WINNERS: Rhea Ripley, Bayley, Bianca Belair, Iyo Sky & Naomi
- The babyface team celebrated with each other after the match. Ripley, Bayley, Belair, Iyo and Naomi all climbed the WarGames cage and celebrated the win together.
(Amin’s Thoughts) — This was the weakest Women’s WarGames match since they’ve added the match concept to main roster PPVs. The opening moments of the match was not good at all. There were some very bad and weak looking chair shots which didn’t look good. The overall length of the match didn’t help. I still enjoyed watching the match. The interactions between Iyo and Tiffany were really fun to watch. The highlight was Iyo and Tiffany delivering their incredible dives from top of the WarGames cage. Ripley getting the win over Liv could likely set up a Women’s World Title match possibly for the Saturday Night Main Event special. Overall, a good Women’s WarGames match. (⭐️⭐️⭐️1/4)

(Amin’s Thoughts) — I really like Nakamura’s new presentations as it adds freshness to his character. The title change now gives Nakamura a bigger boost which adds more to his new presentation. I thought Knight had a good run as United States Champion. The fans are still behind Knight as a top level babyface star. Looking forward to see what’s next for Knight and hopefully leads to bigger things for him in WWE. The wrestling itself was fine. There was nothing wrong with the match. This felt like a standard television match you would see on Raw or SmackDown. (⭐️⭐️1/2)

(Amin’s Thoughts) — A very enjoyable Men’s WarGames match. Lots of great action with everyone getting a chance to shine. Bronson Reed and Jimmy Uso gave us the highlight reel with their incredible dives off the WarGames cage. There’s lots of moving pieces coming out of OG Bloodline winning. How does the new Bloodline react after Solo Sikoa took the pin for his team. You also want to see Reigns and Solo have their single’s match sooner rather than later. I’ve liked Solo’s work as the leader of the new Bloodline. Reigns and Sikoa doesn’t feel like a top WrestleMania match. The big story here was the tension between Reigns and Punk. This was really well done because now it makes you wonder what Seth Rollins is thinking seeing his former Shield partner Reigns shakes hands with his rival Punk. You can just feel the tension when Reigns and Punk are sharing the ring together because they both feel like they should have the top spot in WWE. Overall, a very fun enjoyable match. (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/4)
WWE Survivor Series: WarGames: Very Good
FINAL SCORE: 8 OUT OF 10
The Women’s WarGames match wasn’t on the stronger side but was still enjoyable to watch. They gave Nakamura’s new character a needed boost with the US Title win even if the match wasn’t anything great. Everything on the show starting from the IC Title match to the Men’s WarGames match ranged from very good to excellent. They left you with intrigue wanting to know what Punk’s favour to Heyman. An enjoyable show to watch.
