The legendary War Games match returns this Saturday night at NXT Takeover. The match will see three teams battle inside of the structure that was made famous in the NWA and WCW so many years ago. It will also be the first time that the match type has happened under the WWE banner.
Triple H spoke about the excitement behind the match in an interview with For The Win. During which, he revealed the reaction of some RAW & Smackdown stars when it was announced that War Games was coming back.
Triple H says that multiple stars asked him to be a part of it after the news broke:
“I’m thrilled, man. I think for our fans, it’s a long time coming. I think for our talent, our locker room, I haven’t seen people this excited for a match from a talent standpoint in a long time. When we announced it, even our main roster talent were coming after me going ‘WarGames, can I be in that?! Is there any way I can do that show?’
He also says the match is a big opportunity for the NXT stars involved:
“They’re excited for it, and I think for the NXT locker room… it’s a way to take something historically meaningful for them and make it theirs. Take the past and make it the future, and put their own spin on it and rebrand it and make it their own”
Can’t help but wonder who wanted to be a part of the match.
