17-time WWE champion to replace Rhea Ripley; major return at Survivor Series: WarGames? Exploring potential twist
Rhea Ripley returned to WWE RAW to continue her feud with Liv Morgan leading to WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2024. However, there is a slight chance of her getting replaced at the event.
On this week's WWE RAW, Rhea Ripley made a big-time return to television as the final member of the babyface team at the Women's Survivor Series: WarGames match. She will now join Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill, Naomi, and IYO SKY to battle Nia Jax, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Tiffany Stratton, and Candice LaRae inside the punishing structure. However, her safety isn't guaranteed as her rivals could attack again. In such an event, Ripley may be replaced by a returning Charlotte Flair.
Fans may remember Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan unleashed a vicious assault on Rhea Ripley on the October 29 edition of the black and silver brand. While she, fortunately, returned to claim her place at WarGames, she could suffer a similar assault yet again at the hands of Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. This is highly possible if the company plans to extend the ongoing rivalry between Rhea and Liv up to WrestleMania 41.
At such time, the 17-time WWE champion Charlotte Flair could return to join the babyface team if the stars align. Flair recently posted a video on social media. If this was a tease at her potential return at the upcoming premium live event, fans may be up for a treat.
This is just speculation for now, and nothing is confirmed. The upcoming episodes of WWE RAW and SmackDown will give more clarity on the plans.
Rhea Ripley's teammate was also assaulted ahead of WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2024
Rhea Ripley isn't the only one from the babyface team to suffer a backstage assault ahead of WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2024.
On this week's WWE SmackDown episode, Jade Cargill was seen knocked out on a car windshield in the parking lot and was rushed to the hospital. While the attacker is unknown, the beatdown may keep the Women's Tag Team Champion out of action at the upcoming premium live event.
At such time, Charlotte Flair could also replace her, and if the company plans to book Bayley's heel turn, she could be revealed as the mystery attacker. All questions will also be answered in the upcoming weeks.
