Summary

NXT TakeOver: War Games Rarely is there ever a TakeOver that doesn’t deliver the goods and everyone definitely kept up the tradition this time.  The War Games match itself was a hard-hitting, and slightly hard to follow, affair. The Undisputed Era looked great, Roddy Strong was an adorable little member of the Authors of Pain and SaNitY looked as crazy as ever. But that crazy match over-shadowed that Andrade “Cien” Almas is the NEW NXT Champion! He completed one of the strongest career turn-arounds in recent memory. How excited are we? We’ll talk about it. And every year, there always seems to be one person from NXT that steps up their game and raises their stock to a new high. This year, that was Velveteen Dream. He lost to Aleister Black, but he won the hearts of millions, including all of us. All of that, plus a look at the brand new NXT women’s champion, Ember Moon! Survivor Series It may be the least loved of WWE’s Big 4 PPV’s but Survivor Series week had a TON of great matches! But let’s be real, the worst one was the main event on Sunday. Between Triple H “turning” on his team, Shane chasing away Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens and Shinsuke Nakamura and Bobby Roode being the first two people eliminated, this wasn’t the best showcase for the current stars of the WWE. But there was still plenty to enjoy, including the best Brock Lesnar match yet against AJ Styles. And this has also been a big week for the Shield! The trio beat the New Day and Roman Reigns won the Intercontinental Championship from the Miz, becoming the second Shield member to be a Grand Slam Champion. But why is that this reunion feels a bit… lesser than we expected it to? Luckily, the women’s roster is staying new and exciting! After two great matches on Sunday, we’ve had SIX new stars added to the main roster: ON RAW, Paige, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville made their presence felt and on Smackdown, Ruby Riot, Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan made their debuts. How do we make sure every one of them is showcased properly and not lost in the shuffle? All that and plenty more in this look at what we loved most and why from an exhaustive 12+ hours of wrestling this past week. Hosted by Danielle Radford, Mike Eagle and Lindsey Kelk Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun.
