Survivor Series WarGames plans for AJ Lee & injury update on Chad Gable amid WWE hiatus

AJ Lee made her return during the recent episode of Raw.

For the first time since Wrestlepalooza, AJ Lee made her return during the November 17 episode of Monday Night Raw at Madison Square Garden, during the Women’s Intercontinental title match between Becky Lynch and Maxxine Dupri.

The return distracted Lynch, helping Dupri to deliver a high-flying moonsault from the top rope to pin Lynch and capture the Women’s Intercontinental title. Lee congratulated Dupri on her return, downplaying her role and making it clear she had no love for bullies and always rooted for the underdog.

During the backstage segment, Lee was approached by Rhea Ripley, who asked for a moment to chat. Following the show, a new report from Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Radio has revealed Survivor Series plans for the former Divas Champion.

Per Alvarez, Lee is currently penciled in to join Rhea Ripley’s team for the women’s WarGames match. The team currently consists of Rhea Ripley, Iyo Sky, and Alexa Bliss. Charlotte Flair was part of the team but walked out due to her differences with Ripley.

Alvarez noted that the former WWE Divas Champion is expected to join Ripley’s team, though it hasn’t been officially confirmed yet.

Chad Gable has been out of action since June

The leader of American Made, Chad Gable, has been absent from WWE programming since June. He suffered a shoulder injury and was written off Television after a backstage attack by Penta. The injury was later revealed to have been a torn rotator cuff.

Amid his absence, a new report from PWInsider’s Mike Johnson, Gable is expected to be at WWE’s Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, this week as he starts preparations for an in-ring return. As mentioned, he has been out of action since having major shoulder surgery in July.

Gable was portraying the masked El Grande Americano character before his injury. The character has since been taken over by Ludwig Kaiser. There is no clarity or reports on the plans for Gable once he returns from injury.
