Former WWE champion to return after 187 days to replace Jade Cargill at Survivor Series? Exploring potential swerve

Jade Cargill was attacked last night on WWE SmackDown, and it was noted that her attacker wasn't Nia Jax. The current WWE Women's Tag Team Champion was replaced in the Women's United States Championship Tournament, and it seems that she could be replaced in WarGames.

If Adam Pearce doesn't announce a replacement for Cargill on RAW, then it's likely that this surprise will happen on the night and former WWE champion Becky Lynch could be added to the WarGames team, something that would allow her to finally get revenge on Liv Morgan.

Lynch recently noted that she wasn't retiring from the business after that title match with Morgan on RAW back in May, but while recent rumors have her returning in 2025, WWE could pull off a massive shock next weekend in Canada.

Will Becky Lynch return at WWE Survivor Series next weekend?

Becky Lynch could return at Royal Rumble 2025 and be one of many faces who are talked about on that night, including the likes of Alexa Bliss, Carmella, Asuka, and even Charlotte Flair.

Lynch is a household name and has been talked about for weeks, so her return is expected to be much bigger than any of the current women who are on the sidelines. The only way she could achieve that in the Royal Rumble is if she wins, but if she returns after 187 days at Survivor Series, then she could make an impact and settle her issues with Liv Morgan at the same time.

Cargill will be replaced as part of the show, it just remains to be seen who will replace her. Someone like Becky Lynch would get a much bigger pop, but it depends on who fits in with WWE's current creative plans ahead of the show and if they feel Becky Lynch would work in a team with Rhea Ripley.
