Since SummerSlam 2026, Nikki Bella and Paige have been involved in a feud on WWE SmackDown. The Fearless One and Brie Bella turned on the former Divas Champion and disrespected her. Later, Nikki defeated the 34-year-old star in a singles bout.
On the October 16, 2026, episode of SmackDown, Paige finally defeated the Hall of Famer to even the score. Following this, Nikki Bella is set for a WWE Women’s Title match against Chelsea Green on the October 30, 2026, episode of the blue brand.
Thanks for the submission!
However, it’s crucial to note that the feud between Paige and Nikki is far from over, as a rubber match is still pending. Under Triple H‘s creative regime, WWE usually ends feuds with a trilogy when two matches have already taken place. However, their feud also raises the possibility of a WarGames match between Team Paige and Team Nikki.
In this article, we will predict the four potential members of each team, with Nikki and Paige leading their respective sides, in the double-cage-structured match.
#4. Team Nikki: Brie Bella
Brie Bella suffered a real-life injury and went on hiatus after SummerSlam. Since then, Nikki Bella has been working as a singles star. If Brie gets medically cleared and returns in time, she could help her twin in this potential WarGames match.
Moreover, Brie has been a major part of the Nikki vs. Paige storyline, as she held the Women’s Tag Team Titles alongside the babyface star before the betrayal.
#4. Team Paige: Chelsea Green
Green and Nikki are set to contest a WWE Women’s Title match, and if the veteran star dethrones her, the Hot Mess could join Team Paige and seek revenge against the Fearless One.
In addition, Green is a babyface on SmackDown, making her addition to Team Paige a reasonable possibility. This could be decent booking for the beloved star if WWE takes the title off her shoulders.
#3. & #2. Team Nikki: Fatal Influence
Fatal Influence has a history with Brie Bella and Paige from their time as Women’s Tag Team Champions. Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid lost the title to Alexa Bliss and Tatum Paxley.
To feature them at Survivor Series, WWE could incorporate Fallon and Lainey into the WarGames match, with the duo joining forces with Nikki Bella to take down the heroic team.
#3. & #2. Team Paige: Alexa Bliss and Tatum Paxley
Alexa Bliss and Paige are close and share a real-life friendship. The Goddess and Tatum are no longer Women’s Tag Team Champions, and this seems to be the only direction Triple H can take with the beloved pair.
Reports revealed that Bliss and Paxley lost the titles because WWE is taking a “hot potato” approach with the championship. This could also subtly suggest that they aren’t going to win the titles back anytime soon.
Therefore, it’s possible that both stars could become part of Team Paige in this potential WarGames showdown.
#1. Team Nikki: Blake Monroe
Blake Monroe is slowly being pushed by WWE. The SmackDown star defeated Giulia in a Street Fight on the October 23, 2026, episode of the blue brand.
Blake is expected to get involved in the Women’s US Title picture soon, but if she fails to win it, she might help Nikki Bella in a potential WWE WarGames match.
Both are heel stars, and it would allow Triple H to book Monroe in a high-profile feud.
#1. Team Paige: AJ Lee returns to WWE
AJ Lee has been absent from WWE television, but Survivor Series 2026 could witness her comeback. Paige and AJ Lee teamed up against The Bella Twins at WrestleMania 31.
Lee has been away from the squared circle for a while, and she may return to SmackDown to help Paige in this battle and eventually join her team as the final member. Fans were hoping for Lee to return when The Bella Twins turned on Paige at SummerSlam.
However, Brie Bella’s injury may have put paid to any plans for that storyline, leading to a singles feud between Nikki Bella and Paige.
