10 Things That Must Happen In NXT In 2018

3. Book Another WarGames Match

It was far from perfect, but NXT’s attempt at WarGames was one of the most fun plunder matches in the entire year. It struck a great balance between story and violence, and even the much-criticised rule changes made sense in the end. If the aim was to give NXT a new signature match, it definitely succeeded.

With that in mind, NXT must ensure that WarGames returns in 2018. It would make perfect sense to book it over the same weekend as the one in 2017, in order to build anticipation way ahead of time for Survivor Series weekend. This seems like a bit of a no-brainer.

Having three teams in the match is definitely questionable however. It made some sense in 2017, but the nature of WarGames is a blood feud gone too far, and having just two teams would ramp that up somewhat. The classic match will return again in 2018, but it needs to be 4-on-4. Bring back the roof too…
