According to a recent rumour/report, WWE and Triple H in particular are looking at bringing back a huge gimmick match for the main roster.
Xero News is claiming that the company is looking at bringing the War Games concept and match to RAW and/or SmackDown.
The site revealed: “We have received word that either at this year’s Survivor Series or some time in 2023, HHH is planning on bringing the NXT War Games concept to the Main Roster [of WWE].”
Triple H bringing War Games to Main Roster?
It’s worth noting that this rumour from Xero News is just that, a rumour, as we are unable to verify whether or not the report is legitimate.
Having War Games on the main roster would certainly be a big creative move for the Survivor Series Premium Live Event.
The concept of the Survivor Series PPV has been watered down in previous years, but this could be a great way to give the event a boost, should the reports turn out to be accurate.
In previous years, the NXT War Games match has been a staple of the developmental brand. Whether a similar prestige can be brought with a version of the match on the main roster remains to be seen.
It’s not a wildly ‘out there’ rumour, as Triple H is clearly a fan of the classic WCW concept and has brought it to modern audiences before in NXT.
