VANCOUVER, BC – WWE Survivor Series, the final main roster pay-per-view (PLE) of 2024, concluded Sunday night with two electrifying WarGames matches and several title changes, leaving fans buzzing despite a lack of major surprises. The event, held in front of a packed house of over 17,000 fans in Vancouver, saw a 3-hour, 35-minute extravaganza.

The main event, a men’s WarGames match, pitted The Original Bloodline (Roman Reigns, Sami Zayn, The Usos, and CM Punk) against a new Bloodline faction led by Solo Sikoa. In a hard-hitting contest filled with high-flying moves and weapon usage, The Original Bloodline emerged victorious, with Reigns delivering the final Spear to Solo Sikoa after a chaotic sequence of near-falls and dramatic spots. Jacob Fatu, a standout performer for the losing team, sustained a potential knee injury during the match. The match received a 4 ¼ star rating from TJRWrestling.

The women’s WarGames match, featuring ten competitors, was also a highlight but was considered slightly less impactful, earning a 3 ½ star rating. Team Rhea Ripley (Ripley, Bianca Belair, Naomi, Bayley, and IYO SKY) defeated Team Liv Morgan (Morgan, Nia Jax, Candice LeRae, Tiffany Stratton, and Raquel Rodriguez) in a match that lasted nearly 40 minutes. The reviewer cited Nia Jax’s lengthy in-ring time as a potential factor affecting the match’s overall quality.

Beyond the WarGames clashes, the event saw several significant moments:

* **US Title Change:** Shinsuke Nakamura dethroned LA Knight in a well-paced match, capturing the United States Championship.
* **Triple Threat Victory:** Bron Breakker triumphed over Sheamus and Ludwig Kaiser in a thrilling triple threat match.
* **World Heavyweight Title Retention:** Gunther successfully defended his World Heavyweight Title against Damian Priest with interference from Finn Balor, reigniting their rivalry.

TJRWrestling gave the overall event a 7.75 out of 10 rating, praising the quality of the men’s WarGames match and the storytelling in the World Heavyweight Title match, while noting the lack of major plot twists or surprises. The reviewer also noted that 2024 proved to be a strong year for WWE PLEs overall. The event marked the final WWE PLE to air on traditional platforms like the WWE Network (outside the US) before the transition to Netflix in 2025.
