Cody Rhodes Reveals Fifth Member Of War Games Team After Losing Advantage On WWE Raw

The WarGames team of Drew McIntyre and The Judgment Day may have the advantage to start out the match at Survivor Series, but the team is also going to up against a viper.

McIntyre took on Jey Uso in a WarGames Advantage Match on “WWE Raw,” and won clean with a Future Shock DDT. With the win, The Judgment Day’s team will have the numbers advantage at the beginning of the match on Saturday. After the match and subsequent beat down, however, the opposing team ran down to the ring to help out their teammate. After they cleared the ring, Cody Rhodes got on the mic and announced that a friend with whom he has a “legacy” with would be joining their team. Rhodes said their final teammate is an “apex predator,” and while he didn’t outright say it would be Randy Orton will be backing them up on Saturday, he did hear the crowd’s “Randy” chants and add, “They’re right.”

Orton has been out of action for well over a year with a lower back injury that required surgery. Sidelined since May with an injury that had doctors telling him he would never wrestle again, Orton will make his return at the premium live event, which will emanate from the Allstate Arena in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont, Illinois.

CM Punk Teases Involvement In WarGames Match At WWE Survivor Series On Social Media

Next week, WWE will travel to Chicago, Illinois for their 37th annual Survivor Series event. Based on the location of this show, many wrestling fans have brought up the possibility of a major return – specifically that of former WWE Champion CM Punk. Despite previous reports stating that there are no talks between Punk and WWE, the “Second City Saint” continues to tease his involvement in the November 25 premium live event.

In one of his new Instagram stories, Punk shared an update on his Tuesday afternoon exercise session, revealing he had burned 666 calories. “Just working out!” the caption read. Upon closer inspection though, Punk also attached the song “War Pigs” by Faith No More, which is a cover of the official 2023 Survivor Series theme song, “War Pigs” by Black Sabbath. As of now, it remains to be seen if Punk’s teasers will result in a return to WWE, or if they’re simply a bluff. 

Following Monday’s episode of “WWE RAW,” Cody Rhodes’ team appears to be down a number heading into WarGames, fueling more speculation that Punk may resurface to fill that position. Recent reports, however, have pointed toward Randy Orton as the likely candidate for the final participant in the men’s WarGames match.

Roman Reigns Upset With Kevin Owens After Survivor Series WarGames

Roman Reigns was reportedly not happy following the Survivor Series WarGames main event. 

According to a report from Fightful Select, Reigns was said to be visibly upset backstage regarding what he perceived as an “unplanned spot” involving him and Kevin Owens. Reigns was overheard saying he may have a ruptured ear drum, and it was clear to those who witnessed the scene that he was not happy with what happened. 

Reigns did not take part in the post-event press conference as he was originally scheduled to. 

Talent spoken with by Fightful indicated they did not believe there would be any extended heat from what happened and that Reigns’ reaction was likely due to the heat of the moment. 

It is not clear what spot was the catalyst for Reigns becoming upset. The only spots Owens and Reigns worked with each other during the match came close to the end. Owens slapped Reigns, and then they exchanged strikes for a period. Roman hit a Superman Punch, and Owens hit a superkick, a pop-up powerbomb, and a stunner. Sami Zayn then broke up the pin leading to the finish, where Zayn hit a low blow and Helluva Kick on Owens.
