WWE has announced today that Survivor Series will feature both men's and women's WarGames matches. The Premium Live Event - rebranded as Survivor Series WarGames - will take place on Saturday, November 26 from TD Garden in Boston.
Triple H, who is now in charge of creative and talent relations in the wake of Vince McMahon's departure, made the news official during an interview with The Ringer.
"The tradition of the Survivor Series has ebbed and flowed and changed slightly over time, but this will be similar to that," The Game explained. "This will not be RAW versus SmackDown. It will be much more story-line driven. I still look at it as a traditional component of Survivor Series there because it's large teams of people competing."
"We just upped the ante a little bit with WarGames and made it evolve," he concluded.
Fans have spent years hoping Triple H would get the chance to bring WarGames to the main roster, but it appeared Vince wasn't keen on the idea. That's likely because it was a staple of NWA and WCW and not something he created. This marks the first time in history that WarGames matches will take place on a WWE-branded event after previously happening in NXT.
Both matches will feature teams of WWE Superstars stepping inside a massive steel cage surrounding two rings. The match begins with one member from each team facing off, before additional competitors are added every few minutes thereafter. Once all Superstars have entered WarGames, a victory can be attained via pinfall or submission.
We're guessing The Bloodline will be involved in the men's bout, and it's going to be very exciting watching how these matches come together as we get closer to the event later this year.
As noted, Survivor Series WarGames will take place on November 26, later this year!
