Today's topic of conversation is: Survivor Series WARGAMES.
There were a lot of rumours and speculation, particularly on social media in terms of returns, which is a standard thing in wrestling, before we get to that, let's talk about the matches.
Shoutout to everyone involved in the Women's WarGames, we saw the usual 'can they co-exist?' storyline, involving Charlotte and Becky, they look as though they have patched things up for now on TV and PLE's until they feud again, perhaps the best moment of the match was Iyo Sky jumping off the cage onto others with a trash can on her head, which was quite the spectacle, Damage CTRL losing this match could spell trouble for Bayley in the future.
Gunther, perhaps the Greatest Intercontinental Champion in history, successfully defended the title against future Hall of Famer, The Miz, in what was a very good match, looking forward to seeing what's next for these two guys.
Santos Escobar picked up a win against Dragon Lee, who continues to impress, Rey Mysterio is currently on the sidelines with an injury, in the meantime, this is an opportunity for Santos to go on a winning streak and solidify himself as a true heel before Rey returns.
Rhea Ripley is still Women's World Champion, defeating Zoey Stark, this was a very competitive match, despite this loss, Zoey needs to remain in the title picture, that's how good of a wrestler she is whereas it will be interesting to see who challenges Rhea, on an episode of RAW or at the Royal Rumble.
On the go home show episode of RAW, Cody Rhodes revealed the fifth member of the WarGames team was going to be Randy Orton, at Survivor Series, we didn't see "The Viper" until he interrupted Rhea's attempt in helping Damian Priest cash in the Money In The Bank for the World Heavyweight Championship, that was a very smart way of keeping us, the fans of guessing what was going to happen in the main event.

The WarGames match resumed Randy's story/history with the Bloodline as he reminded Jey that he did not forget past events, he went on to play a crucial part in helping the team win against Drew McIntyre and Judgment Day.
Now let's talk about what, you, the readers are here for, the return of the legendary R-Truth, great to see him on TV.
The talk on social media ever since Survivor Series concluded, has been all about the return of one CM Punk, I'll be completely honest with you when I say I have never been a fan of his and never will be and that is alright, even when he was in the WWE all those years ago, they say you should separate the person you see on TV to the person in real life, which is true, however, in this situation, Punk himself struggles to do that himself, when he returned to the professional wrestling world elsewhere, I did not believe the hype, I knew he wouldn't be there for long, which proved to be correct, he loves to unnecessarily bring real life drama to in-ring promos and cause problems for his colleagues, hopefully history doesn't repeat itself in the WWE.
Triple H said it perfectly in a tweet: It's a Mighty cold day in hell.
