Last week's episode of WWE SmackDown saw Charlotte Flair reveal that she does not trust Rhea Ripley and thus does not want to be a part of the latter's WarGames team.

Despite initially opting out, Flair came to the aid of her tag team partner, Alexa Bliss, who, alongside Mami and IYO SKY, was getting beaten down by Lash Legend, Nia Jax, and The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka & Kairi Sane), this week on RAW. While the status of The Queen for WarGames is still undefined, Triple H may have subtly revealed that a fan favorite superstar will join the babyface team in San Diego.

AJ Lee made her return to the squared circle this week and cost Becky Lynch her Women's Intercontinental Championship, enabling Maxxine Dupri to win a title for the first time in her WWE career.

Later in the show, during a backstage interview with Jackie Redmond, Rhea Ripley approached AJ Lee and asked if they could talk. Lee agreed, and they walked out together. Given this incident, fans now believe that The Game might be hinting at the former Divas Champion becoming the next member of Ripley's team for the Women's WarGames match.

Becky Lynch could join Asuka's team for WarGames

If the above speculation is confirmed, it could lead to Becky Lynch completing the heel team for the upcoming annual event. Considering that AJ Lee cost Lynch her Women's Intercontinental Championship, The Man is likely to seek retribution against the 38-year-old. Hence, intensifying the rivalry between the duo on WWE RAW.

AJ Lee previously made her return to the Stamford-based promotion a few months ago, and joined her husband, CM Punk, in his feud with Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch. This culminated in the Mixed Tag Team Match at Wrestlepalooza, where Lee managed to get the Irish star to tap out to secure the victory for her and Punk.

Given that AJ Lee's program with the now-former Women's Intercontinental Champion has excited fans, the creative team might build further on the storyline. Considering that the company has already pulled the trigger on this move by booking Lee to return and costing Lynch her title, the bitter rivals might eventually decide to run it back in San Diego.

In a massive twist, Becky Lynch may decide to join forces with the heels team after Rhea Ripley potentially convinces AJ Lee to join her squad for the Women's WarGames Match at Survivor Series.

It could be AJ Lee vs. Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 42

Given that Becky Lynch has yet to go one-on-one against AJ Lee in the squared circle, the creative team might decide to delay their showdown until WrestleMania 42, after they potentially clash against each other at WarGames later this month.

Since the WWE Universe is eager to see the veterans share a ring in a singles match, it could set the stage for a stellar culmination at The Show of Shows next year. To spice things up, the company might decide to make the potential showdown a title bout.

The creative team might book The Man to regain the Women's Intercontinental Championship and then defend it against AJ Lee on The Grandest Stage of Them All. That said, this angle is speculative and only time will tell how the promotion books the two veterans going forward.
