The main event of Survivor Series: WarGames was stacked with 10 of the roster’s biggest names this past weekend, with the team of Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Drew McIntyre and Brock Lesnar scoring the win over Roman Reigns, The Usos, WWE World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk, and WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. 

It took months of conflict between the parties involved, with Reigns and Punk at the center of the WrestleMania triple threat against Seth Rollins which birthed The Vision – which Breakker, Reed, and Lesnar (on applicable days) are a part of. Rollins’ vision for The Vision included the World Heavyweight title held at the time by Jey Uso, so naturally he was brought into the affair. Also, in case one was unaware, the Usos and Reigns are actual in-real-life cousins. 

It would’ve been criminal to have WarGames without a Rhodes when available, as well as the fact that Rollins and Vision beat him at Crown Jewel. McIntyre has been feuding with Rhodes for his title over the past few months, has well long-standing issues with Punk, Reigns and, by proxy, the Usos. But that was going into the affair. The question now sits with what on Earth happens moving forward. Well, Breakker was the one to get the pin on none other than Punk, putting him closer to anyone else in having a claim at his title. Breakker had been the one to pluck the title from the proverbial corpse of Rollins after he and Reed turned on him, later giving it up under Adam Pearce’s duress so that Punk and Jey could fight for the title – which Punk then won. 

It would be safe to assume that his pursuit of the title will be backed by Reed as well, and with Jey likely to be Punk’s only full-time ally in the coming weeks, there is a chance Reed and Jey counter-act one another in said pursuit. Breakker’s win was helped by the interference of a mystery masked individual, making use of Rollins’ own curbstomp to leave Punk ripe for the taking. That individual has since been reported as Austin Theory, so maybe he joins the Vision and starts a tag team with Paul going forward? 

McIntyre has a win over Rhodes, albeit technically, and it would be a true surprise if he didn’t try to use that to leverage another title shot. Reigns and Lesnar are the part-timers among the bunch, and while it’s unknown when, where, and why they will be back (a truly Royal conundrum), Reigns did at least indicate he was not teaming with Rhodes ever again. And that certainly leaves the road open for a trilogy stop.
