The Wargames cage match has taken the place of the traditional Survivor Series match at the event. Even though the Wargames cage is a great concept that originated from WWE legend Dusty Rhodes during the NWA/WCW days, it's disappointing that the WWE hasn't included at least one classic elimination eight-person tag team match.
The Survivor Series match involves two teams of four wrestlers competing in an elimination tag team match. The teams must eliminate each other individually through pinfall, submission, count-out, or disqualification. Unfortunately, in WWE 2K24, players need to create their own proper Survivor Series elimination match.

To make the Survivor Series elimination tag team match a part of the official list of match types in WWE 2K24, you need to create the match yourself using custom matches. Here's how you can do it:
First, go to the creations menu screen and choose Custom Matches. Then, select New to begin the process.
Select 8-Man Matches and Accept.
Change Pin or Submission as Both and Accept.
For authenticity, ensure that KOs, DQs, and Ring Outs are switched on.
Then, ensure that the Elimination option is switched on and click Accept.
If you want the Survivor Series match to be shorter, you can limit the number of finishers to three and set the health to low or medium.
After making these adjustments, click on Accept and decide whether or not to include weapons stored underneath the ring.

Editor's P/S:
The article provides a detailed guide on creating a custom Survivor Series match in WWE 2K24, offering a solution to the absence of the traditional Survivor Series match type. While the Wargames cage match is a worthy addition, the lack of the classic elimination match is disappointing. The guide empowers players to recreate the iconic match format, enhancing the overall gameplay experience.
However, it's important to note that the article focuses solely on creating the match within the game's custom options. It does not address the broader issue of why WWE has chosen to replace the traditional Survivor Series match with Wargames. Fans may appreciate the inclusion of both match types, allowing them to enjoy different styles of competition. Ultimately, the decision lies with WWE to determine the format that best suits their current storytelling and entertainment goals.
