Survivor Series WarGames Review: The Most Confusing WWE PLE of the Year? | Episode 50!
This is our 50th episode of The Golden Shovel Wrestling Podcast, and we’re celebrating with a full review of WWE Survivor Series: WarGames — a PLE that left us confused, disappointed, and unsure where WWE storytelling is headed.
We examine both the Men's and Women's WarGames matches, explore the next steps in the AJ Lee vs Becky Lynch feud, and question whether Roman Reigns is being lined up to win the Royal Rumble and chase another world title.
We also break down Dominik Mysterio defeating John Cena to reclaim the Intercontinental Title, Liv Morgan’s return, and the Women’s World Title match featuring Stephanie Vaquer vs Nikki Bella.
Aside from Roman’s likely direction, WWE’s creative roadmap feels foggy — so for our 50th episode, we’re digging into what worked, what didn’t, and where things might go next.
