Post-Survivor Series Fallout: Injuries Loom Large After War Games Carnage

Survivor Series: War Games 2024 lived up to its chaotic reputation, delivering brutal action that left several participants battered and bruised. While the main event saw CM Punk and The Original Bloodline claim victory over The New Bloodline, the physical toll of the match was evident by the time the cage door closed.


Jimmy Uso Breaks Toe in High-Stakes Splash

In one of the night’s most jaw-dropping moments, Jimmy Uso leaped from the top of the cage to crash Jacob Fatu through a table with a devastating Uso Splash. While the crowd erupted in awe, the move came at a price—Jimmy reportedly broke his toe during the landing.

Post-match, Jimmy was seen being helped up the ramp by his brother Jey Uso and Sami Zayn, in a poignant display of teamwork and brotherhood. He shared a heartfelt embrace with Roman Reigns before the show went off the air, signaling both the physical and emotional weight of the contest.

Jey later confirmed Jimmy’s injury during WWE’s post-show coverage, but it remains unclear how much time the star may miss.


Bronson Reed Likely Sidelined After Cage Crash

Another harrowing moment came courtesy of Bronson Reed, whose attempt at his signature Tsunami Splash off the cage went horribly wrong. Reed aimed to put Roman Reigns through a table, but CM Punk managed to pull Reigns away at the last second, leaving Reed to crash through the table himself.

Reports from Fightful Select and post-show comments from Paul “Triple H” Levesque indicate that Reed is under medical evaluation, with concerns of a possible ankle injury. While the spot was designed to take him out of the match, the impact may have caused real damage, potentially sidelining the powerhouse for an extended period.


Jacob Fatu Scares Fans with Moonsault Mishap

Adding to the chaos, Jacob Fatu slipped during a moonsault attempt and appeared to tweak his knee. While the spot had fans and commentators concerned, reports confirm that Fatu was ultimately unharmed and chose to sell the injury as part of the story.


Punk, Reigns, and Others Escape Unscathed

Despite the physicality of the match, other major players like CM Punk, Roman Reigns, and Solo Sikoa managed to emerge without any reported injuries. Punk, in particular, played a pivotal role in the match’s conclusion, assisting Reigns in sealing the win with a Spear to Sikoa.


What’s Next for WWE’s War Games Warriors?

With multiple injuries casting a shadow over the night’s triumphs, the focus now shifts to the road ahead. Jimmy Uso’s status will be closely monitored, as his role within The Original Bloodline remains critical. Meanwhile, the potential absence of Bronson Reed could alter The New Bloodline’s momentum moving forward.

As for the victorious team, lingering tension between Punk and Reigns suggests that this alliance might be short-lived. The emotional embrace between Jimmy and Roman, combined with Reigns’ cautious respect for Punk, leaves fans speculating on the Tribal Chief’s next moves.

Ultimately, Rhea Ripley sealed the victory for her team with an avalanche Riptide through a table on Liv Morgan, securing a massive win for her squad.

Winner: Shinsuke Nakamura (new champion)


Bron Breakker (c) vs. Ludwig Kaiser vs. Sheamus – WWE Intercontinental Championship

Bron Breakker proved his dominance once again in a hard-hitting triple-threat match that left the crowd on their feet. Sheamus brought his trademark intensity, lighting up Kaiser and Breakker with Beats of the Bodhrán, while Kaiser’s cunning kept him in contention, including a near fall off a perfectly timed Square Hammer.

In the closing moments, Breakker delivered a jaw-dropping spear that sent Kaiser flying out of the ring before pinning Sheamus to retain the Intercontinental Championship. Despite the loss, both challengers left with momentum heading into the next chapter.

Winner: Bron Breakker (retains championship)


GUNTHER (c) vs. Damian Priest – WWE World Heavyweight Championship

The Ring General once again demonstrated why he’s considered one of the best in the world, weathering Damian Priest’s relentless offense to retain his title in a gritty, hard-fought battle. Priest came agonizingly close to victory, connecting with South of Heaven and a devastating Razor’s Edge. However, GUNTHER’s technical prowess and resilience won out.

A timely distraction from Finn Balor backfired on Priest, as GUNTHER locked in the Gojira Clutch, forcing referee stoppage to retain his World Heavyweight Championship.

Winner: GUNTHER (retains championship)


Men’s War Games Match: CM Punk & The Original Bloodline vs. The New Bloodline

The action was fierce and personal, with shocking moments including Bronson Reed’s 747 Splash off the cage, which left the ring in chaos.

The climax came when Reigns finally confronted Solo Sikoa, offering him a chance to rejoin the family. When Solo refused, the Usos, Zayn, and Punk unloaded with superkicks and finishers, setting Solo up for a devastating Go to Sleep from Punk, followed by a Spear from Reigns to end the match.

Post-match, the tension between Punk and Reigns lingered, but a show of mutual respect—punctuated by a handshake—left fans wondering if the Tribal Chief and the Best in the World might coexist after all.

Matt Riddle Makes Surprise TNA Debut at Turning Point

In a surprising turn of events, TNA fans were treated to an unexpected debut last night at Turning Point. Scheduled to compete in a six-man tag team match alongside Zachary Wentz and KUSHIDA, former X-Division Champion Trey Miguel was pulled from the card due to travel issues. However, as the old saying goes, “the show must go on.” Stepping in to fill the void was none other than the “King of Bros” himself, Matt Riddle.

This marked Riddle’s first appearance in TNA, and he made an immediate impact teaming up with Wentz and KUSHIDA to take on the formidable trio of TNA World Tag Team Champions The Hardys (Matt and Jeff Hardy) and Ace Austin. While Riddle and his team worked well together, they ultimately fell short against the dominant champions, who secured the win.

A Star-Studded Career Continues to Expand

Riddle’s arrival in TNA adds another chapter to what has been an exciting career since his departure from WWE last year. Currently a major player in MLW, Riddle has been riding a wave of momentum, establishing himself as one of the company’s top stars. At Battle RIOT VI this past June, he became the number one contender for the MLW World Championship, earning the right to face reigning champion Satoshi Kojima at Kings of Colosseum on January 11. This high-stakes match will be Riddle’s second attempt to claim the prestigious title, having previously fallen short to Swerve Strickland in the 2018 Road to the World Championship finals.

Beyond MLW, Riddle’s wrestling résumé continues to impress. Earlier this year, he claimed the NJPW World Television Championship in a hard-fought battle against Hiroshi Tanahashi, holding the title for an impressive 49 days. He’s also made appearances in AAA and a host of independent promotions, showcasing his versatility and undeniable charisma.

What’s Next for Riddle in TNA?

Riddle’s TNA debut raises intriguing questions about his future with the company. Will this be a one-off appearance, or does it hint at a larger role in TNA’s plans moving forward? With his star power and impressive in-ring abilities, Riddle could become a valuable addition to the roster if he chooses to explore this new avenue.

As for now, all eyes remain on his upcoming MLW World Championship match, but fans won’t soon forget his explosive debut at Turning Point. Could this be the beginning of another wrestling chapter for the “King of Bros”? Only time will tell.
