The first episode of Monday Night RAW after Crown Jewel ended with a massive blowout between Judgment Day and Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso, Sami Zayn, and Seth Rollins. After Rollins retained his title from Zayn, Judgment Day decided to crash the party. This led the RAW General Manager, Adam Pearce, to issue a match for the upcoming PLE Survivor Series WarGames.

This is the first WarGame concept match scheduled for Survivor Series to take place on November 25, 2023.

The hype train leading up to Survivor Series WarGames is going full speed ahead towards November 25, 2023. The ending of this week’s Monday Night RAW added fuel to that train’s raging fire. RAW General Manager Adam Pearce announced a match for the upcoming PLE.

The match will feature Rhodes, Jey Uso, and Sami Zayn, taking on the Judgment Day in a WarGames match at Survivor Series. This got the fans hyped. After the show ended, the WWE put out promotional work for the PLE with Rhodes on the cover, front and center. This will be Rhodes’ first WarGames match.

The feud between Rhodes and the Judgment Day has been ongoing since Jey Uso came to Monday Night RAW. The heel group wanted to recruit Jey, who was against the idea. Upon being rejected, JD wanted to teach Jey a lesson. This is where Rhodes came to his rescue and formed a bond that won the Tag Team Championships at Fastlane 2023.

However, JD has not taken their eyes away from Rhodes or Jey. The group has ensured that they would not let Rhodes or Jey prevail in the WWE. After winning their titles back, JD has all the gold in the WWE, while Jey and Rhodes have been trying to get it back.

WarGames match history and concept

WarGames is a unique match-type set inside a steel cage. It has been a staple in the world of professional wrestling, away from the WWE. This thrilling match typically features two teams, each comprised of four, five, or more wrestlers, locked inside a steel cage that spans two rings placed side by side.

The inception of the WarGames match can be credited to the mind of Dusty Rhodes in 1987. Initially introduced in Jim Crockett Promotions (JCP) of the National Wrestling Alliance, this match type became an annual tradition in World Championship Wrestling (WCW), frequently occurring at the Fall Brawl pay-per-view event.
