WarGames will make its first appearance at a WWE main roster event this November, bringing the classic caged double ring match to Survivor Series.

Triple H made the announcement Monday in an interview with The Ringer, where he revealed that Survivor Series will include two WarGames matches: one men's match, and one women's bout. He added that unlike recent Survivor Series PPVs/PLEs, this year's edition will not be a battle for brand supremacy:

"The tradition of the Survivor Series has ebbed and flowed and changed slightly over time, but this will be similar to that,” Levesque said. “This will not be Raw versus SmackDown. It will be much more story-line driven. I still look at it as a traditional component to Survivor Series in there because it’s large teams of people competing. We just upped the ante a little bit with WarGames and made it evolve.”

Originally conceived by Dusty Rhodes as part of the NWA in 1987, WarGames was a staple of NWA/WCW until 2000, with WCW folding less than seven months after the last such match in the company.

WarGames would be revived in NXT in 2017. Much like the original iteration was used as a speciality match for the Four Horsemen, the first four men's NXT WarGames matches featured the Undisputed Era. NXT also held the first-ever women's WarGames matches, with three of them on the books so far.

There's no word yet of whether Triple H has tried to arrange a talent exchange with AEW to get William Regal back for one night to yell, "WarGames!"
