Matches
NXT Champion Drew McIntyre vs. Andrade “Cien” Almas
NXT Champion Drew McIntyre will put his title on the line tonight at TakeOver: WarGames against the red-hot Andrade “Cien” Almas.
Over the last few months, Almas has been on an incredible winning streak, turning his previous misfortunes completely around thanks in large part to Zelina Vega coming back into his life.
Vega – who is acting as Almas’ business manager – has done everything from offer up a timely in-ring distraction to ordering Almas when to strike. Simply put, Vega has kept Almas’ focus on the prize: the NXT Championship.
If Almas and Vega want to claim the coveted title, it’s going to take the performance of a lifetime. Since coming to NXT, McIntyre has shown no signs of slowing down. Having reached his goal of claiming the NXT Title, the Scottish Superstar is determined to be a champion the NXT Universe can be proud of. And that means being a fighting champion.
Over recent weeks, the outspoken Vega made multiple attempts to get a title opportunity for her client by egging on McIntyre, who in response demanded Almas challenge him to his face. Following the Oct. 25 episode of NXT, McIntyre finally had heard enough from the trash talking Almas and Vega, taking to Twitter to declare that he would meet Almas face-to-face the following week. This prompted General Manager William Regal to step in via Twitter and make a title showdown between the two adversaries official.
As a result, two of the world’s most talented in-ring competitors will face off at TakeOver: WarGames to see who will be crowned NXT Champion. Don’t miss Drew McIntyre vs. Andrade “Cien” Almas for the NXT Title, streaming live on WWE Network tonight at 8 ET/5PT.
SAnitY vs. The Undisputed ERA vs. The Authors of Pain & Roderick Strong (Triple Threat WarGames Match)
The highly popular WarGames Match is back, and it’s returning in the biggest way imaginable.
Tonight at NXT TakeOver: WarGames, the teams of SAnitY, The Undisputed ERA and The Authors of Pain & Roderick Strong will wage war inside the hellacious steel structure that surrounds not one, but two rings.
The WarGames Match is as barbaric as it is historic, dating back to the days of the NWA before becoming a staple in WCW. The unique and unforgiving contest features two rings, side-by-side, surrounded by a giant steel cage. At TakeOver: WarGames in Houston, each group selects one member to start the bout inside the cage, while the remaining team members are locked inside shark cages by the entranceway. After five minutes, the final two members from one team enter the match, giving that group a brief yet brutal advantage. Three minutes later, the second team’s members are released, followed by the final team’s competitors following another three-minute period. Once all nine Superstars are inside the ruthless steel structure, the first competitor to pick up a pinfall or submission earns the victory for his side.

This showdown has been months in the making, starting after Adam Cole, Bobby Fish & Kyle O’Reilly attacked NXT Tag Team Champions SAnitY and NXT Champion Drew McIntyre at TakeOver: Brooklyn III. The talented trio made it clear that they intended to shock the system of the black-and-yellow brand, and they did just that, shaking NXT to its very core. Their actions drew the ire of Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe & Killian Dain, who sought not only chaos, but retribution. However, it was the returning Authors of Pain, seeking their own payback from SAnitY for taking their titles, that would turn NXT into a warzone.
On the Nov. 1 episode of WWE NXT, all hell broke loose during SAniTy’s NXT Tag Team Title defense against The Authors of Pain as The Undisputed ERA interrupted the contest before Akam & Rezar could pick up the potential win. Adding to the mayhem was the arrival of Roderick Strong. For weeks, The Undisputed ERA had seemingly been recruiting Strong, but when The Messiah of the Backbreaker had convinced the trio he would join their ranks, he unleashed his own assault on them.
NXT General Manager William Regal had seen enough of the pure bedlam. At that point, he declared that SAnitY, The Undisputed ERA and The Authors of Pain & Roderick Strong would battle in a three-team WarGames Match in Houston.
With WarGames returning for the first time in more than 20 years, you can expect to see pain, chaos and, yes, a shock to the system. It all goes down at TakeOver: WarGames tonight on the award-winning WWE Network.
NXT Women’s Championship Fatal 4-Way Match
A new NXT Women’s Champion will be crowned at TakeOver: WarGames when Kairi Sane, Ember Moon, Peyton Royce and SAnitY’s Nikki Cross do battle in a Fatal 4-Way Match for the vacant title.
For weeks, the NXT Universe watched with baited breath as new contenders qualified for the hotly anticipated title showdown, which determines Asuka’s successor as the NXT Women’s Champion.
Asuka’s countrymate, Kairi Sane of Japan, was the first Superstar named to the match. The Pirate Princess, a newcomer to NXT, earned the right after triumphing in the inaugural Mae Young Classic. Royce and Moon both qualified by claiming victories in Triple Threat Matches, while Cross earned her berth by winning a massive Battle Royal on the Oct. 25 edition of NXT.
The NXT Women’s Title has been vacant since Asuka chose to relinquish the championship on Sept. 6, bringing a close to The Empress of Tomorrow’s historic 523-day reign.
With the table finally set for what’s destined to be an epic encounter, the only thing left to do is count down the days until TakeOver: WarGames. Witness history in the making when the next edition of NXT’s critically acclaimed TakeOver series streams live tonight at 8 ET/5 PT, exclusively on the award-winning WWE Network.
Aleister Black vs. Velveteen Dream
Velveteen Dream has succeeded in getting Aleister Black’s attention, but come NXT Takeover WarGames, the purple-clad provocateur might wish that he hadn’t.
Black issued his most forceful response to the Dream’s campaign on the Nov. 1 edition of NXT, proclaiming that he will make sure the NXT Universe never forgets Velveteen Dream's name at TakeOver: WarGames.
The Dutch destroyer’s strong words came a week after Velveteen Dream blindsided him and ran him into the steel ring steps. Velveteen Dream then tied Black’s arms in the ring ropes, slapped him in the face and demanded he utter the Dream’s name. The ambush made Black, who is undefeated in NXT competition, look more vulnerable than the NXT Universe has ever seen him.
Black has maintained a steely composure while racking up one of NXT’s best win-loss records, so picking a fight with the black-metal mutilator might seem like a recipe for disaster. Yet, the Dream is a Superstar unlike any other. Beyond all the head games and unorthodox antics, he remains among the brand’s most gifted competitors. Could his outrageous bid for recognition simply be a ploy to keep one step ahead of the death-metal mutilator? Perhaps just as importantly, will Velveteen Dream make Black say his name in Houston?
Watch this compelling rivalry come to a head when NXT TakeOver: WarGames streams live tonight at 8 ET/5 PT, exclusively on the award-winning WWE Network.
Kassius Ohno vs. Lars Sullivan
In a match that WWE Hall of Famer announcer Jim Ross might term a “slobberknocker,” NXT’s resident Knockout Artist, Kassius Ohno, will battle the behemoth known as Lars Sullivan at NXT TakeOver: WarGames.
Surprisingly, this match came about at the request of Ohno, who sought out General Manager William Regal on the Nov. 8 episode of NXT in hopes moving into NXT Title contention. Currently riding an impressive winning streak, The Knockout Artist wants to show Regal that he is worthy of such an opportunity by toppling the 300-plus pound Sullivan.
Since arriving in NXT and showing that he can’t play nice with others by routinely destroying his own tag team partners, Sullivan has put together his own winning streak, proving to be unstoppable in singles competition. The hulking Superstar has powered his way past the likes of No Way Jose, Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch, competitors who are all known for their ability to unleash a hard-hitting attack.
If there is one Superstar in NXT who could overcome Sullivan’s size and strength, however, it’s Ohno. The highly-acclaimed striker’s Rolling Elbow is a finishing move that — if it lands on the jaw of Sullivan — could be enough to keep the brute down for the three-count.
Will Ohno KO the seemingly impervious Sullivan? Or will the ravenous Sullivan beat down The Knockout Artist’s hopes of fighting his way into NXT Title contention? No matter the outcome, the NXT Universe is in store for a slugfest of epic proportions.
Watch Kassius Ohno collide with Lars Sullivan tonight at TakeOver: WarGames, live on the award-winning WWE Network.

Ottimo ppv, match godibilissimi e risultati non scontati.
Note sparse:
- Ohno vs Sullivan nonostante il booking con finale affrettato non è stato malaccio. Due brawler massicci che si sono legnati per bene, va bene cosi.
- Black vs Velveteen Dream buono. Il vecchio Tommy End potrebbe tirar fuori un buon match anche se combattesse contro un manichino, ma è anche vero che l'avversario, Patrick Clark ndr, sta maturando sul ring nonostante il suo personaggio mi sembra un "vorrei ma non posso" in conformità della PG Era.
- Bene il match femminile. Minutaggio scarso a parte, tutte buone prestazioni. Contento per il titolo a Moon.
- McIntyre vs Almas molto molto buono. Forse lo scozzese ha perso il titolo troppo presto, spero in una rivincita se il presunto infortunio dovesse rivelarsi una sciocchezza.
- War Games Match: Ottimo. Onestamente non l'avevo mai visto e temevo in un caos generale senza precedenti, invece è stato bookato alla grande. Menzione speciale per Killian Dain, che si è rivelato l'asso nella manica del SaniTy. Ottima prestazione di tutti e 3 quelli della New Era, mi aspettavo di più da Roderick Strong.
Nel complesso ppv promosso a pieni voti, un 8 bello ciccione. |

Quoto praticamente tutto, secondo me ottimo il cambio di titolo, Andrade è lanciatissimo e la Vega una manager come non se ne vedono da un po'. Spiace per l'infortunio di Drew, già al momento della DDT sì vedeva che c'era qualcosa di storto. Se dovesse andare per le lunghe secondo me lo rivediamo direttamente nel main, ha tutto per sfondare.
Main event fichissimo, Wolf in una pozza di sangue ha messo il War in War Games. Donne corto ma piacevole, avrei preferito campionessa Peyton ma ci sta premiare Ember. |

Speravo anch'io in peyton royce ma a sto punto non mi stupirei di vedere l'iconic duo nel main roster
Comunque condivido buon ppv, alla vigilia trovavo fuori posto il match tra black ed il velveteen dream invece è stato piacevole ed hanno raccontato bene la storia tra i due. Il cambio di titolo non me l'aspettavo completamente ma Andrade è in uno stato di grazia da quando ha fatto l'heel turn e l'accostamento della Vega è stata un ulteriore spinta al suo personaggio, non posso che accogliere positivamente la cosa
Buono il main event, alla fine il turn di Strong non c'è stato e probabilmente andrà avanti contro Cole. Mi chiedo piuttosto se continuerà insieme agli AoP oppure no, più che altro questo accostamento sa tanto di forzato perché serviva un terzo a questo team, quindi vedremo che succede non escluderei nemmeno un debutto di questi due nel main in tempi brevi
Nella prossima puntata di Nxt andrà in scena invece Gargano contro Pete Dunne, match tranquillamente da takeover |
