Official Rules For War Games Match At NXT TakeOver: WarGames

WWE made fans very happy a few weeks ago when it was announced that the iconic War Games match will be returning at the appropriately titled event NXT TakeOver: WarGames.

SAnity will be facing off against The Undisputed Era and The Authors of Pain with Roderick Strong on November 18, and WWE has explained the official rules for the highly anticipated match.

The rules of the match are as follows:

• The three-member teams of SAnitY (Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe & Killian Dain), Undisputed ERA (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish & Kyle O’Reilly), and The Authors of Pain (Akam & Rezar) & Roderick Strong will wage war inside a massive steel cage that surrounds TWO rings.
• All three teams will be contained inside separate shark cages by the entranceway, with a member from each team (as chosen by his respective squad) starting the match.
  After five minutes, the remaining members from one team will be released from their shark cage and allowed to enter the match.
• When another three-minute period elapses, the remaining members from a second team are released from their shark cage and enter the match.
• Following another three-minute period, the final team’s members are released from their shark cage and enter the match.
• Once all three teams have entered the WarGames Match, a victory can be attained via pinfall or submission.
