Triple H said in a media conference call today that there will be no “roof” on top of the WarGames cage at this Saturday’s NXT TakeOver.

HHH confirms there won’t be a roof on the War Games cage. Style has changed, mentions possibility to do moves off cage or other things. Doesn’t think they’ve changed the concept. ^JC

Difference of this War Games compared to past—HHH says anytime 20 years between something you have opportunity to do it and modify it with hopes to make better. They had some slight concerns with how it's done in the past.

Here are the rules of the match that WWE previously announced:

– The three-member teams of SAnitY (Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe & Killian Dain), Undisputed ERA (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish & Kyle O’Reilly), and The Authors of Pain (Akam & Rezar) & Roderick Strong will wage war inside a massive steel cage that surrounds TWO rings.

– All three teams will be contained inside separate shark cages by the entranceway, with a member from each team (as chosen by his respective squad) starting the match.

– After five minutes, the remaining members from one team will be released from their shark cage and allowed to enter the match.

– When another three-minute period elapses, the remaining members from a second team are released from their shark cage and enter the match.

– Following another three-minute period, the final team’s members are released from their shark cage and enter the match.

– Once all three teams have entered the WarGames Match, a victory can be attained via pinfall or submission.
