This past weekend’s Survivor Series: WarGames showcased an intense main event featuring ten of the wrestling world’s biggest stars. The team comprising Bron Breaker, Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Drew McIntyre, and Brock Lesnar triumphed over the likes of Roman Reigns, The Usos, WWE World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk, and WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.
At the heart of the action were Reigns and Punk, who were involved in a triple threat match at WrestleMania alongside Seth Rollins, the creator behind The Vision. Their feud has been ongoing for months and included Breaker, Reed, and Lesnar, who all played significant roles in the recent clashes. Notably, Rollins was vying for the World Heavyweight Title, which was in Jey Uso’s possession at the time, further complicating the situation. Fans should also note that Reigns and The Usos are cousins in real life.
The outcome at Crown Jewel, where Rollins and The Vision overcame Rhodes, made it particularly noteworthy that Rhodes participated in WarGames. Over recent months, McIntyre has been in a rivalry with Rhodes over the championship, harboring old grievances with Punk, Reigns, and The Usos. Breaker notably shone by targeting Punk, getting closer than anyone else to snatching away his title. After a feud with Reed, Breaker managed to claim the title from Rollins’ body but had to relinquish it under Adam Pearce’s direction, setting the stage for Punk and Jey to battle for it, with Punk ultimately winning.
Reed appears to be gearing up to chase a title opportunity, especially with Jey likely becoming Punk’s main ally soon. Ironically, as the two could end up going against each other for that shot, Breaker’s victory was aided by an unidentified masked individual who utilized Rollins’ Curb Stomp to secure Punk’s win. This mysterious figure has been rumored to be Austin Theory, raising questions about his future alignment with Vision and possible collaboration with Paul.
McIntyre has previously defeated Rhodes, and it wouldn’t be shocking if he leveraged that win to seek another title shot. Both Reigns and Lesnar are part-time competitors, leaving fans uncertain about their return timing and motives. Reigns has suggested he won’t align with Rhodes again, hinting at a potential end to their trilogy.
