This year’s WWE Survivor Series pay-per-view event will feature two WarGames contests, according to Triple H, who revealed the news in an interview with The Ringer. The event will take place at Boston’s TD Garden on Saturday, November 26.
In 2017, Triple H revived the WarGames match concept for NXT and used it as the brand’s yearly event theme.
The WarGames idea has never before been used by WWE’s main roster. Dusty Rhodes created WarGames in 1987 for the NWA, and WCW eventually adopted it.
With stars from both brands competing in elimination and champion vs. champion matches, WWE Survivor Series has been about “brand supremacy” between RAW and SmackDown in recent years.
“We’ll have a men’s WarGames match and a women’s WarGames match. The tradition of the Survivor Series has ebbed and flowed and changed slightly over time, but this will be similar to that,” Levesque said. “This will not be Raw versus SmackDown. It will be much more story-line driven. I still look at it as a traditional component to Survivor Series in there because it’s large teams of people competing. We just upped the ante a little bit with WarGames and made it evolve.”
