Bayley Joins WarGames Match

Jade Cargill’s injury not only affected the tournament but also the Women’s WarGames Match at Survivor Series. Former WWE Women’s Champion Bayley will replace Cargill, joining Rhea Ripley’s team to face Liv Morgan’s team. “I’m excited to be back in the ring and ready to fight alongside Rhea’s team,” Bayley commented.

KO potentially just cut the promo of the year.

I don’t care what anyone says, KO is 100% right.

I don’t know how you don’t make KO the brand new WWE Champion after this.

I just don’t.#SmackDown pic.twitter.com/B9xXHv8Xx2
