Let's Talk About | Survivor Series: WarGames

 



It's November, you know what that means, Survivor Series took place LIVE from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. There was a lot of build up and anticipation for this night, let's talk about it. 

The team of Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, Naomi, Iyo Sky and Bayley were victorious against the team of Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Nia Jax, Tiffany Stratton and Candice LeRae, judging by who was involved here, we were going to see some moves from the top of the cage, shoutout to Tiffany and Iyo for those moments. Rhea pinned her fierce rival, Liv for the win, this could potentially set up a Championship Match at Saturday Night's Main Event in two weeks time. 

Shinsuke Nakamura recently returned on an episode of SmackDown, targeting the United States Championship, which he managed to acquire from LA Knight here. Congratulations to him, people were complaining about this online, saying that Andrade or Carmelo Hayes should have won it instead, those thoughts are understandable, however, at the same time, they are names that will be in the mix, alongside Knight, to challenge Shinsuke. 

The crowd in attendance were very quiet in the early goings of the night, until the triple threat for the Intercontinental Championship, Ludwig Kaiser showed why he will be very successful when he inevitably splits from Gunther, Sheamus's wait to finally complete the set goes on, Bron's reign as Intercontinental Champion continues. 

Prior to Survivor Series, there has been a lot of talk in regards to Gunther's form as of late, after his loss to Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel, his performance against Damian Priest will quieten the critics, the only thing The Ring General will perhaps be annoyed about is he didn't win clean, because of Finn Balor's interference, this could be a triple threat in the future. 
 
In the main event, The OG Bloodline, with CM Punk, got their revenge from Crown Jewel by winning WarGames against New Bloodline, Jacob was an absolute madman, as many expected he was going to be, Shoutout to Bronson Reed for being involved in a prestigious storyline and main event, he deserves this opportunity to shine, which he did. The drama/tension between Punk & Reigns during the match was great storytelling due to their association with Paul Heyman. 

This may be a very unpopular opinion when I say, the Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Matches need to return, WarGames reminds me of the Hell in a Cell events in the past, when October arrived, it was time for Hell in a Cell, if that makes sense.
