7-time WWE champion to cost Team Rhea Ripley at Survivor Series WarGames? Exploring the possibility
The excitement is palpable for Survivor Series: WarGames. Now that Rhea Ripley has returned, the WWE Universe is looking forward to seeing her team squash Liv Morgan and her allies in Vancouver, Canada. It should be a cinch for Mami and company. After all, while Team Morgan has two World Champions, Team Ripley has the likes of Rhea herself, Iyo Sky, Naomi, Bianca Belair, and Jade Cargill.
However, having a strong team on paper is just half the battle. A lot can go wrong in WarGames, and there is a chance that Team Rhea Ripley could find themselves in a spot of trouble. How? Well, a seven-time WWE champion could potentially cost them the match. Of course, this all depends on how things unfold in the coming weeks, but yes, Ripley and her team would do well to keep an eye on The Role Model, Bayley.
In the next couple of weeks, Bayley will be focused on becoming the Women's US Champion. But, there is potential for things to go awry in the tournament. Imagine a situation where the multiple-time World Champion and Women's Tag Team Champion defeats her potential opponent, Bianca Belair, by some underhanded tactic in the semi-final, only to lose to her good friend Naomi in the final.
Her frustration in such a scenario could reach an all-time high, leading to her potentially attacking both Naomi and the current Women's Tag Team Champions at Survivor Series.
It would be quite the betrayal, as Bayley reverts back to her fiendish ways. But, as things stand, this is nothing more than speculation. We will just have to wait and see how things unfold.
Rhea Ripley returned to RAW last night sporting a new piece of gear
It had been quite a while since the WWE Universe had seen Rhea Ripley, and quite frankly, few expected her to return last night. The belief was that she would be out for months after suffering an orbital bone injury last month. However, it seems she has been cleared for a return, but is rightfully taking some precautions.
The Eradicator certainly made her presence felt last night, storming into the ring as soon as her music hit. Of course, she was seen in her patented all-black getup, but with a bit of twist. Considering her injury, Rhea Ripley was sporting a new piece of gear, a face mask, that made her look even more intimidating than usual.
The mask proved useful as well, as it packed quite a punch when she headbutted her arch-nemesis Liv Morgan. It will be interesting to see if it comes in handy during the WarGames match.
