What Exactly Are WarGames?
Created by WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes in 1987, WarGames is a unique and exciting match type. It has become a staple since its introduction into NXT in 2017. Two rings are placed side-by-side and surrounded by a roofless steel cage. The match typically involves two or three teams.
The match starts with one wrestler from each team in the ring. After five minutes, another wrestler from one team enters, creating a brief advantage. Two minutes later, a wrestler from the opposing team enters, evening the odds. This pattern continues until all competitors are in the match. The winning team is determined by pinfall or submission of any member of the opposing team.
