Survivor Series 2024: WarGames Mayhem and the Quest for Gold

Ah, Survivor Series—WWE’s annual Thanksgiving week tradition that no one wants to miss. This year, Paul “Triple H” Levesque has taken the event up a notch by doubling down with two WarGames matches, and you know what that means: chaos, drama, and plenty of finger-pointing come Monday night. But let’s face it: if you’re a wrestling fan, you’re here for the chaos, right? We know we’re in for some surprises that could shake up the entire WWE landscape, especially in the chase for the Intercontinental, United States, and World Heavyweight Championships. So, what’s next for the gold rush after Survivor Series 2024? Grab your popcorn, because we’re diving into the predictions and storylines WWE might be setting up.

The WarGames Fallout: Where Do We Go from Here?

First up, the two WarGames matches at Survivor Series. It’s safe to say that if you’re a fan of high-stakes, multi-man mayhem, these matches are your jam. WWE loves a good WarGames match to spotlight its most explosive rivalries, and this year is no different. Whether it’s a mix of babyfaces and heels fighting for pride or a full-on clash of titans that decides who’s top dog, expect the unexpected when these two teams step inside the unforgiving steel cage.

Let’s start with the first WarGames match, which pitted the mightiest heels against a team of fan-favorite underdogs. Imagine a scenario where the baddies emerge victorious, a moment that would likely set off a seismic shift in the main event scene. This could lead to new alliances, betrayals, or even a potential “I told you so” moment from Seth Rollins as he gloats from the sidelines, ready to put the winner in their place.

On the other hand, if the babyfaces win, expect an absolute carnage-filled fallout as the heels regroup for revenge. Is Roman Reigns going to start stacking bodies to prove he’s still the Tribal Chief, or will we see Cody Rhodes kickstart a new era of old-school heroes?

The Intercontinental Championship: The Gold Rush is On

The Intercontinental Championship has always been that special, historically significant title that makes a man. We know that, after Survivor Series, the hunt for this coveted belt will be more intense than ever. Could it be that Gunther, the Ring General himself, decides to go on a reign of terror after his recent defenses, reclaiming his status as the most dominant intercontinental champion in recent history? It’s a possibility, especially if we see him take down contenders who dare step up—whether it’s a returning Dolph Ziggler or someone like Santos Escobar, looking to make a splash.

Or maybe, WWE goes bold and hands the title to an underdog, a fan favorite who’s been grinding behind the scenes. What if we see a resurgence of Shinsuke Nakamura’s darker side, leading to a fierce battle with Gunther that keeps everyone on the edge of their seats? These matches are going to be epic, full of chops that echo throughout the arena and drama that makes you forget to breathe.

United States Championship: A New Era?

Speaking of titles, the United States Championship has had its fair share of twists and turns lately. The match at Survivor Series featuring the current champ versus a desperate challenger was a barnburner, and with the title now in new hands, who’s next in line to challenge for it? This is where things get interesting.

With Austin Theory showing flashes of brilliance and the crowd still buzzing from his shocking heel turn, he could be gearing up for a run that shakes up the mid-card. Could this mean a feud between Theory and LA Knight, who’s been a crowd favorite with his “Yeah!” and “I’m a megastar” attitude? The storyline writes itself, complete with mic work that would make the wrestling gods weep tears of joy.

And don’t count out Grayson Waller either. He’s proven he can talk a good game, but can he wrestle his way into the U.S. title conversation? If Survivor Series taught us anything, it’s that WWE loves to make new stars in the most unpredictable ways possible. One strong promo and a surprise win could make Waller a contender to watch out for.

World Heavyweight Championship: A Titan’s Reign or a New Contender?

Let’s not forget the World Heavyweight Championship, a belt that’s been through the wringer in 2024. With a strong showing at Survivor Series, either defending or losing, the reigning champion is bound to have a target on their back. If they retained, then expect a challenger to emerge from the shadows, someone who’s got the chops, the charisma, and the history to put up a fight. Maybe we see a returning Drew McIntyre looking to reclaim what he feels is rightfully his, or perhaps a dark horse like Finn Bálor makes his case to put the “Demon” back in the main event scene.

But what if the belt changes hands? Imagine a scenario where a title change at Survivor Series sets off a months-long pursuit, turning the championship picture into a game of musical chairs. The World Heavyweight Championship is WWE’s main prize, so the storylines that follow will be as rich and colorful as a Thanksgiving feast.

What’s Next?

As we dig deeper into December and the road to Royal Rumble begins, the seeds sown at Survivor Series 2024 will take root and transform into full-fledged feuds. Fans are already talking about potential matchups, dream scenarios, and the “what ifs” that will keep them hooked until WrestleMania. Triple H has a knack for making sure no one leaves the table without a new story to talk about, so get ready for more drama, more shocks, and yes, more WarGames. Whether you’re in it for the chaos or just waiting to see who’s going to win the gold, one thing’s for sure: 2024 isn’t done with us yet. And neither is WWE.
