Becky Lynch was always WarGames certainty as far as WWE were concerned, despite rumours of other potential team members and the relatively late addition of Mia Yim.

This is according to Fightful Select, who noted that Lynch was already on the board for the babyfaces before recent WWE returnee Yim was added to the team.

Amidst much speculation, Lynch returned on the Survivor Series go-home SmackDown as ‘The Man’, fully embracing her old babyface persona in her first appearance on the show since Damage CTRL beat her down and out of action on the post-SummerSlam edition of Monday Night Raw.

‘The Biggest Party Of The Summer’ was the final destination for the ‘Big Time Becks’ gimmick. Having lost her last crack at WWE Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair, she joined forces with ‘The EST’ to stand down Bayley, Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky on the night they formed. She professed great respect for long-standing rival Belair after the fact, and proved as much physically upon her return.

Yim’s own return and addition to the double cage showdown was tied to her and The OC’s ongoing feud with The Judgment Day. Yim and Rhea Ripley were standouts in the content, and continued their hostilities in singles AND tag matches on last night’s Raw.
