Becky Lynch is currently scheduled to be in Boston, Massachusetts for WWE Survivor Series 2022 this weekend, PWInsider's Mike Johnson reports.

This isn't confirmation that the missing star will be on the 26 November premium live event itself, just that she will be in the house at TD Garden. Nonetheless, as Johnson notes, Becky is in "pole position" to fill the final spot remaining in the women's WarGames match, with Bianca Belair, Alexa Bliss, Asuka, and Mia Yim still looking for a partner to face Damage CTRL, Nikki Cross, and Rhea Ripley.

WWE is set to announce who will fill that mystery spot on Friday's SmackDown, as confirmed during Raw.

Fightful Select reported earlier this week that WWE had "discussed and planned" for Lynch to return in the women's WarGames bout. It was stressed, at the time, that plans could change between the report coming out and Survivor Series hitting the airwaves.

Lynch has been out of action since SummerSlam 2022, where she separated her shoulder in a bout with Belair. Damage CTRL attacked the former Raw and SmackDown Women's Champion on Raw two nights later, providing her kayfabe write-off, so WarGames would be an appropriate spot for Lynch's comeback.
