I love Triple H for this, he wanted to do this for 20 years and he's done it at his first opportunity.
This is where Vince's stubbornness really took over. Elimination Chamber is a fine concept but imagine Evolution vs HBK, Benoit & Goldberg. I'm probably getting my timelines slightly mixed up but you get the point.

I am 1000000000% in support of this. Another WWE PPV I'm going to be legitimately looking forward to.
Even if it's unnecessary for feuds, I like the concept of Wargames a lot.
Unless the Bloodline win/dominate Wargames, then f*** off, because Christ almighty what more does Roman need, but as of right now gimme gimme gimme.

This is great news. I do wish they do a War Games/SSeries match hybrid where after the MATCH BEYOND begins, eliminations occur until finally one team is gone. Anybody agree? In a Efed I was in, this is how we did it. The match didn't officially begin until everyone entered, but then it was elimination rules. All the ones I was in had the standard rules but elimination rules wouldn't be a bad hybrid idea.

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 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. Well, what do you know? 💪

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. There's not been a Coal Miner's Glove Match in a good while.. feels like forever, actually. Maybe NXT could bring that back.

Hunter making Survivor Series have WarGames this year and being storyline-driven instead of the Raw vs. SmackDown makes it really interesting. The main event would be 4v4 or 5v5, depending on whether Bloodline dumps Sami before Survivor Series or the betrayal happens on the match itself.
Still want that Bobby Lashley vs. Gunther match though.

I'm hoping they make it more of a wild brawl than they do a crazy spotfest. That has its place but past the first one the NXT War Games matches really all bleed together.
Granted I guess that might just make it feel like a more tame Blood & Guts while the spotfest approach gives it more of its own distinct flair, though to be fair that could also be addressed by having the match actually matter instead of being immediately irrelevant filler in the midst of a continuing feud like both Blood & Guts matches have been.

The Bloodline doesn't have a heated feud yet, but Judgment Day are going after Edge, Rey, Riddle and now teasing AJ. Does that make it Judgment Day & Seth v Edge, Rey, Riddle and AJ? or does AJ join and it becomes five on five, with two others joining Edge? Got the real potential there for Edge to have Dom in a submission hold, why Priest and Bálor try and persuade Rey to tap out to make it stop.

If they can make it last, they could do Judgement Day & Rollins vs. Rey, Edge, Riddle, and Styles. In this scenario, I would have Styles pull a Curt Hennig in '97 and join JD.

Its a shame that Rhea couldn't take part in the match

If there is any time as any to finally start the downfall of the bloodline it NEEDS to start here by having them lose and Sami being the fall guy. And then piece by piece...Solo loses the NA title then the tag titles and then finally of course the Undisputed Universal title. And IMO (atleast with the NA title) Sami needs to be that teather...and then they turn on him and pushes him to KO and inevitably winning the tag titles and then when Tribal Chief has to blame somneone we come full circle with him berating the Uso's and they finally turn on him.

Hopefully triple h comes to his senses and puts the roof back on the war games cage because it made me dislike the NXT version. I mean I’m all for updating things but the roof needs to go back on the war games cage.

Everyone is excited for WarGames, and I’m just sitting here thinking, “But what about the Elimination Tag Matches?”

If the Bloodline are in, Roman has to take the fall. Sami can be at fault, but it allows Roman to go back to the gaslighting he was doing a couple of years back, when he was at his best. "You didn't beat me, it took all five of you to beat me".

I'd rather see the Bloodline in the match as I don't think Judgment Day is big enough to be in a match of this magnitude and I can see Heyman talking it up big time in the weeks leading into the match.
I figure Roman has to get beaten here to show some weakness as we approach the end of the year and going into Mania season.
Afterwards Sami gets beat down on the Smackdown following the event and maybe him and KO finally challenge the Usos for the tag belts.

Imagine some of the old elimination matches being War Games when Survivor Series was at its peak on Thanksgiving Night.
Doing this now could be the first step towards Survivor Series being a stadium show going forward, as it should be.
