WWE reveals Team NXT for Survivor Series women’s match

NXT’s women’s division team for Survivor Series is officially set.

Candice LeRae, Bianca Belair, Io Shirai, and Toni Storm will join Rhea Ripley for the Raw vs. SmackDown vs. NXT women’s elimination tag match. Ripley’s partners were revealed when she appeared on a live stream with Triple H and Cathy Kelley after NXT TakeOver: WarGames.

Charlotte Flair, Natalya, Asuka, Kairi Sane & Sarah Logan are on Team Raw. Sasha Banks, Carmella, Dana Brooke, Lacey Evans & Nikki Cross are on Team SmackDown.

Ripley was announced as the captain for Team NXT on Friday’s SmackDown. Her team defeated Team Baszler in their WarGames match at TakeOver, with Ripley and LeRae facing Shayna Baszler, Belair, Shirai & Kay Lee Ray on their own after angles where Mia Yim and Tegan Nox were taken out.

Yim was laid out by a mystery attacker before the show. That led to Dakota Kai taking her place, but Kai turned heel and attacked Nox instead of entering the match.

Ripley explained choosing Belair and Shirai by saying they stood out to her in WarGames and she wants the best on her team against Raw and SmackDown.
