WWE Survivor Series WarGames 2024 results: Winners, grades, analysis as OG Bloodline, Rhea Ripley reign supreme
The babyface team of Bianca Belair, Iyo Sky, Naomi, Rhea Ripley and Bayley made their entrance first. Ripley got the largest pop of the five women and had a unique facemask featuring two sets of horns. Bayley, the late addition for the injured Jade Cargill was the first entrant for her team.
The heels didn’t draw the same enthusiasm as their babyface counterparts. Tiffany Stratton notably did not have her Money in the Bank briefcase with her when she entered. WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax started off the match for her team.
The match started off relatively slowly, with Bayley and Jax showing off their contrasting styles. Bayley utilized her speed advantage to evade Jax, who was unable to land any significant offense in the early stages. After a hurricanrana, Bayley ripped off a piece of her gear and began to use it as a weapon. Jax was able to counter and steal the brace and gain the upper hand.
Jax brutalized Bayley, throwing her into the cage and delivering a hip attack before Naomi made her way to the ring and introduced a kend-glow stick (we’re trademarking that) and a toilet seat. After a brief flurry with the stick, Naomi utilized her athleticism and Bayley recovered to maximize their team’s advantage.
A brief string of offense from Jax was snuffed out by Bayley and Naomi, the latter of whom paid homage to her father-in-law Rikishi with a stink face. Candice LeRae became the second member of the heel team to enter, sidestepping Stratton. LeRae tossed several steel chairs into the ring before the door closed behind her.
LeRae’s addition turned the tide for the heels, with the Poison Pixie setting up three chairs and delivering a springboard moonsault to Bayley before Belair rushed to her team’s aid. Keeping with the trend of adding weapons to the ring, Belair introduced a fire extinguisher, trash can and table into the match.
Belair immediately made her presence felt, countering a poisonrana from LeRae into an Alabama slam into the top turnbuckle and then teaming up with Naomi to take down Jax. Bayley, recovered from the moonsault, delivered a belly-to-back suplex to LeRae onto a steel chair.
Stratton was next to enter the match, bringing a trash can lid with her. Stratton immediately took out all three members of the babyface team alongside her longtime ally, Jax. One of the highlights came as Stratton and Jax delivered a combo blockbuster/Samoan drop during their assault. Stratton was finally taken out by Bayley before Sky was released from the cage and into the match.
Sky, who has been in every single women’s WarGames match in history, wasted no time with her signature spot. After pulling out a purple and gold trash can, Sky carried it to the top of the cage, where she was met by LeRae. LeRae went for a massive superplex but Sky countered into a missed sunset-flp powerbomb. Sky followed up with a missile drop kick and the trash can remained at the top of the cage.
Stratton and Sky shared a fun segment, before Sky took out Ms. Money in the Bank and LeRae. Raquel Rodriguez was the fourth entrant for the heels, leaving just Ripley and Liv Morgan left in the cages. Rodriguez and Jax utilized their power advantage to send Bayley and Belair into the side of the steel cage and then powerbomb Sky and Naomi into the cage, each other and then onto their teammates.
With all of the babyfaces down, Ripley was the last of her team to enter, bringing a table with her that she used to neutralize Rodriguez. Eventually, all of the women began to brawl and the match devolved into chaos before “officially” getting underway.
As Morgan was set to enter, Ripley was the lone woman standing, leaving the Women’s World Champion somewhat hesitant to join the fray. Instead, Morgan retrieved a baseball bat and marched toward the rings.
The longtime rivals stared each other down and Ripley removed her protective mask. As she lined Morgan up for a Riptide finisher, the heels came to her aid and the beatdown of Ripley commenced. Morgan revealed handcuffs and threatened to cuff Ripley in the corner but she was able to avoid it. A train of high-impact moves followed, with Jax nearly ending the match after capping the intense action off with a Samoan drop to Bayley.
After the near-fall, Sky and Stratton each climbed to the top of the cage on opposite sides. Sky went inside the trash can and delivered an Over the Moonsault while Stratton landed a Swanton, leaving all of the women down.
Inside one of the trash cans was Stratton’s Money in the Bank briefcase, which she pulled out with Jax and Morgan both incapacitated. While Stratton made her decision, Sky came with a fire extinguisher and blinded everyone in front of her.
Ripley managed to secure the handcuffs and take Rodriguez out of the match with them, the heels set up a table, Jax cleared out Belair, Sky and Bayley, with the latter two babyfaces teasing a showdown. Jax attempted to utilize the previously set up table to deliver an Annihilator to Belair, but the EST and Naomi turned the tables (pun intended) and powerbombed the WWE Women’s Champion through it.
Morgan and Rodriguez (despite being handcuffed) teamed up to take out Bayley and then Ripley for a brief moment. Morgan and Ripley battled to the top turnbuckle, with a table set up precariously below them. Ripley powered her way out of an Oblivion attempt through the table, instead sending Morgan crashing through it with a Riptide and she secured the win for her team.
Bianca Belair, Iyo Sky, Naomi, Rhea Ripley and Bayley def. Nia Jax, Liv Morgan, Tiffany Stratton, Candice LeRae and Raquel Rodriguez in 38:10.
