WHAT HAPPENS IN A WWE WARGAMES MATCH?
In a WarGames Match, two rings are surrounded by a steel cage. The matchup begins with a member from each team battling one-on-one. After five minutes, a Superstar will enter from one of the two teams.
Every three minutes after that, another competitor enters, and the teams alternate until everyone enters. The WarGames Match officially starts when all the participants have joined. After that, the chaos continues until one team emerges victorious by pinfall or submission.
MEN’S WARGAMES MATCH: OG BLOODLINE WITH CM PUNK vs. NEW BLOODLINE WITH BRONSON REED
The OTC made his triumphant return at SummerSlam to wage war on the new regime and attempt to reestablish control of The Bloodline. However, the sinister trio of Sikoa, Fatu and Tonga overcame The OTC and a reunited Jey and Jimmy Uso in a Six-Man Tag Team Match at WWE Crown Jewel.
After the showdown, several tumultuous encounters between the two factions soon led to Zayn realigning himself with Reigns and The Usos to reform The Original Bloodline. Together, they look to finally topple Sikoa and his cold-blooded comrades.
"Big" Bronson Reed joined The Bloodline, forcing The OG Bloodline to try to find a fifth member.
Their prayers were answered when The Wiseman, Paul Heyman, returned to announce that CM Punk would be the final member for team OG Bloodline.

In desperate need of reinforcement, Ripley convinced, the EST of WWE as well as Naomi and The Genius of the Sky to join her cause, with Bayley replacing Jade Cargill after she was attacked, setting the stage for an epic WarGames matchup.
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION GUNTHER vs. DAMIAN PRIEST
At Survivor Series: WarGames, Gunther will defend his World Heavyweight Championship against former titleholder Damian Priest.
Gunther enjoyed a record 666-day reign as Intercontinental Champion, won the 2024 King of The Ring, and further established himself as one of WWE's most dominant Superstars when he claimed the World Heavyweight Title from Priest at SummerSlam.
That victory, however, occurred when Finn Bálor rocked The Biggest Event of the Summer by betraying Priest and helping The Ring General steal the gold from The Archery of Infamy.
Despite his ongoing issues with The Judgment Day, Priest emerged victorious in a Fatal 4-Way Match against Seth "Freakin" Rollins, Sheamus and Dominik Mysterio to earn the right to challenge the World Heavyweight Champion at WWE's Fall Classic.
UNITED STATES CHAMPION LA KNIGHT vs. SHINSUKE NAKAMURA
At Survivor Series: WarGames, United States Champion LA Knight will face a new caliber of Superstar in Shinsuke Nakamura.
Since overcoming Logan Paul at SummerSlam to capture the title, Knight has proved himself a fighting United States Champion.
However, Nakamura is a different kind of adversary who put the exclamation point on his return to SmackDown by attacking The Megastar just seconds after a successful title defense against Berto. He then launched a second vicious attack on the titleholder on the following SmackDown, repeatedly hurling him into the ring post just moments after the United States Champion overcame Santos Escobar.
Nakamura is out to do what he does best, playing mind games with Knight in his quest for the gold.
BRON BREAKKER vs. SHEAMUS vs. LUDWIG KAISER FOR THE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Fresh off reclaiming the gold from Jey Uso, Breakker needs to demonstrate that he is a dominant titleholder. For The Celtic Warrior, the Survivor Series free-for-all is the opportunity to claim the one title that has eluded him throughout his WWE career.
For Kaiser, it's finally time to live up to the faith that The Ring General Gunther has shown in him. Find out who leaves WWE's Fall Classic with the workhorse title at Survivor Series: WarGames
