William Regal just went full mast and doesn’t know why.

LFG!!!! I am so excited. I'm grateful the changes that really needed to happen are being made.

On one hand, it's a big upgrade over the current format. On the other hand, having a set time where a big gimmick match happens independent of the storylines still sucks and having two of them waters it down a bit. Overall a plus I'd say but I am not overly excited. I have also felt like some of the NXT War Games matches have been just there and they have too often tried to be cute about the psychology when the match really just books itself.

Great news, the Raw/SD brand warfare was tiresome.
I'm guessing it will be the Bloodline vs. A group of faces from Raw/SD who have been wronged by their group, perhaps led by Kevin Owens.

“The world has changed. The world has evolved. I don’t think it’s necessary,” Levesque said. There is still blood in WWE, but there are medical personnel to check on wrestlers if there is an inadvertent cut. “If we have talent that gets [cut open], usually you’ll see them roll out and they’ll get looked at to make sure that there’s nothing dangerous,” Levesque added. “I’m just of the opinion right now, given the state of the world and the pandemic, and at the end of the day, what we do is dangerous enough without intentionally making it more dangerous. Yes, we did [feature bleeding] for a long period of time, but we’ve changed that practice. And it’s irresponsible to go back.”
It's hilarious to see him use the pandemic of all things to justify this policy given the way NXT approached it. I still remember Hunter hyping up some sort of disinfectant COVID spray to keep his talent safe. There are plenty of other fine reasons to ban blading, Just go with that.

An upside of having Triple H in charge is WCW not being treated as an embarrassing step child anymore.
We got WarGames on the main roster, now rebrand one of the PPV's as Starrcade

AEW weekly shows have given me enough blood in wrestling to last 3 lifetimes. I’m cool.

I'm thinking it's Roman, Solo, Jimmy, Jey, and Sami vs. Drew, KO, Sheamus, Ridge, and Butch. If they REALLY want to shock people and he's somehow ready to come back, let Cody be a surprise participant at the end to get things brewing with Bloodline and Cody for Mania. I think that might be medically impossible, though. |

So will it just be one WarGames (Bloodline vs. some team) or do you think Hunter will push to have a Women's War Games too (Damage Ctrl and a few others vs. various perhaps)?

I'm sad they're taking this away from NXT, seemingly.

I'm sad they're taking this away from NXT, seemingly. I hear you. I'm hopeful there will be some other new gimmick match NXT gets in return for WWE main roster taking War Games. I think it was bound to happen at some point because if you're treating NXT as the developmental, it almost stands out that they have a stipulation match cooler than anything on the main roster. I'm sure the reason War Games even happened in developmental was so that one day Triple H could pitch it to Vince or the main roster and show them that it could be easily shot and produced, etc. |

I don’t think they’re done pilfering. Like, I’m feeling like they’re maybe a matter of hours away from announcing Rollins v Riddle in the damn Fight Pit at Extreme Rules. |
