The former &#8220;Wiseman&#8221; stated he had a vision that his five-man army would inevitably end their competitors inside the devil&#8217;s playground that is WarGames. Heyman would pass the mic onto the &#8220;Maverick.&#8221; But before he could say anything, The Usos would immediately interrupt, reinforcing the fact that their team laid out Heyman&#8217;s boys on Raw. Heyman would say they&#8217;d better know their place, considering they&#8217;re outnumbered. Of course, The Usos didn&#8217;t come alone, as the music of the Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes would play. &#8220;Kingdom&#8221; would play, but there was no Rhodes. We saw in the parking lot that Drew McIntyre had assaulted the champ in his own travel bus, as Jimmy and Jey rushed to help Cody.<\/li>\n<li>Once again, Ilja Dragunov defends his United States Title in a &#8220;U.S. Open Challenge.&#8221; This week, a superstar straight from WWE Monday Night Raw, JD McDonagh of The Judgment Day, would answer the call. Physical doesn&#8217;t even begin to describe this bout between Dragunov and McDonagh, with both men absolutely battering one another from bell to bell. JD has an impressive showing, almost capturing the title with a picture-esque Moonsault that only got him a near-fall. Dragunov would get his bearings, hitting a Torpedo Moscow, then a Powerbomb. The &#8220;Mad Dragon&#8221; would cap off this successful title defense by putting away JD with an H-Bomb.<\/li>\n<li>Backstage, we see Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair discussing WarGames. Bliss would lead Charlotte into a room, occupied by IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley. Bliss stated that they needed to speak, as SKY and Bliss would exit the room. Cathy Kelley would catch up with Nick Aldis to get an update on Rhodes&#8217; status. Aldis informed Kelley that he&#8217;s still being checked out. The SmackDown GM issued a stern warning to Heyman and his boys once they ran into each other backstage.<\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Next up, the first of two 1st round &#8220;Last Time is Now&#8221; Tournament matches commences next, with Carmelo Hayes taking on The Vision&#8217;s Bronson Reed. Hayes came out of the gate hot, but was soon swatted away by Reed. The Vision, along with Logan Paul, would &#8220;support&#8221; Bronson at ringside, and from there on out, Reed dominated Melo. He really is\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">him<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, as Hayes went on an insane run. Despite the odds stacked firmly against him, Hayes would mount an unbelievable comeback, even taking out The Vision all by himself with a dive. Hayes had Reed on the ropes. As such, Breakker saw an opportunity to turn the tide for his teammate, attempting to Spear Hayes through the Barricade, only to meet a Superkick via Jey Uso. All hell broke loose. Reed would throw Hayes into the ring. As the official was checking on Melo, the battered Cody Rhodes would come out of nowhere and deliver a Cross Rhodes to Bronson. Reed was laid out, and with the referee count up to a 9, Reed couldn&#8217;t answer the ten-count, leading to a Hayes win.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A fired-up Rhodes put everyone on notice, essentially saying that he will destroy every person Heyman has built in WarGames, claiming it&#8217;s his birthright to obliterate The &#8220;Oracle&#8217;s&#8221; Team.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Next up, tag team action as Fraxiom takes on #DIY. Both teams went at it, and it was even throughout. Axiom would almost take the W for his team after an Avalanche Spanish Fly. As Axiom was setting up for the Golden Ratio, Candice LeRae would interfere, pulling off his mask, allowing Gargano to pin him for the victory.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">We see Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair hash out their differences, with the &#8220;Eradicator&#8221; making it clear that their history was all for competition, and if she were asked who she would want to go to war with, it would be &#8220;The Queen.&#8221; Flair would reply &#8220;Yes,&#8221; as they shook hands, sealing the deal for San Diego.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">For the final first-round match of the &#8220;Last Time is Now&#8221; Tournament, Finn Balor prepares for battle against Penta. These two had a hectic show-stealing bout, with both men going full throttle once the bell rang. Balor almost had Penta for a moment, but the Luchador bounced back, and with a Mexican destroyer, Penta <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/11\/21\/john-cena-last-time-is-now-tournament-1st-round-concludes-2-more-qualify-on-wwe-smackdown\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">advances to the quarterfinals<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Michael Cole would make an important announcement about <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/11\/21\/sheamus-out-of-john-cena-last-time-is-now-tournament\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">The Last Time is Now Tournament<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Team RHIYO announces the final member of their team for WWE Survivor Series: WarGames, with AJ Lee joining them, before getting assaulted by The Kabuki Warriors and their unit.
