Four stars who can replace Charlotte Flair on Rhea Ripley's team for WarGames at Survivor Series 2025

The Queen walked out on Ripley & Co. during SmackDown.

As the final PLE of 2025, Survivor Series approaches the teams for the two marquee men’s and women’s WarGames have started to take shape.

The men’s side, the WarGames match will feature CM Punk, The Usos (Jey & Jimmy Uso), and Cody Rhodes. They will face the team of Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, and Drew McIntyre. Both teams are one member short, ahead of the PLE.

On the women’s side, the WarGames match will feature Alexa Bliss, Charlotte Flair, Iyo Sky, and Rhea Ripley. They will face the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane), along with Nia Jax and Lash Legend. They, too, are looking to add one new member; however, for Team Ripley, they have run into a massive roadblock.

During the November 14 episode of SmackDown, Ripley and Iyo kicked off the show with a warning to the opposing team and were joined by Bliss and Flair shortly. However, Flair then dropped a bombshell, saying she couldn’t go through with it. She admitted that she couldn’t pretend anymore and confessed that she didn’t like or trust Rhea Ripley.

Despite Bliss’ attempt, Flair walked out on them, leaving the team vulnerable. Ripley and Co., AJ Lee is rumored to join the fray, with Becky Lynch joining the opposing team. Ripley & Co. is still a member short after Flair’s exit. Let us now take a look at four stars who can replace Flair for the WarGames match.

4. Tiffany Stratton

The former WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton was on a tear, defeating every opponent in her way, until she ran into Stephanie Vaquer at Crown Jewel. Stratton faced another massive setback during the November 1 edition of SNME, when Cargill pinned her to capture the title.

This could be an amazing opportunity for the former champion to regain her footing. Stratton also has a long history with Nia Jax, and joining the opposing team would add another compelling layer to their rivalry.

3. Bayley

One of the most disappointing creative directions for a legend has been Bayley. Despite her recent character change, she’s been left out of major PLEs and isn’t receiving the significant push many fans expected. She is currently in a storyline with Lyra Valkyria and is expected to turn heel.

Bayley could team up with her former friend and longtime adversaries to take on Nia Jax and the Kabuki Warriors. Having already suffered a loss in her last match with Valkyria against the Kabuki Warriors, this could be her chance to get some payback.

2. Lyra Valkyria

Former Women’s Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria is also having a standout year, with multiple amazing matches. Lyra has become a staple on the Red brand and has emerged as a babyface that WWE can count on to deliver when required.

Valkyria teaming up with big names such as Rhea Ripley, Iyo Sky, and Alexa Bliss would only elevate her stardom and push her into the main event scene.

1. Stephanie Vaquer

WWE Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer’s push is a result of her strong fan support and her impressive in-ring abilities. Vaquer’s inclusion in the Women’s WarGames match will only heighten the excitement surrounding the bout.

Vaquer is a strong babyface and can replace Flair. Just imagine the team featuring Rhea Ripley, Iyo Sky, Alexa Bliss, Stephanie Vaquer, and AJ Lee (if WWE still has that plan in place). Such a lineup would create a star-studded side with a mix of experience, charisma, and in-ring skill, instantly raising the stakes.
