"We've come a long way from the humble beginnings of Survivor Series. Back in the day, it was all about multi-wrestler elimination tag-team matches, with mismatched partners and goofy team names like "Roddy's Rowdies" and "Clowns Are Us." Want to see Lex Luger team with The Undertaker against a team of "foreigners" that included Roman Reigns' cousin, Yokozuna? There's a Survivor Series for that!"
"Since 2022, Survivor Series has featured men's and women's WarGames matches contested between the two rings surrounded by a giant steel cage without a roof. The lack of ceiling denotes the difference between a "cage" and a "cell" in WWE parlance. Two participants from each five-person team start the match. A new member from each team enters the match at preset time intervals until all the participants are in the ring and the match officially begins."
"Last year's match had Roman Reigns teaming with his cousins, Jimmy and Jey Uso, while forging a fragile alliance with CM Punk, against a team with Bronson Reed on it. This year's match has ... Reigns teaming with his cousins Jimmy and Jey Uso, while forging a fragile alliance with Punk, against a team with Bronson Reed on it. But so much more!"
Survivor Series: WarGames will occur Saturday at 7 p.m. ET from Petco Park in San Diego and will stream exclusively in the U.S. for ESPN Unlimited subscribers on the ESPN App. Survivor Series evolved from multi-wrestler elimination tag-team matches into WarGames matches beginning in 2022, using two rings surrounded by a giant roofless steel cage. Matches start with two participants per five-person team, with additional members entering at preset intervals until all competitors are inside and the match officially begins. Victories are achieved only by pinfall or submission, and matches often become violent. Roman Reigns teams with Jimmy and Jey Uso and CM Punk, opposed by a team including Bronson Reed.
