#4 Undisputed Era vs. Team Ciampa (WarGames - NXT TakeOver: WarGames 2019)

Two years after the return of the steel structure, the Undisputed Era once again did battle in WarGames. After being a part of this signature speciality every year, the group have become synonymous with the titular encounter. Last year, they did battle with a team captained by Tommaso Ciampa.

Ciampa was joined by Keith Lee, Dominik Dijakovic, and the returning Kevin Owens. Along with the wonderful reaction the Chicago crowd gave Owens for his return to NXT, it was an amazing WarGames filled with high octane action. The eight Superstars continually upped the ante in the bout, until the final spectacular spot that left every single member of the WWE Universe speechless.

In a devastating move, the Black Heart hit an air raid crash from the top of the cage into a table set up in the ring. The sheer guts that it took to execute this maneuver is worthy of praise, but the fact that it came at the end of a purely splendid battle made it even more satisfying.


#3 The Four Horsemen vs. Sting's Squadron (WarGames - WrestleWar 1991)

The feud between Ric Flair and Sting is one of the most storied in the history of WCW. In 1991, Ric Flair headed a new variation of the Four Horsemen with Barry Windham, Larry Zbyszko, and Sid. This time, Flair's team faced Sting's Squadron, which consisted of Flyin' Brian Pillman and the Steiner Brothers inside of WarGames at WrestleWar.

There was one moment in this clash that would be remembered for years to come for the wrong reasons. The roof of the two-ring steel cage structure never came into the equation quite as memorably as this contest.

Sid delivered a powerbomb to Pillman, where Flyin' Brian struck the roof with his head. Apparently, this spot was done purposely by Sid, due to Pillman being unwilling to take his finish.

Other than this scary incident, the WarGames encounter was a tremendous four-on-four battle that spotlighted the ability of all eight men involved. In the end, it was the Horsemen who won their first WarGames.

This bout received a five-star rating from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, and is viewed as one of the best matches of 1991 by many wrestling fans.
