The final WWE Raw before Survivor Series WarGames will be all about the PPV event buildups. We expect to learn the final name for the WarGames Match set from the Women’s Division. Two former women’s champions and WarGames Match participants will be in action an advantage match. Plus, there will be fallouts from last week around the United States Title when the November 21 episode of takes place at the MVP Arena in Albany New York.
This Saturday night, the team of Rhea Ripley, Nikki Cross, and DAMAGE CTRL (Bayley, IYO SKY, and Dakota Kai) will go head-to-head against Team Bianca (WWE Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair, Alexa Bliss, Asuka, Mia Yim, and an unnamed partner) in a WarGames Match at the upcoming Survivor Series premium live event.
Ripley was the final name to be announced for Team Bayley while the fifth and final member of Team Bianca is expected to be revealed this Monday on WWE Raw. Belair refused to give away the name last week as she wanted to keep the surprise alive for this week.
Candice LeRae is the most relevant name in the context to be the next participant in the WarGames Match as she has experience in competing in past WarGames Matches on NXT. However, Wrestling Observer noted that she’s dealing with an injury. In that case, a returning Tegan Nox, Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks, Naomi, or even Charlotte Flair is being speculated in this capacity.

Rhea Ripley vs. Asuka in a WarGames Advantage Match has been announced as the potential main event of this week’s episode of WWE Raw. This match will also have a special stipulation attached to it that will provide an advantage heading into WarGames.
Firstly, the showdown marks Ripley’s first match on WWE Raw since her victory over Alexa Bliss, Doudrop, and Liv Morgan on the June 6 episode of the show. On that night, she became the number-one contender for Bianca Belair’s Raw Women’s Championship. The two were originally slated to collide in a title match at Money in the Bank PLE.
But she ended up being sidelined with a brain/teeth injury. Ripley has therefore missed nearly four months of in-ring competition. She then came back to action in a mixed-tag match alongside Damien Priest at a WWE live event, last month. This week’s episode of WWE Raw marks her first TV outing on the main roster in almost five months.
Ripley’s encounter against the woman whom she defeated at Wrestlemania for WWE Raw Women’s Title is very important in terms of WarGames. The winner will earn her respective team the entrance order advantage in the WarGames match. Ripley has previously been in two WarGames matches on NXT while Asuka hasn’t been part of this gimmick match, before this.

WWE Raw Preview (21/11/22): Possible US Title Match at Survivor Series
In a surprising turn of events, Austin Theory cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase during the November 7 episode of WWE Raw. For the first time ever, a MITB briefcase holder cashed in his contract for the United States Championship and failed miserably due to interferences from Bobby Lashley.
The youngest Money in the Bank winner in WWE history was on the verge of pinning Rollins for the title with his A-Town Down finisher but Lashley dragged him out of the ring and beat him down, allowing Rollins to pin him.
Due to the biggest loss of his career, Theory has seemingly been fuming and he launched an attack on Rollins after his title retention against Finn Balor, last week. Posing with the title, his intentions are clear and that’s to regain the title by any means. It seems that Rollins vs. Theory for the US Title could be announced for Survivor Series on this week’s WWE Raw.
