The landscape of WWE’s Survivor Series: WarGames has been decisively shaped, with both the men’s and women’s teams now fully confirmed for the November 29th premium live event. Recent developments on both SmackDown and Raw have dramatically altered allegiances and set the stage for what promises to be a brutal and captivating clash.
The culmination of weeks of tension unfolded as the final pieces of the women’s WarGames puzzle fell into place. Following SmackDown, the shocking announcement of AJ Lee’s inclusion alongside Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, Rhea Ripley, and IYO SKY sent ripples through the WWE Universe. However, the night’s events took a dramatic turn when Becky Lynch revealed her own formidable team: the Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane), Lash Legend, and the imposing Nia Jax.
The initial reveal of Lee as Ripley’s fifth teammate during a face-to-face confrontation was quickly disrupted by a calculated attack from Asuka and her allies. As Lee rushed to aid her potential teammates, a stunning betrayal unfolded as Becky Lynch blindsided her, solidifying her heel turn and aligning herself with the Kabuki Warriors and their associates. The image of Lynch shaking hands with Asuka signaled a clear and decisive alliance.
The fallout from SmackDown continued on Raw, where Lee’s distraction inadvertently contributed to Maxxine Dupri’s victory over Lynch for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. This incident prompted a backstage conversation between Lee and Ripley, hinting at underlying tensions within the newly formed team. What does this mean for their cohesion heading into WarGames?
