The men’s and women’s WarGames matches were set up on Raw
yesterday in two different ways.
The men’s match was set up first in a backstage segment
between CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, and Jey Uso. This was after
Punk had a brawl in the ring with The Vision earlier and
both Uso and Rhodes joined in to even the odds for Punk.
In the backstage segment, Punk complained to Raw GM Adam
Pearce and told him that he was tired of these games. Pearce
asked Punk if he’s thinking what he’s thinking and Punk
called for William Regal, who entered the frame simply to
scream “WarGames!”
The women’s match was set up after The Kabuki Warriors
defeated Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair to become the new
WWE Women’s Tag Team champions.
The heels, joined by Nia Jax and Lash Legend, beat up on
Bliss and Flair and then Iyo Sky came out to somewhat clean
house until she got clobbered in the face by Legend. As the
heels regained control, Rhea Ripley returned – wearing a
face mask due to a broken nose – and helped get the
advantage. Ripley then grabbed the mic and also screamed
“WarGames” at her opponents.
