Survivor Series 2017 weekend was all about 'The Game'.

On the show itself, the main event elimination clash mystifyingly turned into a Triple H appreciation night, with Pedigrees and arms raised for all. But just 24 hours earlier, his latest unexpected political manoeuvre was unanimously heralded as one of the year's great success stories.

In bringing back WarGames (even the mangled WCW 1998 version of the contest), NXT offered fans yet more wish fulfilment with a multi-man destruction derby confined to a cold, uncompromising cage. Blood, sweat and cheers abounded, stunts were piled atop stunts and Adam Cole and Killian Dain in particular upped their stock exponentially.

If the rumours are true, the contest was 15 years in the making for Hunter. So the story goes, he'd pushed the idea so much in 2002 that Vince McMahon instead compromised on the Elimination Chamber as Survivor Series' grand payoff. But he's yet again played the waiting game and won. If NXT's roll-out was a trial run, it was a phenomenal teaser of what to expect on the Thanksgiving tradition this time next year.
