These matches are in addition to:

NXT Takeover: War-games takes place on Saturday night, November 18th from Houston, Texas at the Toyota Center.

War Games was a match created by the late “American Dream” Dustry Rhodes. The first War Games match took place back in 1987 during the NWA’s “Great American Bash” tour. War Games would go on to become one of the NWA & WCW’s signature matches and was the feature attraction of WCW’s annual Fall Brawl pay-per-view from 1993-1998.

ROH Champion Cody Rhodes commented on the news of War Games returning, noting that WWE informed him about the news before it was announced.
