Tue Nov 26 02:50:00 UTC 2024: ## WWE Raw Prepares for Survivor Series WarGames with Key Victories and Unexpected Twists
**Vancouver, BC** – Monday night’s WWE Raw served as a crucial go-home show for Survivor Series: WarGames, delivering several key victories and setting the stage for exciting matches this Saturday. The show was punctuated by both high-octane action and simmering backstage drama.
Bianca Belair secured a hard-fought win over Nia Jax, giving her team a significant advantage in Saturday’s women’s WarGames match. The victory, fueled by Belair’s desire for revenge after a prior attack on her partner, saw her overcome Jax’s size and strength. A late interference from Bayley added intrigue, hinting at a potential alliance for the babyfaces heading into WarGames. However, the match itself was criticized for some clunky moments.
The Intercontinental Championship match saw Bron Breakker defend against Ludwig Kaiser, culminating in a chaotic finish. Sheamus’s interference, retaliating against Kaiser’s previous actions, led to a disqualification win for Kaiser, but Adam Pearce immediately announced a triple-threat match for Survivor Series: Breakker versus Kaiser versus Sheamus. This promises a high-stakes showdown, with the commentators calling it a potential show-stealer.
Other key highlights included:
* **The Judgment Day’s continued dominance:** Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh retained their World Tag Team Championships against The War Raiders, employing underhanded tactics to secure the victory with help from Dominik Mysterio and Carlito.
* **The LWO vs. American Made feud continues:** Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee lost a fast-paced match against Brutus and Julius Creed of American Made after Chad Gable’s interference. Julius Creed’s athleticism was a highlight.
* **The New Day’s internal conflict erupts:** After a short match against Alpha Academy, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods’s long-standing partnership fractured, leaving their future uncertain ahead of their 10th anniversary celebration next week.
* **A preview of Survivor Series?** World Heavyweight Champion Gunther and Rey Mysterio engaged in a physical confrontation, setting the stage for their possible clash at Survivor Series.
The show, while lacking some star power, effectively built anticipation for Survivor Series, showcasing key rivalries and delivering compelling in-ring action, leaving fans eager for the WarGames spectacle this weekend.
