Tonight’s WWE NXT TakeOver: WarGames will take a place at TOYOTA CENTER HOUSTON, TX. The show will start at 8 E/ 5P on 18 Novmber 2017.
The wait is almost over. For the first time in 20 years, WarGames returns tonight! Three teams will enter two rings surrounded by a steel cage, but only one team can emerge victorious. Which squad will prevail in the barbaric battleground: Roderick Strong & The Authors of Pain, The Undisputed ERA or SAnitY?
The card for NXT TakeOver: War Games the night before Survivor Series is chalk full of exciting talent, compelling rivalries and one particularly noteworthy stipulation.
Here are the Preview For Tonight’s WWE NXT TakeOver: WarGames:
War Games: SAnitY vs. The Undisputed Era vs. The Authors of Pain & Roderick Strong
War Games matches of the past have featured some of the most identifiable names in the history of professional wrestling.
Adam Cole, Bobby Fish and Kyle O’Reilly — The Undisputed Era — have made quite an impact since their debut as a unit back at TakeOver: Brooklyn III. They’ve interfered in matches, blindsided opponents, orchestrated attacks and as such, have made a great deal of enemies. Six of those enemies in SAnitY, the Authors of Pain and Roderick Strong will be in the ring with them on Saturday.
Drew McIntyre (c) versus Andrade “Cien” Almas for the NXT championship
While it would be surprising to see the NXT championship change hands at TakeOver, one thing’s for sure: Both McIntyre and Almas have become two of the premier pieces within the NXT brand.
Ember Moon versus Nikki Cross versus Peyton Royce versus Kairi Sane for the NXT Women’s Championship
While the post-Asuka era technically began after her memorable NXT send-off in September, a new champion within the division has yet to be crowned. That will change at War Games when four of the most talented women in NXT clash to determine just the sixth women’s champion in the title’s three-plus year history.
Aleister Black vs. The Velveteen Dream
Aleister Black will go one on one with the Velveteen Dream. The rivalry has been built on Dream’s ability to showcase his flashy persona to perfection, counteracting the seemingly unflappable composure of his opponent.
Dream’s psychological aptitude has allowed him to get the better of Black on multiple occasions in the weeks leading up to TakeOver. The pinnacle of his command of the situation occurred a few weeks back when Dream tied Black up in the ring ropes, slapped him and exclaimed, “Say my name!” It brought the dispute to its boiling point.
Kassius Ohno vs. Lars Sullivan
This match seems like nothing more than a way to get the up and coming Sullivan on a big stage against a more credible opponent. Sullivan has been dominating his competition as of late and while Ohno should get his share of roaring elbows in, expect Sullivan to continue to roll towards more prominent programs.
