WWE Survivor Series 2023 was an exciting end to the year for WWE. It had lots of surprises and great matches between the wrestling stars. The big news was CM Punk returns to WWE after being away for nine years, and Randy Orton returning after getting better from a serious injury that kept him out for more than a year.
First Match (Women’s WarGames): Team Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair, and Shotzi defeated Damage CTRL.
Second Match: Gunther defeated The Miz by submission, retaining the Intercontinental Championship.
Third Match: Santos Escobar defeated Dragon Lee.
Fourth Match: Rhea Ripley defeated Zoey Stark, retaining her Women’s World Championship.
Fifth Match (Men’s WarGames): Team Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, Sami Zayn, and Jey Uso defeated The Judgment Day and Drew McIntyre.
The match started with 4 wrestlers from Cody Rhodes’ team against 5 from The Judgment Day team. In the crucial moments of the match, Rhea Ripley appeared with the Money in the Bank briefcase, intending to cash it in for Damian Priest, but was surprised by the return of the legend, Randy Orton.
