite being buff, she doesn't give off Hoss vibes. She doesn't throw people enough. Oooh wait Valhalla! She's sufficiently beefy and barbaric to qualify as the 5th girl hoss.

I just hope I NEVER see another Wargames spot where one person climbs to the top of the cage. Then everyone in the ring scurries in place for the catch.
