With War Games and the Fight Pit having made their way to the main roster in the very near future, let's ponder what other past gimmick matches that haven't been used much recently could be brought up.
One possible for a special event night I could see would be Battlebowl. For those that don't know, at some point Jim Crockett Promotions/WCW decided instead of feud ender spectacle like WWF was doing with WrestleMania, Starrcade would have special gimmicks for the show. One attempt was in 89 with the Iron Man/Iron Team tournaments...then a few years later they tried Battlebowl. A series of tag team matches with "randomized" partners (leading to a team like Sting/Abdullah the Butcher)...with the winning teams then going on to the end of the night in a battle royal (it's how Sting earned a title shot at WCW Champion Lex Luger). I could see this being a fun variant if done right to determine a new challenger for a champion (hell, make it a surprise thing and do it with the women to determine a new women's challenger).
What other ones could you see done?

I'd love to see Battlebowl in the WWE. WCW always screwed it up by putting the best workers in matches where they had no chance of getting anything out of their opponents. They could have randomised the matches for real and got a better PPV every time.

Don't know if you ever participate in the Forum Games...but I set one up with the WWE Women in there if you wanna participate.

At Halloween Havoc they should bring back the Chamber of Horrors. Bron Breakker wins after belly to belly suplexing JD McDonough into an electric chair and frying him.

WWE had the ThunderDome in 2020 and ‘21; why not bring back the cage match of the same name?

I always wanted to see two girls get booked in a lingerie pillow fight, and when the bell rings they completely subvert the idea and have a wild, bloody, around the arena brawl. At one point in order to satisfy the stipulation one of them will place a pillow case over a steel chair before she starts whaling away with it.
Also would love to see the return of the Carson City Silver Dollar Match.

Kennel from Hell! Bron Breakker's dad is the dog-faced gremlin, right? Well have the ring surrounded by dogs, & their handlers can be dressed as gremlins!

Championship Scramble. I’m assuming they were just dropped because it’s a pain in the arse to put together but I enjoyed them.
