Family drama is at the heart of WWE Survivor Series: WarGames. Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa lead their respective versions of The Bloodline into a five-on-five battle on Saturday night in Vancouver, Canada.
Reigns, The Usos, Sami Zayn and CM Punk will take on the combined forces of The Bloodline – Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa and Jacob Fatu – and Bronson Reed. They are imprisoned in the violent WarGames structure, a steel cage that encloses two adjacent rings. One participant from each team starts the game, with a new superstar being added at certain intervals. Once all 10 Superstars are in the ring, the winning team will be determined by sudden death pinfall or submission.
Meanwhile, almost all of the current defending champions from both brands will compete in the women's game. Rhea Ripley will team up with half of the tag team champions in the form of Bianca Belair, Naomi, Iyo Sky and Bayley. Belair's tag team partner Jade Cargill was originally in the match, but was found lying on a car in the weeks leading up to the PPV. She was replaced by former champion Bayley. This team faces Women's World Champion Liv Morgan, WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax, Money in the Bank briefcase holder Tiffany Stratton, Raquel Rodriguez and Candice LaRae.
In addition to the two headliners, there are three title fights. In the biggest fight, world heavyweight champion Günther tries to defend his crown against Damian Priest. Gunther took the title from Priest at SummerSlam when his former Priest ally and stablemate Finn Balor betrayed him. Now, having worked his way back, Priest gets the chance to right the wrongs in an incredibly physical battle between the best of them.
Additionally, even more physicality should be on display when the Intercontinental Title is on the line in a triple threat match. Champion Bron Breakker takes on Sheamus and Ludwig Kaiser. Since his main roster debut, Breakker has been a brutal wrecking ball, and that's what made him a champion. Now he faces Sheamus, who is one of the few wrestlers on the roster who can match his strength. Kaiser also adds an additional element of danger with his tactical attack.
Check out the confirmed Survivor Series matches below and get a crystal ball look at what could be coming. The event will be broadcast live on Peacock on Saturday, with the main card starting at 6:00 p.m. ET.
WWE Survivor Series 2024 matches
Roman Reigns, The Usos (Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso), Sami Zayn and CM Punk vs. The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa) and Bronson Reed (WarGames match): WWE has been preparing for this Bloodline vs. Bloodline showdown ever since Reigns cost Sikoa the WWE Undisputed Championship at SummerSlam. Sikoa's faction completed their five-man team with Reed. Seth Rollins declined Zayn's invitation to join the team and Reigns refused to ask Cody Rhodes. Five months after the attack on Sikoa's bloodline, Paul Heyman returned with a solution. Heyman recruited former “Paul Heyman” guy CM Punk to level the playing field.
World Heavyweight Championship – Gunther (c) vs. Damian Priest: The priest gets the chance to right a wrong. Gunther ended Priest's first reign as world champion at SummerSlam, thanks to a betrayal from Priest's former Judgment Day ally Finn Balor. Priest defeated Rollins, Sheamus and Dominik Mysterio in a fatal four-way match in November to earn a rematch against “The Ring General” at Survivor Series.
Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, Bayley, Naomi and Iyo Sky vs. Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Nia Jax, Tiffany Stratton and Candice LeRae (WarGames Match): While the men's WarGames focuses primarily on one storyline, the women's WarGames match is a convergence of many storylines. Ripley and Morgan have had a long-standing personal feud over the Women's World Cup. Sky joined the mix after earning a title shot against Morgan. Women's Tag Team Champions Belair and Cargill recently set their sights on WWE Women's Champion Jax and brought her onto the roster – along with Jax's lackeys – but Cargill was sidelined due to injury. Naomi's ongoing feud with Jax also made her a convenient participant. With Cargill out, Bayley became the fifth woman on the team.
Intercontinental Championship – Bron Breakker (c) vs. Sheamus vs. Ludwig Kaiser: WWE has returned to familiar territory with this intercontinental triple title threat, with three brawlers entangled and costing each other multiple matches. During their final brawl, Adam Pearce had seen enough and announced that the trio would meet at Survivor Series, with Sheamus once again in the hunt for the one title he had never won in WWE.
US Championship – LA Knight (c) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura: After Knight defended his title against Berto, Nakamura launched a surprise attack. A second Nakamura attack followed after Knight successfully defended his belt again, this time against Santos Escobar. That was enough to spark a clash between the two at Survivor Series.
