Tomorrow is WWE Survivor Series, featuring War Games: The Match Beyond. It’s available on the WWE Network and Peacock with a special starting time of 6:00 pm. That means it’s prediction time. I’m Doug and I’m channeling my inner Miss Cleo. Let’s see what the future holds for WWE as they go to war.

War Games: The Match Beyond.
Roman Reigns, The Usos (Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso), Sami Zayn, and CM Punk (with Paul Heyman) vs. The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa) and Bronson Reed.

The biggest question here is can the OG Bloodline trust CM Punk? Can Paul Heyman be trusted? Will any new members debut? And will everyone be feeling Ucey? I’m expecting a banger of a match. Bronson Reed has promised online something no one has ever seen before so I’m expecting someone to get Tsunamied from off the top of the cage. This match won’t end the feud with Roman and Solo and their allies, but I think it will be a major reset many things will change. I don’t think Heyman will turn on his Tribal Chief… yet! Punk and Roman will get along for the duration of this one match. Jey Uso will say YEET! And I expect the OG Bloodline to take a beating, but come out with the win.

Winners: Roman Reigns, The Usos, Sami Zayn, and CM Punk w/ Paul Heyman.

World Heavyweight Championship.
Gunther (c) vs. Damian Priest.

With Gunther overcome his inner insecurities and retain his title, or will we enter a new era with a second title reign by Damian Priest? Priest has looked so badass over the past few weeks during the build for this match, I think the outcome is pretty obvious. The Ring General finds the right strategy, regroups and rebounds for the victory.

Winner and STILL WWE World Champion: Gunther.

War Games: The Match Beyond.
Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, Naomi, Iyo Sky, and Bayley vs. The Judgment Day (Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez), Nia Jax, Tiffany Stratton, and Candice LeRae.

Jade Cargill has been taken out and despite the wishes of Bianca, Bayley has stepped up to take her spot. Can Liv Morgan and Nia Jax get along? And what about Tiffany and her MITB contract? Will she take advantage of the chaos and confusion created by being in War Games? Will Rhea get her hands on Liv? Will Dominik Mysterio get involved? A lot is going on here and although I’m not sure if the women belong inside a double cage, I’m sure they’ll kill it and put on an amazing spectacle of a match. It’s a tough call predicting a winner for this one, but I’ll go with the gut. Look for the heels to win.

Winners: The Judgment Day (Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez), Nia Jax, Tiffany Stratton, and Candice LeRae.

Triple Threat – WWE Intercontinental Championship.
Bron Breakker (c) vs. Sheamus vs. Ludwig Kaiser.

Talk about a match that should be a banger and has the potential to steal the show. This one should be it. It should be stiff and brutal and one for the ages. I’d love to see Sheamus win the Intercontinental Championship, given that it’s the one title in WWE he’s never held, but I don’t think now is the time. Look for Breakker to keep his belt.

Winner and STILL Intercontinental Champion: Bron Breakker.

United States Championship.
LA Knight (c) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen Nakamura inside a WWE ring, and he’s back looking for gold, preferably at the expense of LA Knight. This one is tough for me because LA Knight hasn’t been doing anything as the United States Champion. I think he needs to drop the belt and regroup. But is Shinsuke the man destined to take that belt away from him? Or is Shinsuke just another notch in the pole while the LA Knight experiment continues? I think we’ll see a new champion.

Winner and NEW United States Champion: Shinsuke Nakamura.

And there you go with my predictions for the WWE Survivor Series: War Games. It’s going to be an awesome show. So, what are your thoughts and predictions for this event? Let me know in the comments. And with that, I’m out of here. Thanks for reading and the continued support. I’ll see you at the matches.
