Regardless of how WWE has written the angles main as much as WarGames on the principle roster, the face groups have historically had extra success.
The OG Bloodline defeating the heroic Brawling Brutes squad in 2022 was the lone time a villainous workforce claimed victory inside WarGames.
Thanks for the submission!
This yr’s groups are a bit lopsided. Workforce Punk consists of Punk and Cody Rhodes, who each maintain the main titles of their respective manufacturers, and Roman Reigns. Jey Uso received the World Heavyweight title this yr.
Workforce Imaginative and prescient’s two greatest weapons, Drew McIntyre and Brock Lesnar, have not had vital title runs in a couple of years. Regardless of the chance of Workforce Punk profitable, the following 4 indicators point out that Workforce Imaginative and prescient will win WarGames this yr.
#4. The Brock Lesnar issue
Brock Lesnar would not come again for desk scraps. He battled Cody Rhodes a couple of instances earlier than his final contract ended. Rhodes talked about that truth on SmackDown, reminding The Beast that he fell quick of their clashes.
The previous Common Champion must be hungry for revenge and gold. He throttled John Cean at Wrestlepalooza, reminding everybody that he’s nonetheless some of the harmful males in wrestling.
Lesnar is a bodily anomaly, even surpassing Roman Reigns. He might tip the tides for Workforce Imaginative and prescient, which does not have a monster like him.
#3. Jey Uso has teased a heel flip
Regardless of being some of the widespread stars right this moment, Jey Uso has additionally displayed some heelish tendencies over the previous few months. Most of it stems from shedding the World Heavyweight title.
He tends to worth Reigns’ recommendation greater than Jimmy’s, however mended fences together with his twin. The Yeet Grasp has additionally had main points with each Punk (at one level) and LA Knight.
Jey might full the surprising heel flip. It might present WarGames with an enormous speaking level as an alternative of the nice guys merely overcoming the dangerous guys. That is what’s occurred during the last two years.
#2. The Imaginative and prescient is on the identical web page forward of WarGames
Roman Reigns thinks he’s solely liable for the success the Bloodline had, however he is unsuitable. It wasn’t till he aligned with Paul Heyman that he had probably the most profitable run of his profession.
Jey Uso additionally claims Heyman had nothing to do with the Bloodline’s success, and he is additionally unsuitable. The Wiseman is just a bonus Workforce Punk would not possess, primarily because of betrayals and satisfaction.
Bron Breakker, Logan Paul, and Bronson Reed are on the identical web page, and Lesnar appears glad to be again with Heyman. Drew McIntyre despises everybody on Workforce Punk. Their collective imaginative and prescient and hatred may very well be exhausting to beat at WarGames.
#1. Large pressure between Reigns and Punk
Bookers at all times like to have adversity between two faces in order that they’ll overcome it inside WarGames. It is what occurred final yr when Punk backed up the Bloodline in opposition to Solo Sikoa’s workforce.
The Greatest within the World and Reigns are on the identical aspect once more this yr, however issues have modified. The Tribal Chief misplaced a match to Reed, whereas Punk received the World Heavyweight title. Reigns expects everybody to bow at his knees.
Punk marches to the beat of his personal drum. The strain will hopefully result in one thing huge as an alternative of Workforce Punk merely working collectively to beat Workforce Imaginative and prescient this yr. That may be the identical rehashed end from final yr.
Triple H must do one thing drastically completely different to provide the Imaginative and prescient extra traction because the faction to concern. In the event that they lose once more, it’s going to be near turning into one other failed experiment as a result of unwillingness to ebook the tremendous faces to lose.
