The principal event of Survivor Series: WarGames was stacked with 10 of the roster’s biggest names this past weekend, with the team of Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Drew McIntyre and Brock Lesnar scoring the win over Roman Reigns, The Usos, WWE World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk, and WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.
It took months of conflict between the parties involved, with Reigns and Punk at the middle of the WrestleMania triple threat against Seth Rollins which birthed The Vision – which Breakker, Reed, and Lesnar (on applicable days) are a component of. Rollins’ vision for The Vision included the World Heavyweight title held on the time by Jey Uso, so naturally he was brought into the affair. Also, in case one was unaware, the Usos and Reigns are actual in-real-life cousins.
It could’ve been criminal to have WarGames with no Rhodes when available, in addition to the undeniable fact that Rollins and Vision beat him at Crown Jewel. McIntyre has been feuding with Rhodes for his title over the past few months, has well long-standing issues with Punk, Reigns and, by proxy, the Usos. But that was going into the affair. The query now sits with what on Earth happens moving forward. Well, Breakker was the one to get the pin on none aside from Punk, putting him closer to anyone else in having a claim at his title. Breakker had been the one to pluck the title from the proverbial corpse of Rollins after he and Reed turned on him, later giving it up under Adam Pearce’s duress in order that Punk and Jey could fight for the title – which Punk then won.
It could be protected to assume that his pursuit of the title will probably be backed by Reed as well, and with Jey prone to be Punk’s only full-time ally in the approaching weeks, there’s a likelihood Reed and Jey counter-act each other in said pursuit. Breakker’s win was helped by the interference of a mystery masked individual, making use of Rollins’ own curbstomp to go away Punk ripe for the taking. That individual has since been reported as Austin Theory, so perhaps he joins the Vision and starts a tag team with Paul going forward?
McIntyre has a win over Rhodes, albeit technically, and it could be a real surprise if he didn’t try to make use of that to leverage one other title shot. Reigns and Lesnar are the part-timers among the many bunch, and while it’s unknown when, where, and why they will probably be back (a really Royal conundrum), Reigns did a minimum of indicate he was not teaming with Rhodes ever again. And that definitely leaves the road open for a trilogy stop.
