Result: Team NXT [Women’s]

Rating: 3.5/5.0 Stars

Analysis: It’s quite uncanny that Rhea Ripley needed so much help to defeat Sasha Banks after her 2 vs. 4 victory against Team Baszler at NXT Takeover War Games last night. Nonetheless, this survivor series match was fun to watch and all of the superstars felt important as they executed their key maneuvers throughout the match. After this match, there was a backstage segment between Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens, in which Rollins questions Kevin Owens’ loyalty to Team Raw. Owens then retorts and questions why Rollins would ask him such a thing when Rollins has had a very elaborate backstabbing history with the Shield.
