Survivor Series WarGames 2022 turned out to be a huge success according to Triple H. The 36th edition of Survivor Series was themed “WarGames” for the first time ever introducing the punishing steel cage match engulfing two rings placed side-by-side. The Brawling Brutes put up a great fight, however, came up a little short against Bloodline led by Roman Reigns. The women’s division of the WarGames match was won by Team Bianca when the returning Becky Lynch scaled to the top of the cage and hit a leg drop.
Besides the two WarGames matches, fans witnessed riveting singles contests as well. Ronda Rousey defeated Shotzi with her patented arm bar and retained her SmackDown Women’s Championship.
A heated rivalry between AJ Styles and Finn Balor also capped off on Survivor Series WarGames with Styles defeating Balor with the Phenomenal forearm.
What really shocked the fans was Austin Theory’s win in the triple-threat match. An opportunistic Theory pinned Seth Rollins after Rollins was hit with a spear from Lashley. Austin emerged as the new US Champion.
