• Survivor Series WarGames 2024 is set to deliver big as WWE brings the event to Vancouver’s Rogers Arena on November 30.
However, this year’s WarGames format will see a twist: instead of the traditional 5-on-5 match, WWE is planning a 4-on-4 showdown, according to the Wrestling Observer.
The change follows weeks of rising tension between Roman Reigns, The Usos and Sami Zayn, and the new Bloodline (Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga & Tonga Loa).
Crown Jewel 2024 saw a major shakeup as Roman, Jey, and Jimmy Uso faced Sikoa’s team, culminating in an unexpected loss and a dramatic post-match moment with Sami Zayn.
Zayn appeared to waver on aligning with the new Bloodline before ultimately launching a surprise attack on them, drawing enthusiastic “Sami Uso” chants from the crowd. However, Sami accidentally kicked Roman in the face, causing tension in the original Bloodline.
