War Games is in just a few weeks, and we’ve learned more about the plans for the show.

Fightful Select reported months ago that War Games was planned for Survivor Series, and confirmed it a month ago, but the combatants for the men’s side of things have been planned for quite some time as well. A warning to please navigate away if you wish to avoid potential spoilers.

It was reported by Wrestling Observer Newsletter this week that Drew McIntyre was being considered for WWE War Games, but beyond that, we’ve actually heard that’s been the working plan for the match for months now. Specifically, McIntyre has been planned for the heel/Judgment Day side of things, making it a 5-man team. The plan since this summer for the babyface side was a returning Randy Orton, with the reveal tentatively planned before the day of the show as to avoid any CM Punk speculation.

As with anything, it’s important to note that creative plans often change, albeit far less these days than in previous years. However, in recent months, Orton and McIntyre were both in the plans.

We were also told that a Women’s War Game match is planned, as one could surmise from the end of Smackdown. PWInsider reported that Becky Lynch was expected to be involved, though we've been unable to confirm that yet. 

If you’re aggregating or reposting this story, we ask that you be cognizant of those who also wish to avoid possible spoilers.

Honestly Drew & Ortan being the final two members make sense. Drew given his slow heel turn & him having issues with Cody Jey Sami & Seth. Meanwhile you can play up on Cody & Randy history. I do like that both brands have separate war games matches. The woman's war games being the main focus of SmackDown & the mens being RAW main focus

My guess is Orton turns on Cody and they feud through maybe the Rumble.
