NXT doing a war games match is also a good trial run to see if they want to run one of the main roster after the Shield are a group again

Will anyone under the age of 30 give a gently caress about War Games though? It is just a flatter Hell in the Cell.

Wargames is good, 3 team Wargames is significantly less good

It's not remotely this. You should take some time between now and Takeover to watch some War Games matches on the award-winning WWE Network

do you think they'll do a straight war games match without changing the format because it dont think they will

staggered entrances probably staying but two rings, submissions only, and tiny cage?

if it's not two rings i'll say hell.

STOP DOING HEROIN
I thought they already confirmed the two-ring setup. Triple H has been wanting to do this for literal decades so I doubt they mess with the general formula (with less blood, for better or worse).

oatgan

definitely for worse

flashy_mcflash

I think the setup mostly stays the same, maybe they change the style of cage a bit for visibility. The staggered entrances are pretty key to the match and already happens in Elimination Chamber and the Rumble, so I'd imagine that's staying too. I don't care much for the subs but it should be fine.

I think Lars/Ohno gets bumped to the dark tapings. That's already a pretty full card and War Games will likely go 40+ minutes between entrances and match time.

Hideo Itami is the biggest MIA person from the taped matches that I can think of. A bit of a fall from wrestling at the last Takeover against Black.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
As interesting to me is that McIntrye v Almos will get two rings so we get to see Almos go full Sombra

Now all of the matches can theoretically stretch across both rings. Gives the women more room to work with anyways.

Do you know if there's a reason for this?

Hideo seems to be finally finding his feet, so it's a shame he wasn't used.

He wrestled last weekend so it isn't an injury. I think he just lost out on the numbers game as the roster is so big.

TM61 wrestled a dark match on the prior taping but didn't work last night either. Again likely the same deal.

The wrestlers will work hard to get the match over but NXT War Games will all new elements which are goofy as gently caress. Fans of the WCW one won't like it at all.

What kind of retarded-rear end War Games has three teams of three people?

Hunter's a huge fan of the loving Warrior one, I guess?

When the drug test comes back positive for performance enhancing drugs.
I'm going to assume it's three teams because they want all three groups on the card and don't have the time/room on the card for one of them to wrestle someone else.
