It began with Starrcade and now it’s continuing with NXT War Games … because the company announced on Wednesday that the famous match will take place at TakeOver: Houston.
The announcement was made at the NXT TV tapings when William Regal said The Undisputed Era, SAnitY and The Authors of Pain with Roderick Strong would face-off in a War Games match.
For those unfamiliar, the match features two rings surrounded by steel cages.
WWE had been interested in bringing back successful WCW properties for live events/network specials. That got confirmed when Starrcade was announced.

If you get a letter back from Santa Claus this year, it may be because of a gift from a former pro wrestler.
Mick Foley, a World Wrestling Entertainment hall of famer, made a $1,000 donation to the Santa Claus Museum & Village in Spencer County, Indiana, officials with the non-profit said on Monday.
“Elves” at the museum answer letters to Santa every year — it’s been done in the community since 1914 — but it comes at a significant cost.
Foley, who became famous wrestling under names like Mankind, Dude Love and Cactus Jack, will visit the museum to read and sign his new book, “Saint Mick: My Journey from Hardcore Legend to Santa’s Jolly Elf.” Foley’s visit will take place Tuesday, Nov. 7 at 6 p.m. CST.
Admission to the event is free, but seating is limited.
Foley “truly embodies the spirit of Christmas and we look forward to hosting him,” said museum director Emily Thompson.
In a news release, museum officials describe Foley as a “wearer of the red suit.”

As noted, WWE announced on Tuesday that Shayna Baszler has officially signed with the company and reported to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando. There’s speculation that she may make her WWE NXT TV debut at tonight’s Full Sail University tapings. WWE posted this video of The Queen of Spades arriving to the building and talking about her journey.
The former UFC star says she did everything there was to do in fighting as she hit a point where she was just going through the motions when fighting someone. Baszler says it was time to move on to the next step and in wrestling, WWE is the next step. Baszler also says she wants to become the absolute best to represent her coaches in the best way possible.

If you were confused by Bray Wyatt‘s Sister Abigail promo during Raw this week, we’ve got the explanation you’re looking for below … but warning, spoilers lie ahead.
Sources with direct knowledge tell Pro Wrestling Sheet the current plan is for Wyatt to wrestle at TLC using the name “Sister Abigail” — similar to how Finn Balor becomes The Demon — and he’d wear a different outfit.
From what we’re being told, WWE is NOT planning to introduce a female character with the name.
For those who missed it, Wyatt transformed into a scarecrow-like character last night during a backstage promo directed at Balor and a female voice could be heard laughing alongside his.
No word on whether the match will have any sort of additional gimmick attached.

Pro Wrestling Sheet reports Brandi Rhodes will be appearing as a cast member with ROH champ Cody on a Atlanta spinoff of the popular reality series WAGS.
Production sources say Brandi will be heavily featured in the upcoming season of WAGS Atlanta and her husband Cody Rhodes has been involved in the filming as well.
Her wrestling career will be one of the focal points of Brandi’s story arc and they recently filmed her match against Kelly Klein at the ROH tapings which took place at Center Stage.
If you do some further digging on social media, you’ll notice a not-fully official “Wags Tea” account has started commenting on her Instagram photos as well.
E! hasn’t announced a premiere date, but they did say the show would hit airwaves in the fall.
