Women’s Teams Set for Women’s WarGames Match at Survivor Series: WarGames 2026

WWE’s SmackDown show also featured one new potential match for the card of Survivor Series: WarGames 2026, which takes place on November 28 at the Daikin Park in Houston, Texas.

This new potential match is a Women’s WarGames match of Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, Tatum Paxley, Bayley, & Stephanie Vaquer vs. Jade Cargill, Michin, B-Fab, & Fatal Influence (Lainey Reid, Fallon Henley, & Jacy Jayne).

This new potential match was initially setup over recent weeks shows over the bad blood issues between both groups. During tonight’s show, Fatal Influence’s Reid and Henley interfered during Jayne and Flair. This led to Bliss and Paxley coming out and a mass brawl breaking out with Cargill, B-Fab, Michin, and Bayley also coming out and joining in. This led to Vaquer’s music playing and her coming out to help even the odds for Flair’s side during the ringside brawl.

LA PRIMERA 😈 @Steph_Vaquer is HERE! https://t.co/lbeYcA5nkM

OH YEAH! 👌 @MsCharlotteWWE picks up the WIN!! https://t.co/DVPFTP0u1p
