All You Need To Know About Women’s WarGames Match At WWE Survivor Series 2023

1 years ago By Sports Desk

The biggest event on the WWE calendar, Survivor Series, is coming up this Saturday live from the TD Garden in Boston. The card is stacked with exciting matches, including the much-anticipated women’s WarGames matchup. This dangerous double-cage match pits two teams of five women against each other in an all-out brawl.

The seeds for this WarGames clash were planted on an eventful episode of SmackDown a few weeks ago. Longtime friends and tag team partners Asuka and Bianca Belair faced off in a singles match. Shockingly, Asuka turned heel when she viciously attacked Belair after the match. She also laid out Shotzi and Charlotte Flair when they tried to intervene. Asuka made it clear she was aligning with Damage CTRL, joining Bayley, IYO SKY and Kairi Sane.

The next week on SmackDown, Asuka made it official by decking Bianca Belair from behind with a spinning back fist. She stood tall with Damage CTRL, throwing up their signature hand sign and cementing her alliance with the top heel faction in WWE. Later that night, a WarGames challenge was issued. Asuka, Bayley, SKY and Sane challenged Belair, Flair and Shotzi to the dangerous double cage match at Survivor Series.

Belair, Flair and Shotzi readily accepted, but they needed a fourth partner to round out their team against the vicious Damage CTRL. The three began searching for someone brave enough to join their squad. However, Damage CTRL viciously attacked every potential partner backstage one by one, including Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez and Xia Li.

In the main event segment, Belair, Flair and Shotzi stood in the ring without a fourth teammate. Just when it seemed Damage CTRL had outsmarted them, familiar music hit and none other than Becky Lynch made a shocking return! The crowd exploded as “The Man” strode to the ring, ready for a fight. Lynch declared she would be the fourth member of Belair’s team. The WarGames match was now set – Belair, Flair, Shotzi & Lynch vs. Damage CTRL’s Asuka, SKY, Bayley & Sane.

This loaded clash features some of the top female Superstars in WWE today. On one side, Damage CTRL are former Raw, SmackDown and NXT Women’s Champions. Asuka and Sane are also multi-time Women’s Tag Team titleholders. Together with SKY and devious leader Bayley, they’ve run roughshod over the division for months.

Standing against them are four brave women ready to put a stop to their chaos. Bianca Belair is the reigning Raw Women’s Champion, a rising star looking to cement her top spot. 16-time champion Charlotte Flair seeks to prove she’s still the most dominant female wrestler today. High-flyer Shotzi is an unpredictable sparkplug who fearlessly throws her body around.

And then there’s Becky Lynch, making her triumphant return after three months away. “The Man” is one of WWE’s biggest stars, a multi-time champ and the first-ever SmackDown Women’s Champion. If anyone can shift the odds in her team’s favor, it’s Lynch. Her surprise comeback added major star power to this already huge matchup.

So how exactly does a WarGames match work? It’s a unique tag team match contested under some special rules. Two rings are side-by-side, surrounded by a giant double-cage enclosure. The bout begins with a 4-on-3 advantage as four members of one team enter first. After five minutes, the remaining competitor enters to even the odds at 4-on-4.

Once all competitors are in the rings, the match can only end by pinfall or submission. Use of weapons is encouraged, and teams will battle brutally throughout both rings. Superstars can also exit the cage and scale to the top, where plenty of weapons will be at their disposal. The team that scores victory earns bragging rights for their brand, Raw or SmackDown.

This dangerous match was popularized in NXT, but this is the first-ever women’s WarGames on the main roster. The men have competed in WWE’s WarGames match the past few years, but now it’s the women’s chance to make history. They’ll put their bodies on the line inside the unforgiving double cage.

An added wrinkle this year is a fan vote to determine which team gets the numbers advantage. Ruffles is sponsoring the match and running a poll asking fans which team should enter WarGames first. As of now, Damage CTRL has a slim lead in the voting. Make sure to get your vote in online to give your preferred squad the edge!

With its iconic image of two side-by-side rings covered by a steel enclosure, WarGames always delivers chaotic action. Emotions will be running high as these bitter rivals collide. Expect to see plenty of insane moves off the cage walls as the women leave it all in the ring. Tables, ladders, kendo sticks and more will come into play as they brawl throughout the double cage.

At WWE Survivor Series, the women’s division gets to shine bright in this first-time-ever WarGames showdown. After shocking betrayals and surprise returns led to this huge matchup, only one team can emerge victorious from this brutal cage fight. Will Damage CTRL continue their reign of terror? Or can Bianca Belair, Charlotte Flair, Shotzi and Becky Lynch end their chaos?

There’s only one way to find out. Be sure to tune in to Survivor Series this Saturday, streaming live exclusively on Peacock in the U.S. and on WWE Network everywhere else. The women of WWE make history once again when they step inside the unforgiving WarGames!
