Ricochet, Pete Dunne And War Raiders Beat Undisputed ERA In War Games At TakeOver: War Games II
War Games is over.
The second installment of War Games presented by NXT commenced tonight inside the Staples Center is Los Angeles, California. The team of WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne, NXT North American Champion Ricochet, and “Warbeard” Hanson and Raymond Rowe of War Raiders battled The Undisputed ERA.
The match started off with rivals Ricochet and Adam Cole but the odds were immediately stacked against Ricochet because The Undisputed ERA had the numbers advantage due to Kyle O’Reilly picking up the win over Hanson on NXT TV.

The next to come out to the cage was Hanson to help Ricochet and following Hanson was the “Messiah Of The Backbreaker” Roderick Strong who came in like a ball of fire to assist Adam Cole and Kyle O’Reilly.

When it came down to Bobby Fish who was the last left in the Undisputed ERA’s cage, he went to the cage that contained Pete Dunne and put a second lock on the door.

Pete Dunne was eventually bailed out of the cage by the officials and from that point forward the war was on. These eight men took each other to their limits with chairs, tables and kendo sticks. It was an all out brawl in the cage but in the end it was the teamwork of Ricochet and Pete Dunne who hit their finishers back to back as Pete Dunne hit the “Bitter End” on Adam Cole and Ricochet followed up with the 450-splash and both Dunne and Ricochet flung their arms over the limp body over Adam Cole to pick up the victory for their respective War Games team.
