Women's WarGames Match Gains Two New Participants On WWE Raw
Still one spot left on babyface team with Survivor Series taking place in Boston.
The women's WarGames match inched closer to a full lineup this Monday night on WWE Raw, with each team adding one wrestler to their complement.
The five-on-five double cage match will make its main roster bow at Survivor Series next weekend, with both a men's and women's bout. The women's match was immediately snapped up into the Damage CTRL/Bianca Belair and friends feud, with three spots on each team immediately being filled. Nikki Cross then was added as an ally to Damage CTRL, though it's entirely possible she becomes a true wildcard on the night of the event.
Raw Monday night saw Bayley and company approach Mia Yim and try to sweet talk her into joining them, only for the Head Baddie in Charge to side with the opposition later, announcing she was joining Bianca, Asuka and Alexa Bliss for WarGames.
If you couldn't predict what happened next, you probably don't have a pulse.

Yep, Rhea Ripley joined Damage CTRL's team based solely on her desire to oppose and get her hands on Mia Yim inside the double cage, thus filling out the heel team.
That leaves one spot vacant for Belair's squad, with Survivor Series taking place in Boston. While that makes Sasha Banks the sentimental favorite, it's entirely possible Candice LeRae returns to join the team. It was much easier to envision Banks and Naomi filling both empty spots, but with Yim on board, it diminishes the chances of the former WWE Women's Tag Team Champions returning after six months away.
Note we said "diminishes," not eliminates. Anything can happen, as the cliché goes.
