Shocking Names Planned For WarGames Matches At WWE Survivor Series — Report

WWE has some shocking names planned to be involved in next monthâ€s WarGames match at Survivor Series.

Gone are the days of the old school Survivor Series matches in favor of WarGames. The match type was implemented in the event in 2022. And it has become the focal point of WWEâ€s November premium live event.

With WarGames quickly approaching, we have an early report about who the company plans to feature in this yearâ€s matches. And two of the names are downright shocking.

According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, these were the plans for the menâ€s and womenâ€s WarGames matches as of one week ago:

Menâ€s WarGames match: CM Punk, Roman Reigns, Jacob Fatu, Jimmy Uso, and either LA Knight or Jimmy Uso vs. Seth Rollins, Bronson Reed, Bron Breakker, Brock Lesnar, and Austin Theory

Womenâ€s WarGames match: AJ Lee, Rhea Ripley, IYO SKY, Alexa Bliss, and Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch, Asuka, Kairi Sane, Nia Jax, and Lash Legend

The addition of Austin Theory and Lash Legend is particularly shocking. As Theory has been sidelined with an injury for quite some time, while Legend is still working regularly in NXT.

A potential red herring?

Itâ€s worth noting that Meltzer believes some of this will change. This is something many have speculated on since WWE Unreal put a bigger spotlight on creative happenings in recent months. Itâ€s very possible that Theory and Legend being listed for these matches are just red herrings to hide who the company really has planned. However, this is far from confirmed.

For what itâ€s worth, Fightfulâ€s Sean Ross Sapp (via Fightful Select) also looked into this report and was told that it was one of the options they are considering heading into the event.

Stay tuned to WrestleZone for more information as it becomes available.
