An update has emerged on WWE’s plans for WarGames matches following Survivor Series 2022.
The popular stipulation was brought to the main roster for the November 26 premium live event.
Two WarGames matches took place on the show, with Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair, Alexa Bliss, Asuka & Mia Yim defeating Damage CTRL, Rhea Ripley & Nikki Cross in the show’s opener, and The Bloodline victorious over the Brawling Brutes, Drew McIntyre and Kevin Owens in the main event.
Speaking with Kevin Owens on WWE After The Bell, announcer Corey Graves noted that following the success of Survivor Series WarGames, WWE has been discussing how to better utilise the stipulation.
Graves said:
“You’ve (Kevin Owens) competed inside WarGames twice.
“It was my first time getting to call WarGames. Obviously the first time it happened on the main roster.
“Monday morning, full disclosure to everybody, Kevin Patrick was there, we had a meeting as we do before Monday Night Raw each and every week and there were questions asked as to how do we improve WarGames, how do we tweak WarGames because this was the first rollout.
“We got the men’s and the women’s all in the same night. There was a lot happening.
“It’s very difficult to differentiate two of the same style matches within the same card.
“Kudos to all 20 people involved because that’s exactly what happened successfully.
“It was a very exciting conversation to be a part of because everybody across the board went, ‘Cool. Saturday night was a success. How do we make it better?’”
A new report has indicated that WWE has had talks about having another popular match type to return at Royal Rumble 2023, which you can read more about right here.
