11. Team McAfee Vs. The Undisputed Era - Takeover: War Games 2020
Pat McAfee in a War Games match. That is a sentence that shouldn’t work. The match itself shouldn’t have worked. However, the former NFL punter had been working even harder than he did for his Takeover: XXX singles bout with Adam Cole. The heel captain didn’t look like the odd man out once, in fact, his presence ended up being a huge factor in why this match is so far the best War Games match that WWE has put on since its return.
Not only did McAfee shine, but his whole team made their presence felt, especially Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch who relished the opportunity to finally be in the main event spotlight, having some excellent encounters with O'Reilly and Fish. Pete Dunne continued to remind everyone watching that he is a bonafide star and one day will most likely be the face of WWE, as his exchanges with Cole and O'Reilly were simply electric.
As always, Undisputed Era were entertaining as hell, proving why the War Games stipulation is their signature. Plus, O'Reilly getting the winning pin only furthered his singles star status. Overall, all future War Games matches in WWE will have to use this as the measuring stick.
