As WWE hurtles towards Survivor Series next Sunday, the two brands are making their final tweaks to their teams. The men’s squads are set, with the biggest surprise being the addition of John Cena to the Smackdown roster despite his status as a brand free agent and absence from TV for two months.
(Spoilers ahead for this week, by the way, so if you didn’t realize from the headline this would spoil something, now’s the time to get out).
The women’s teams will be finalized this week, and if you were worried Survivor Series would come and go without a big surprise on the women’s side, have no fear.
According to PWInsider.com, Paige is expected to make her return to the WWE ring after a more than a year away having been flagged twice under the WWE Wellness Policy. After serving her suspensions, she underwent neck surgery, and has been rehabbing for months.
PWInsider notes they aren’t sure how Paige will be worked back in, but the expectation is she will return on Monday night at Raw, either as the fourth women in the Mickie James vs. Dana Brooke vs. Bayley match for a spot on the Survivor Series team, or replaces another woman on the team in some way.
In any case, the former Divas champion will be back on Raw and will find her way onto the Raw Survivor Series team, bolstering that roster with another top level star. Alicia Fox posted a picture late Sunday night with Paige, which would seem to offer added confirmation to the rumor.
