Cheers could be heard from every corner of the wrestling map when Triple H announced that Hell In A Cell wouldn't be an annual, standalone pay-per-view on WWE's calendar next year. It also looks like Money In The Bank will take place at 'Mania again. Trips understands that such formulaic scheduling is very dry.

So, why did he slap the WarGames subtitle on Survivor Series?

Listen, WarGames was ace and definitely replaced the tired Raw vs. SmackDown fare successfully. However, if it's going to become a yearly tradition, then the same problems will start to pop up for WWE that did with HIAC, MITB etc. In other words, the twin-cage bouts will feel forced rather than organic.

The same looming threat of monotony is there for WarGames, and it won't take long for WWE to find that out. Next year's matches, for example, will suffer from the same locked-in feel those pay-per-views 'The Game' just scrapped did.
