Triple H Discusses WWE’s “WarGames,” Differences From The Past

Triple H was recently on a media conference call with WrestlingInc, and discussed a number of topics. Among them was the upcoming “NXT Takeover: WarGames” pay-per-view and how the match is different from how it was in the past.

The rules are as follows:

• The three-member teams of SAnitY (Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe & Killian Dain), Undisputed ERA (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish & Kyle O’Reilly), and The Authors of Pain (Akam & Rezar) & Roderick Strong will wage war inside a massive steel cage that surrounds TWO rings.
• All three teams will be contained inside separate shark cages by the entranceway, with a member from each team (as chosen by his respective squad) starting the match.
• After five minutes, the remaining members from one team will be released from their shark cage and allowed to enter the match.
• When another three-minute period elapses, the remaining members from a second team are released from their shark cage and enter the match.
• Following another three-minute period, the final team’s members are released from their shark cage and enter the match.
• Once all three teams have entered the WarGames Match, a victory can be attained via pinfall or submission.

Below are some highlights from the conference call:

On the reason for different rules:

“Anytime that you’ve had 20 years between something, you have the opportunity to do it in a slightly modified way, whether that’s making it better, which is hopefully what [we did],” Triple H said. “I’m not saying that there were things that needed to be fixed, but there were things that there were some concerns about and we wanted to change those and tweak them up.

On the cages not having a roof:

“We’re not going to have a roof,” Triple H said. “I think it’s a little bit limiting. I think the style has changed. I’m not saying that anyone’s going to do it in this match, but I think going forward, I try to think about the future… look, Arn Anderson wasn’t doing moonsaults off the top of a cage (laughs). This allows for there to be a little bit of a different opportunity there to do some things.
