Bengaluru, December 1: The two teams with advantages for Sunday’s WWE NXT WarGames matches from the male and female division were decided as Team New School and Team Kai got the upper-hand by winning their scheduled matches.

This week’s WarGames go-home edition of NXT 2.0 saw Kay Lee Ray defeat Dakota Kai in a WarGames Advantage Ladder Match to earn the advantage on her team’s behalf.

The Women’s WarGames match will feature Team Gonzalez (Raquel Gonzalez, Io Shirai, Cora Jade, and KLR) taking on Team Kai (Kai, NXT Women’s Champion Mandy Rose, NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions Gigi Dolin, and Jacy Jayne). The two teams featured in a brawl to kick things off for the show.

Then in the main event of the November 30 episode, Bron Breakker defeated Johnny Gargano in another WarGames Advantage Ladder Match to earn the advantage for his team.

As for the Men’s WarGames lineup, it stands Team Old School (Gargano, NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa, Pete Dunne, LA Knight) vs. Team New School (Breakker, NXT North American Champion Carmelo Hayes, Tony D’Angelo, Grayson Waller). These two teams also brawled to bring a chaotic end to last night’s episode.

In more news for WarGames 2021, Kyle O’Reilly and Von Wagner vs. WWE NXT Tag Team Champions Marcel Barthel and Fabian Aichner of Imperium, has officially been announced for the event.

Last night, Wagner and O’Reilly defeated Legado del Fantasma’s Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza to capture the new number-one contenders’ position and thereby earn a title shot at WarGames. Wagner and O’Reilly pinned Wilde with the Total Elimination maneuver.
