The 11/11 edition of Monday Night Raw served as a double taping for next week’s show. Although taped shows are usually uneventful, WWE had a couple of surprises up its sleeve this time. A segment setting up the women’s WarGames match for Survivor Series took place during the show.
While the heel team found their fifth member in Candice LeRae, the babyface team stood one person short. It didn’t take long for them to reveal the final member, a returning Rhea Ripley. Mami stormed down to the ring and faced off with her rivals, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez.
As such, a brawl between both sides ensued, which ended with Ripley’s team standing tall. In a photo caught by the fans in attendance, The Eradicator then proceeded to show the middle finger to the opposite side. To no surprise, Ripley showed up wearing a mask following an orbital injury sustained weeks ago.
During the October 29 edition of NXT, Morgan and Rodriguez brutalized Ripley in the parking lot, leaving her in a bloody mess. Hence, it was only a matter of time before the former Judgment Day member returned to exact revenge on the duo. SPOILER ALERT ⚠️ The first team for Survivor Series Wargames .
