10 Most Infamous WarGames Wrestling Controversies

10. That Time WWE Previously Got WarGames Cold Feet

Though this year will represent the first time WWE have officially welcomed the WarGames structure onto main roster programming, there was actually a moment in time almost a decade earlier when it looked as though Dusty Rhodes' brainchild was on the cusp of making its debut at Battleground 2013.

As recalled by The American Dream's own son, though, former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon and the company as a whole decided to back out of unleashing the grand cage of chaos on their audience at the last-minute, much to the disappointment of Cody Rhodes in particular.

Speaking to Ring Rust Radio (via Cageside Seats), The American Nightmare would note how his battle alongside brother Dustin, in his Goldust guise, against The Shield was originally planned to go down within their father's iconic concept.

Yet, the excuse of "it takes up too much ticket space" soon proved too awkward an obstacle to overcome for some in the back and the bout was swiftly changed up to tag encounter instead.

With the gruelling contest now making its presence known at the upcoming Survivor Series, could Cody finally realise his "what if" of competing in his father's formidable match-type in the not too distant future?
