WWE Survivor Collection: WarGames 2024 predictions

Males’s WarGames Match: Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Sami Zayn & CM Punk vs. Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa & Bronson Reed

I am unsure how WWE will justify it, however I feel Paul Heyman betrays Reigns. It would not be the primary time he is deserted a shopper. I am in all probability studying into issues an excessive amount of, however the wink he gave Jimmy Uso and his Sikoa-inspired swimsuit make me suppose the repair is in. The Bloodline is not going anyplace anytime quickly, so it behooves artistic to aspect with the recent, tightly-knit unit. Decide: Sikoa’s Bloodline wins — Shakiel Mahjouri

The right story beat right here is for Sikoa’s squad to get the win. Reigns’ aspect ought to be chasing and chasing till we lastly hit Reigns in full underdog mode when he goes one-on-one with Sikoa. That stated, a workforce with Reigns, the Usos, Zayn and Punk is fairly stacked and arrange in a approach that looks like extra of a “ship the followers dwelling completely satisfied” scenario than to easily hit the best subsequent level within the story. Add in that Sikoa’s workforce already obtained the win within the six-man tag match at Crown Jewel and WWE’s love of fifty/50 reserving and we’ll roll with the “Authentic Bloodline” to emerge with the win. Decide: Reigns’ Bloodline wins — Brent Brookhouse

Ladies’s WarGames Match: Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, Naomi, Iyo Sky & Bayley vs. Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Nia Jax, Tiffany Stratton & Candice LeRae

This ladies’s WarGames match exists for 2 causes: to present the ladies a branded match, and to present a swath of prime performers time on a significant pay-per-view. Morgan and Jax have gotten one of the best of their rivals recently, so this looks like a great, low-stakes approach to give the fan favorites a win. For that cause, I am going to aspect with the heroes. Decide: Ripley, Belair, Naomi, Sky & Bayley — Mahjouri (additionally Brookhouse)

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

WWE has finished a extremely good job telling this story, with Priest truly seeming to have Gunther shook by his calm confidence. Gunther has additionally gave the impression to be flirting with a flip to the babyface aspect. Nearly as good because the promos have been from Priest, it is borderline unimaginable that WWE would flip the title from Gunther again to Priest so quickly. There’s been loads of drama within the lead-up to this match, however there is no such thing as a drama in who will stroll away from Survivor Collection with the title. Decide: Gunther retains the title — Brookhouse (additionally Mahjouri)

Intercontinental Championship: Bron Breakker (c) vs. Sheamus vs. Ludwig Kaiser

Breakker ought to win. He virtually actually will win. However WWE has an opportunity to repay the thought of Sheamus profitable the one belt that has eluded him his whole profession with out doing any harm to Breakker. Personally, I like the thought of the intercontinental title shifting round continuously for some time, particularly after so many prolonged title reigns in current WWE historical past. Sheamus might decide up the win by pinning Kaiser, resulting in Breakker needing to chase the belt once more and with the gasoline that he wasn’t even the person who was pinned to lose it. For as soon as, we’re going with a decide of what we wish to see over what we expect we are going to see. Decide: Sheamus wins the title — Brookhouse (additionally Mahjouri)

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

It provides me no pleasure to say that Knight’s U.S. title reign has largely been filler. There’s possibly no higher instance than Nakamura getting back from a seven-month absence and being instantly inserted right into a title program with a one-week construct. Knight has been underutilized as a champion, however that is an issue for administration to unravel. Knight ought to win this one. Decide: LA Knight retains the title — Mahjouri (additionally Brookhouse)
