Men’s War Games Match:
Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso, Randy Orton, Sami Zayn & Seth Rollins vs. Drew McIntyre & The Judgment Day
Grady Hooker:
Judgment Day and Drew McIntyre are a group fractured with motives all over he place. Half the group doesn’t know who the leader is, and half them just want to beat up Jey Uso. I can’t see them getting on the same page long enough to win.
Winners: Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso, Randy Orton, Sami Zayn & Seth Rollins
Steve McCleary:
Judgment Day is a unified force, with the added power of Drew McIntyre putting them over the top. The Scotsman has been wronged at every turn and is here to mete out justice. Who stands in his way? Other people that’ve been dealt trauma by Jey Uso. That’s not going to work. It’s Judgment Day all the way, and it might even be outta nowhere…
Winners: Drew McIntyre & The Judgment Day
AJ Murtagh:
The Judgment Day have been on a dominant run lately and obviously have the advantage when it comes to teamwork. That said, Team Cody have done a pretty impressive job shelving personal issues for the greater good and the return of Randy Orton gives them an explosive advantage.
Winners: Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso, Randy Orton, Sami Zayn & Seth Rollins
David Dunn:
These are some heavy hitters on the Cody Rhodes side of things, but they’re not exactly the best of friends. I’m not saying The Judgment Day and Drew McIntyre are a perfect match either, but WarGames will definitely exploit any cracks in these alliances.
Winners: Drew McIntyre & The Judgment Day
