Report: ‘No real heat’ on Paul Heyman for shoving fan at WWE Survivor Series

Posted on by Joseph Currier

There is reportedly “no real heat” on Paul Heyman for a fan incident he was involved in at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames.

Following Saturday’s PLE, a video has gone viral on social media showing Heyman shoving a young fan out of the way at Petco Park in San Diego. Heyman and Logan Paul are surrounded by security in the video, but the fan is able to get through them and reach Heyman before Heyman shoves him out of the way. Fightful Select reports that, within WWE, there is no real heat on Heyman over what happened — with security considered more at fault for letting the fan get to Heyman in the first place.

“I’m told by WWE sources there was no real heat on Paul Heyman pushing a child out of his way at Survivor Series,” the report said. “There was more heat on security for allowing anyone to get to him.”

Heyman was the manager of the winning team in the men’s WarGames match at Survivor Series. The heel group of Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Drew McIntyre & Brock Lesnar defeated CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns & The Usos in the main event of the show. A hooded figure — who appears to be the returning Austin Theory — helped the heel side get the win.

Before Survivor Series, Heyman stated that the PLE would be an “infomercial” for WrestleMania season. Rhodes vs. Reigns and Punk vs. Breakker appear to be the WrestleMania directions going forward.

Update on WWE’s plans for Survivor Series: WarGames

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Though Seth Rollins is unable to compete, it doesn’t look like WWE will be changing up its WarGames plans too drastically.

Dave Meltzer reports in the new issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that — as of now — WWE’s plans for the men’s WarGames match at Survivor Series is still for CM Punk & Roman Reigns to lead a babyface team against The Vision. Rollins was originally supposed to be the leader of the heel team until his shoulder injury, which led to WWE running an angle where his Vision teammates Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed turned against him.

Meltzer wrote:

Since many have asked, as of press time, the men’s WarGames match was still a Punk & Reigns team against The Vision-led team. Some thought with all the injuries that it would be changed to the Wyatts vs. MFTs since they are clearly doing a multi-person program there as well.

At one point, the WarGames plan was for Punk, Reigns, Jey Uso, Jacob Fatu, and a fifth partner to face Rollins, Breakker, Reed, Brock Lesnar & Austin Theory.

Fatu is out of action right now due to a dental procedure but might be cleared to return by Survivor Series weekend.

It was reported this week that, after Rollins’ injury, there are still voices within WWE pushing for Theory to remain in creative plans in a significant manner. It remains to be seen whether Theory will be joining Breakker & Reed in The Vision when he returns.

Rollins has undergone surgery for the shoulder injury after suffering it at Crown Jewel: Perth against Cody Rhodes. The injury forced Rollins to vacate the World Heavyweight Championship. A new champion will be decided at Saturday Night’s Main Event on November 1 when Punk and Jey Uso face off for the vacant title.

Survivor Series: WarGames is being held in San Diego on Saturday, November 29.

Posted on by Joseph Currier

With the first matches for the show now announced, WWE has revealed the official poster for Survivor Series: WarGames 2024.

Paul “Triple H” Levesque shared the poster on social media today, spotlighting the Bloodline civil war that will headline Survivor Series. In the men’s WarGames match, Roman Reigns, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Sami Zayn, and a partner to be announced will face off against Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and their fifth partner.

The two teams searched for a fifth member on Raw last night with Seth Rollins turning both sides down.

This is the third straight year that WarGames has been the theme of Survivor Series. Created by Dusty Rhodes in 1987 for Jim Crockett Promotions, Levesque previously utilized the match in NXT and then brought it to the main roster after gaining control of creative.

Survivor Series has an earlier-than-usual start time with the main card airing live on Peacock/WWE Network starting at 6 p.m. Eastern on November 30. Bad Blood also started at that time last month, but that was due to the UFC having a pay-per-view that night. There is no UFC event on the day of Survivor Series.

AEW has a three-hour programming block on November 30 with Collision and Rampage. That begins at 4 p.m. Eastern and will face competition from the Survivor Series pre-show and start of the main card.

Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada will be the venue for Survivor Series.

Posted on by Ethan Renner

Team Bianca claimed victory inside WarGames at Saturday’s WWE Survivor Series event. 

The team of Bianca Belair, Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Shotzi defeated the Damage CTRL foursome of IYO SKY, Asuka, Kairi Sane, and Bayley to win the women’s WarGames match to kick off Survivor Series after Lynch pinned Bayley after a Manhandle Slam off the ropes through a table. 

Belair’s team began the bout with the order of entry advantage following a fan vote in a poll sponsored by Ruffles decided that factor. The match featured many of the expected weapons spots, including IYO SKY reprising her trademark blind crossbody off the top of the cage with a trashcan placed over her body. 

Other key moments in the bout included Belair hitting a double superplex on SKY and Bayley as the Damage CTRL duo tried to hold her by her braided hair, Sane hitting her Insane Elbow, Lynch hitting a legdrop off the top through a table, plus Belair spraying Asuka with a fire extinguisher.

Flair and Lynch also embraced in the ring to a big crowd reaction, settling their years-long storyline beef that hit its apex at Survivor Series two years ago with a singles match. 

Early in the bout, Lynch was busted open and was attended to by medical personnel to treat the cut during the contest.
