Before Survivor Series started, WrestleVotes reported the following:
“Sources indicate there is some creative contention over the entrance order for the men’s WarGames match. With the amount of star power in play, several scenarios were mapped out, and there are differing opinions.”
WWE’s Chief Content Officer Triple H confirmed this report during the post show, where he said the following:
“Unbelievable. One of the most star-studded WarGames I can recall. The level of star power that was in there was second to none. Everybody delivered. When you have Brock Lesnar, who does not team well with others. When you have Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso, CM Punk, Logan Paul.
All these people that are in there putting things out at another level, and you see that competitive nature. The lobbying, the politics, the backstage tension tonight, you can cut it with a knife. It was epic. You saw that in people’s performances.”
Triple H also talked about Roman Reigns being a larger than life superstar, and compared him to The Undertaker:
“He’s almost transcended to a point in the business where he’s bigger than the championship. He’s bigger than being a world champion. He is just a legend unto himself.
I used to think that about Taker all the time. He just transcended the business in a way that you didn’t even need to talk about him in the title picture because he was epically in that circle. That is where Roman Reigns is right now. There is an aura about him and just something different.”
After the Men’s WarGames match, Roman showed respect to World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk, but wasn’t cool with Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. Speculation began that WWE could do Reigns vs. Rhodes III at WrestleMania 42.
Here’s what Triple H said about that:
“When you have a star the size of Roman Reigns, he transcends the world title, he transcends the Royal Rumble, he transcends the Elimination Chamber. Does he really need to qualify or does he just call his shot? That’s a decision that we here in the WWE need to make very shortly.
I have a feeling that one of those two guys, CM Punk or Cody Rhodes, is on a collision course with Roman Reigns. It’s going to be interesting to see where that goes.”
