[Roman Reigns makes his usual entrance to the ring]

Roman Reigns: "OKC! Acknowledge me."

[After a few seconds, Cody Rhodes also makes his usual entrance]

Cody Rhodes: "So, Oklahoma City, what do you want to talk about? Admittedly, I thought this would be different. I acknowledge that you are a man of your word, but the last time you gave me your word, it was for a match -- this time, this is war. Now, I told everybody who listened why I was involved with the WarGames. I guess I'm just like everybody else... what's in this for you?"

Roman Reigns: "What's in it for me? Last time I checked, I've been in this war -- you're just now joining. And this is the thing: I don't like you, you don't like me, we don't even really know each other that well. But there's one thing you know about me, and there's one thing I know about you -- we don't play around when it comes to my family. And last time I checked, half of this team is my family. And before they were on this team, they were in my Bloodline. That means I've been invested in The Usos for a long time, and I'm here to see that investment through."

Cody Rhodes: "Understood. Then all I can say is, welcome to my team."

[Cody offers a handshake, but is interrupted by CM Punk's entrance]

CM Punk: "Is it great to be alive on a Monday night in Oklahoma City or what? OKC, acknowledge us. See, I'm stealing your best material, but listen, there's an occasion for it, and the occasion is this: in major league sports terms, this is an all-star WarGames. So, I'm just here to say that I'm glad Cody's got your word. Me, personally, I don't need your word, because I figured me and you were cool -- I remember last year at WarGames when I saved your life."

Roman Reigns: "You saved my life... and then four months later, you ruined it."

CM Punk: "So I ruined your life to give you a reason to stab me in the back -- but I'm honestly not worried about you doing that. Because if you stab me in the back Saturday at WarGames, you're stabbing your cousins in the back. And Roman Reigns wouldn't be mean to his own family, would he? He wouldn't put his family between a rock and a hard place, would he?"

Cody Rhodes: "Hey, you already said it -- we are all on the same team here, Punk."

CM Punk: "And who said it was your team? Did I hear that right? Did I hear 'welcome to my team' as you extended a handshake to Roman Reigns? The last time I checked, this is not SmackDown, this ain't the USA Network -- this is Monday Night, this is Netflix. You can be the quarterback on Fridays, but here, I'm the champ. And the C in CM Punk stands for captain."

Roman Reigns: [over Punk's last few words] "Why don't you just pull them out and measure them now? This is ridiculous. Here's the thing: I don't care if it's your team [he gestures at Punk], I don't care if it's your team [he gestures at Rhodes], it doesn't even matter whose team it is. I don't like you -- just like I told you -- I don't like you. The only thing we can all agree on: I hate Paul Heyman, and I hate The Vision. That's my word to you, that's my promise -- it's that I hate them more than I hate you. And since we're being honest tonight, that title would look so much better on my shoulder." [he leaves the ring]

CM Punk: "Hey, you talking to me or you talking to Cody?"

Roman Reigns: [chuckling, off-mic] "That's for you to figure out."

CM Punk: [to Rhodes] "He's talking to you."

[3.0] "After watching the Roman punk segment from last night, it's hard to call this one good let alone even calling it a servicable one. They just yap for about 25 minutes saying a whole lot of nothing. On paper it should be a layup, but in reality it just seemed like a bunch of nonsense was being said. It's not the worst thing ever, I've seen worse from all 3 individuals but it's far from good."

[3.0] "Oof... this promo was really only a catchphrase battle. The whole thing was awkward, and I imagine it was awkward to the wrestlers, too. My interest in Roman holding yet ANOTHER title is almost zero. And then we were met with a nothing burger Men's Wargames match."
ParkwayDriver wrote on 10.12.2025:
[7.0] "Good segment featuring three distinct top wrestlers and personalities that showed that all three still have their issues with each other but were putting them aside with the goal of taking on The Vision. A good tease at the end with Roman eyeing a world title but not making it clear which title he was eyeing."

[10.0] "I can't believe it, you're not even able to recognize the great segments anymore. For a moment you saw a very good moment on Monday Night RAW and you're not able to value it as it deserves. This segment is pure gold, as many things made by Roman Reigns as Tribal Chief. (9.5/10)"

[5.0] "Random segment. Long and uninteresting. A segment reminiscent of a catastrophic WarGames construction."

[3.0] "This feel like an awkward video game cutscene. Any amount of emotion, intensity, or storytelling here feels wholly inauthentic."
Brye wrote on 10.12.2025:
[3.0] "I just can't get into a lot of WWE promos because they feel like they strip out all the genuine emotion from them. Sometimes it still shines through but ffs, this just felt so incredibly lame and lifeless. I'd rather someone struggle over their words and sounds awkward but mean what they're saying over something like this."
onionknight wrote on 10.12.2025:
[5.0] "Too many catch phrases for my liking. This was all a bit manufactured to try and justify war games, because there really is 0 reason for us to care who wins or who loses (what does the winning team even get out of this? ). The only part I thought was interesting was Punk's jab at Roman about family, that was an actually interesting story beat, and I guess the ending sets up some interesting stuff, but overall just failed to hook me or get me pumped for their match"
Raditz Flair wrote on 10.12.2025:
[4.0] "Fewer things in wrestling make me roll my eyes more than Punk's "IS IT GWEAT TO BE AWIVE BLAH BLAH BLAH". It's so unnatural coming from him. He really wants to be a white meat babyface but he looks and acts too much like a ballbag. Roman and Cody say the usual WWE speak which is what it is. This is all the same shit for WarGames for the last 3 years. CAN THEY CO EXIST?"
