Elsewhere at Survivor Series, ten of WWE’s top women will step inside WarGames as well. This year’s lineup will pit Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, Rhea Ripley, IYO SKY, and AJ Lee against Becky Lynch, Kairi Sane, Asuka, Lash Legend, and Nia Jax.
Since returning to the WWE sphere in September, Lee has looked quite strong, having handed Lynch a mixed tag team loss at WWE Wrestlepalooza, then costing “The Man” the Women’s Intercontinental Championship on “Raw.” In the eyes of Thunder Rosa, Lee’s momentum will finally shift during WarGames.
“I’m not worried about AJ because you have Becky,” Rosa said. “Becky has been an expert on helping people that haven’t wrestled for a long time to look excellent, or at least try to make them look excellent. As she did for Trish Stratus in that cage match, that’s probably one of the best matches that Trish Stratus ever had, in my personal opinion. Honestly, technically wise and what they did, it was pretty dope, so I’m pretty sure they’re going to come up with something really good for AJ.
“I was doing a lot of research about who’s going to win, and I feel because of what AJ is trying to do with the women’s division and in wrestling with the women now, I think AJ will be the one who’s taking the pin, more than anybody else.”
Prior to her recent return, Lee hadn’t wrestled since March 2015. In the years following, her upcoming WarGames teammates all enjoyed success as world champions, with Ripley and SKY holding singles gold earlier this year. Flair and Bliss reigned as the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions up until November 10, when Sane and Asuka dethroned them on “Raw.”
