Overview
- Stephanie Vaquer returned to WWE television on Friday, Nov. 13, appearing during Charlotte Flair’s SmackDown match and creating a ringside distraction that helped Flair win.
- After the segment, Vaquer stood with Flair, Alexa Bliss, Tatum Paxley and Bayley to formally challenge Jade Cargill, Fatal Influence, B-FAB and Michin for the women’s WarGames at Survivor Series on Nov. 28 in Houston.
- Vaquer had not been on WWE TV since Money in the Bank and was reportedly not medically cleared for a planned Oct. 26 Raw match with Becky Lynch, and several reports say she made an in-ring return at a non-televised house show before the SmackDown appearance.
- Writers and outlets called the last-minute addition abrupt, noting WarGames normally requires balanced teams and saying Vaquer’s lack of prior on‑screen conflict with the opposing group raises creative questions.
- The update changes the Survivor Series card — which now lists two WarGames matches — and could force WWE to alter team composition or match format in the coming weeks ahead of the Nov. 28 event.
