Top WWE WarGames Matches to Watch

Alright, let's huddle up and talk about the absolute spectacle that is WWE's WarGames, the main event that's turned Survivor Series from a nostalgic Thanksgiving tradition into must-see TV. This isn't your granddad's Survivor Series, folks; since its full-scale introduction in 2022, WarGames has become the most brutal, chaotic, and narratively rich stipulation on the main roster, a double-ringed, caged beast that WWE acquired the rights to way back in 2001 from WCW, with NXT brilliantly reviving it in 2017 to test the waters.Think of it like the NBA's play-in tournament—it initially felt like a gimmick, but now it's an essential, high-stakes part of the season that can make or break a superstar's year. The beauty of WarGames is in its structure, a masterclass in building tension: two teams, two rings enclosed by a massive steel cage, and a staggered entry that gives the advantage to the team that won the coin toss, creating those agonizing moments of a 2-on-1 or 3-on-2 beatdown that feels straight out of a season-finale cliffhanger of your favorite drama.It’s pure, unfiltered sports entertainment, blending athleticism with storytelling in a way that a standard singles match just can't match. You want drama? Look no further than the 2022 men's match, where The Bloodline, at the absolute peak of their powers, faced a ragtag team of Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, Drew McIntyre, and the Brawling Brutes.This wasn't just a match; it was the culmination of months of storytelling, with Sami's eventual turn on Roman Reigns being one of the most electric moments in recent memory, a pop that rivaled any Stone Cold beer truck moment. Then you've got the 2023 women's edition, a brutal affair featuring Damage CTRL, Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Shotzi, which was less a wrestling match and more a war of attrition that solidified the heel faction's dominance.These matches matter because they serve as the explosive climax to long-running feuds, the kind of blow-off that resets the entire landscape of Raw and SmackDown. It’s the equivalent of a Game 7, where legacies are forged in steel and superstars are either made or broken under the immense pressure.For the fans, it’s a holiday tradition reinvented, a chaotic, beautiful mess that delivers on the promise of larger-than-life characters colliding in an environment where anything can, and usually does, happen. So, when Survivor Series rolls around, forget the turkey; the real main course is the controlled chaos inside that unforgiving steel structure.
