So what will the War Games teams be?

[The Heartbreak TWERK]

Ferris Bueller, Marty McFly, John Bender, David Lightman and Long Duk Dong-

Ah shit, I did two Matthew Brodericks.

This joke isn't funny and it's taking way too much research.

[Error]

Bloodline v. KO, Drew, and the Brawling Brutes

Ronda, Shayna, Damage CTRL v. Bianca, Nattie, Asuka, Alexa, Liv

It all depends on what they plan to do with Candice.

I am thinking (and hopeful they turn her heel) more so after Johnny being a bit sketch in his Tell All from Raw that has people believing Johnny might be turning heel because of how sketch Johnny came off in that interview....and of course the fact we did not see Candice getting beatdown.


There are a few ways they could play this...I do not see Rhea joining this instead I think she is gonna be part of a mix tag match against the OC and whoever the woman they get.

But also can't be sure whether this will be 4 on 4 or 5 on 5...if it is 4 then it makes sense Candice fills the last role for the babyface side.

It's 5 on 5. The commercial that aired during Crown Jewel today said that each War Games match is going to have 10 competitors (so 5 on 5).

No it's going to be Damage Cntrl, Nikkeh, and 5 other heels vs. Bianca.

And Bianca will win WarGames.

I feel like 3 weeks isn't enough time to build a coherent group of babyfaces to go against the Bloodline in War Games. If they go that route, the Bloodline will 100% be the babyfaces that night and that will really screw up the psychology.

Brawling Brutes + New Day would likely be good enough.

It would be fine but that feud doesn't feel War Games worthy. It feels like we have to do two of them so here's the one for the guys.

It's too late to build up to this now but

Sami, The Usos, Solo and Roman vs The Hurt Business (Lashley, Shelton, Cedric, Omos and MVP)

That match could've slapped hard if booked right. Lashley not knowing whether to trust Omos and MVP again but then Omos makes the big save and takes The Bloodline out. That has huge pop written all over it.

Lashley vs Roman was a good match before too.



If they don't want to push Shelton and Cedric, they could've turned The Street Profits heel and put them with MVP. Then turn them back face.

[krozor]

McIntyre/Moss/Sheamus/Butch/Holland vs. Five Karrions Kross (Scarlett uses magic to make Kross duplicates)

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

Sheamus, Ridge, Butch, Kofi and Xavier vs. Roman, Jimmy, Jey, Sami and Solo is your men’s match IMO. Kofi and Xavier could have built in tension with the Brutes because Ridge hurt Big E, could be some interesting layers there. If not New Day, I think Drew and KO get involved. Depends on if this Karrion/Drew stuff is over.

Women’s match will be Bayley, Io, Dakota, Nikki and Tegan vs. Bianca, Alexa, Asuka, Candice and Indi Hartwell. I don’t think they mix up Beth and Rhea yet.

I think when Edge comes back we get Edge/Beth vs. Finn/Rhea at Rumble and a final Edge/Finn match at Mania.

Nice to know I’m not the only one who’s tired of super Bianca

[Lizuka #BLM]

My guess for the women's match is Damage CTRL, Nikki, and Rhea vs. Bianca, Asuka, Alexa, Raquel, and Shotzi, with Rhea pinning Bianca to set up Bianca pinning her in like four title matches to get her interminable reign to Mania.

here's the match graphic

four problems with this:

1) So they're going to debut mystery partners in a "this can't be settled in a regular match, we need war games to end this!" match. Bring in people that aren't involved in any of this, to the match that was originally made to end the feud. Unless they are doing a nwo-era war games, where the finish is the bad guys win and everyone saying "now what will we do!?" as part of the story. They're bringing in "I went and found and asked my friend to back me up..." to fill out the sides of a 3 vs 3 feud, and we're going to have people that have no issue with each other, just they're on their friend's side, backing them up to win for their team, fighting each other. This is what I was fearing once they announced they were doing war games. They announced "We're doing war games!" before they had any feuds or teams built up on the show to create the need for a war games match. Build up the feud first so it naturally leads to "we need a match to settle this", instead of announcing "we're doing a match" and then having to figure out people to fill the sides out to put into the match.

2) Has nikki given any sort of statement for why she's different now? The last time we saw her, she was doing the superhero thing, and then she disappears for a while, and then comes back as "I'm crazy and out of control!" nikki. Where's the interview to the audience of "I tried being a superhero to give you hope and something to aspire to. But you called me lame and laughed at me, so now I'm going to take out all of your heroes!" to explain the character switch and siding with the bad guys?

3) The whole feud and all of their matches have been "I'm the champion!" "no, I'm the champion!" "I want to be the champion so let's have a match for the championship!", so now they're going to settle their feud in a team match that's not for any of the titles, lol.

4) the usual problem of, "if either side wins, then what?", these six are the only people on the show. So if the bad guys win, then who are they going to face? If the good guys win, then who are they going to face? There's no one else on the show built up and ready to go for them to split off to after this match, so you know going in, this can't "end the feud" because there's no one else on the show for either side to face if one side goes away.

I can see Bianca and Rhea getting set up coming out of it. They strongly hinted at it tonight. And really who else is Bianca going to feud with? There's no one else left.

As far as Damage CTRL goes I can see maybe a shakeup coming with them soon. Seemed like Bayley was in the background a lot more then usual tonight and Dakota was getting the bulk of the dialogue in their promos. Also Bayley being the only one without a title despite being the leader could potentially lead to something where the other two turn on her.

So that's the two potential fresh storylines they could with going forward. Rhea against Bianca and then Bayley turning face to feud with a new look Damage CTRL. Not saying that's what they are going to do but it's two things on the table they could go with to refreshen things.
