The main event of the WWE NXT “Takeover: Houston” event on November 18th during WWE Survivor Series weekend will be a two-ring War Games match. This will be the first War Games match since WCW used it years ago.

NXT General Manager William Regal announced at tonight’s tapings, in a segment that should air on November 1st, that it will be NXT Tag Team Champions SAnitY (Eric Young, Killian Dain, Alexander Wolfe) vs. Roderick Strong & The Authors of Pain (Akam, Rezar) vs. The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly, Bobby Fish) in the match. No word yet on if the titles will be on the line.

It also appears that Takeover will feature NXT Champion Drew McIntyre defending his title against Andrade “Cien” Almas in the co-main event.

As noted before, the Fatal 4 Way for the vacant NXT Women’s Title at Takeover will feature Nikki Cross vs. Peyton Royce vs. Ember Moon vs. Kairi Sane.

Stay tuned for more updates on the Takeover card and full spoilers from tonight’s tapings.


Big news. War Games is back. Not too fussed on the McIntyre vs Almas announcement though. Womens match should be good.

WWE has announced the rules for this month's NXT TakeOver "War Games" special:

The WarGames Match returns at NXT TakeOver: WarGames in Houston, and WWE.com has the official rules for the massive three-team showdown.

It has been a while – almost 20 years, in fact – since fans have been able to experience a live WarGames Match, so consider this a refresher course. There are also a few added wrinkles to this epic match that you may not see when watching past WarGames clashes on the award-winning WWE Network.

The rules of the match are as follows:

  • The three-member teams of SAnitY (Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe & Killian Dain), Undisputed ERA (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish & Kyle O’Reilly), and The Authors of Pain (Akam & Rezar) & Roderick Strong will wage war inside a massive steel cage that surrounds TWO rings.
  • All three teams will be contained inside separate shark cages by the entranceway, with a member from each team (as chosen by his respective squad) starting the match.
  • After five minutes, the remaining members from one team will be released from their shark cage and allowed to enter the match.
  • When another three-minute period elapses, the remaining members from a second team are released from their shark cage and enter the match.
  • Following another three-minute period, the final team’s members are released from their shark cage and enter the match.
  • Once all three teams have entered the WarGames Match, a victory can be attained via pinfall or submission.

If you get a chance to see some of the War Games matches posted on WWE Network I would recommend watching them. It's a really fun concept.

Can't say I've ever seen a War Games match. Obviously heard all about them, yet somehow missed them in all my years watching wrestling. Will have to check some of the older ones out for sure.
