WWE’s women’s division has received a major boost following the surprise return of Stephanie Vaquer on Friday Night SmackDown. The former Women’s World Champion made a dramatic comeback on November 13, joining forces with Charlotte Flair, Bayley, Alexa Bliss and Tatum Paxley as tensions escalated ahead of Survivor Series: WarGames 2026.

Vaquer’s return came during Charlotte Flair’s non-title match against Jacy Jayne. What initially appeared to be a regular contest quickly turned into an explosive confrontation as members of Fatal Influence and other rival groups entered the scene.

Alexa Bliss and Tatum Paxley became involved in the ringside action before Bayley arrived to support the babyface side. However, the situation became increasingly difficult when Jade Cargill, Michin and B-Fab joined the confrontation.

Just when Charlotte Flair’s team needed additional support, Stephanie Vaquer made her unexpected appearance. Her arrival shifted the momentum of the brawl and helped the babyfaces fight back against their rivals.

The distraction also created an opportunity for Flair to secure victory over Jacy Jayne with her signature Natural Selection.

Charlotte Flair’s Team Issues a WarGames Challenge

Following the confrontation, Charlotte Flair gathered her allies inside the ring. Alongside Vaquer, Bayley, Alexa Bliss and Tatum Paxley, she delivered a clear message to their opponents: WarGames.

WWE has officially confirmed the Women's WarGames match for Survivor Series, scheduled for November 28, 2026, at Daikin Park in Houston, Texas.

The confirmed lineup features Charlotte Flair, Stephanie Vaquer, Alexa Bliss, Tatum Paxley and Bayley against Fatal Influence, Jade Cargill and Michin.

Why Stephanie Vaquer’s Return Matters

Vaquer's comeback adds considerable strength to Charlotte Flair's side. Known for her aggressive in-ring style, technical ability and international wrestling experience, she brings another competitive dimension to the team.

Her return is particularly significant because she had recently been sidelined by an undisclosed illness. She had also missed a previously announced match against Becky Lynch after not receiving medical clearance.

Charlotte Flair, meanwhile, has been involved in an increasingly heated rivalry with Jade Cargill and the other members of the opposing group. The addition of Vaquer gives the storyline a fresh direction and creates another major attraction for WWE audiences.

Survivor Series Could Deliver a Major Women's Division Showdown

WarGames matches are known for their steel-cage environment, two-ring setup and unpredictable action. With multiple rivalries converging into one contest, the November 28 showdown could become one of the biggest attractions of this year's Survivor Series.

The return of Stephanie Vaquer has already generated fresh excitement among wrestling fans. Now, the biggest question is whether Charlotte Flair's team can turn its renewed strength into victory when both sides enter the WarGames structure.

One thing is clear: WWE's women's division is heading towards a high-stakes confrontation, and Vaquer's return has made the road to Survivor Series considerably more interesting.
