WWE Raw: WarGames Favorites in Doubt? Analysis and Results

Intense Action on “Raw” on the Road to Survivor Series: WarGames

The “Raw” edition prior to Survivor Series: WarGames, which will take place this Saturday at Petco Park in San Diego, was full of excitement, with intense fights in both the men’s and women’s divisions. The rivalry between Becky Lynch and AJ Lee on the women’s side promises to be a focal point, anticipating a possible highly anticipated singles match between the former champions. On the men’s side, the situation is more uncertain as to which team starts as the favorite.

The Intercontinental Championship in the Spotlight

The Intercontinental Championship situation promises interesting developments in the coming weeks. In addition, two quarterfinal matches were held in the “The Last Time Is Now” tournament, highlighting the match between Gunther and Carmelo Hayes, who offered a match full of expert storytelling.

Key Results of “Raw”

• Gunther defeated Carmelo Hayes in the quarterfinals of “The Last Time Is Now”.
• Rey Mysterio defeated JD McDonagh.
• Solo Sikoa defeated Penta (by medical stoppage) in the quarterfinals of “The Last Time Is Now”.
• Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre defeated The Usos (Jey and Jimmy Uso) in the match for the advantage at Survivor Series: War Games.

Who Has the Advantage in Men’s WarGames?

The night began with the question of who leads the team: CM Punk or Cody Rhodes, with Roman Reigns not showing preference for either. The Usos tried to remind the champions that there was still a match for the advantage, but the heels prevailed, securing the advantage in War Games. The possibility of The Vision winning at Survivor Series could boost future challengers for the men’s championships, such as Logan Paul challenging CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship or Brock Lesnar competing for Cody Rhodes’ Undisputed WWE Championship.

The title would look much better on my shoulder.

Roman Reigns

This suggests a possible involvement of Reigns in the title fight.

Other Highlights of “Raw”

Rey Mysterio’s victory over JD McDonagh puts him on a collision course with his son, Dominik, for the Intercontinental Championship. It is likely that “Dirty Dom” will regain the Intercontinental title from John Cena at Survivor Series. If Rey manages to defeat Finn Balor on “Raw” next week, he will prepare to challenge his son Dominik for the title. When Cena’s music played while Dominik mocked Cena for not appearing on “Raw”, the situation took an unexpected turn. Dominik introduced Syko from the Micro Wrestling Federation, dressed as Cena, which fit perfectly with his character. Brock Lesnar, after a wardrobe malfunction with his pants on “SmackDown” and a fall during his entrance on “Raw”, demonstrated his versatility in the character, showing a duality that few can match. The match between Penta and Solo Sikoa was stopped due to an injury to Penta. This event comes at an inopportune moment, as the Lucha Brothers (Penta and Rey Fenix) had reunited to challenge Dominik Mysterio and El Grande Americano on December 20th at AAA Alianzas.
