WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2023 got off to an electrifying start with the intense Women’s WarGames match, setting the bar high for the Men’s WarGames match that followed. The weeks leading up to this showdown had seen Judgment Day wreak havoc on WWE Monday Night Raw, compelling Cody Rhodes to form an alliance with Seth Rollins, Sami Zayn, and Jey Uso to counter their onslaught. The intrigue escalated further when Drew McIntyre aligned himself with Judgment Day, and there were hints that Randy Orton might join Cody’s team.
Randy Orton left many wondering if he was actually going to appear
However, as the match was set to begin, concerns grew when Randy Orton was reported to be absent from the arena, leaving Seth Rollins to start the match at a disadvantage against Finn Balor. The action unfolded rapidly, with JD McDonaugh, Jey Uso, Damien Priest (notably preventing Drew McIntyre from entering), Sami Zayn, Drew McIntyre, Cody Rhodes, and finally Dominik Mysterio entering the fray. As the clock continued to tick down, and with Seth demanding answers about Orton’s whereabouts, the anticipation mounted until the fifth member of Cody’s team finally made a dramatic entrance, marking Randy Orton’s long-awaited debut.
While the match officially kicked off, there was a brief moment of intrigue when Rhea appeared with the Money in the Bank briefcase, hinting at a possible cash-in opportunity. Fortunately, Randy Orton swiftly intervened with a fiery presence. Standout moments included JD Monaugh’s daring attempt to escape to the top of the cage, only to be thwarted by Sami and Seth. After being tossed off the cage, Randy Orton intercepted with a thunderous RKO before JD hit the ground. Cody sealed the victory for his team with a decisive Cody Cutter on Damien Priest, all thanks to Randy’s timely arrival.
