This occurred in the main event of the latest episode of the blue brand, where Rhea Ripley revealed Lee as their final partner. However, they were soon destroyed by Team Asuka, along with Becky Lynch. The show ended with the villainous team standing tall.

In this article, we will discuss three reasons why The Man joined Team Asuka for the upcoming double cage match.

#3. She joined because of AJ Lee

AJ Lee made her return on RAW this week, and shortly after costing Becky Lynch the Women's IC Title, she appeared in a backstage segment with Rhea Ripley. Here, hints were already dropped that Lee was aligning with the babyface group.

As a result, The Man was already aware that Rhea and Lee were in cahoots, and to seek vengeance for the former Divas Champion's actions, Becky decided to join the evil group. At Survivor Series: WarGames, she has the chance to destroy Lee and get revenge for what she did on RAW.

#2. Becky Lynch is a big name to miss WWE WarGames

The Men's WarGames match is already star-studded, especially after Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar joined Team CM Punk and Team Vision, respectively. To add more star power to the women's double-structured match, WWE preferred to add Lynch into the mix by letting her join hands with Team Asuka.

The Man is already a major name in the women's division, and it doesn't make sense for the company not to utilize her for their upcoming PLE. This is another potential reason she joined the evil association for WarGames.

#1. The enemy of my enemy is my friend

Team Asuka also includes Nia Jax as a prominent member. However, The Irresistible Force has a heated history with The Man. Once, Jax and Lynch were involved in an incident where Jax punched and broke the Irish star's nose.

Despite this heated history, the only reason Becky joined Team Asuka for WWE WarGames is due to the theory that the enemy of her enemy is her friend. After Lee joined forces with Team Rhea Ripley, she automatically became an enemy of the entire Team Asuka.

So Becky seemingly wants to take advantage of the situation and intends to beat down the former WWE Divas Champion.
