Could Candice LeRae be a potential team member for Team Bianca for the Women’s Survivor Series War Games match? Speculation has it that Candice might compete as the surprise entrant. She feuded with Damage Control back in October. So logically, Candice can join Belair’s team! LeRae & Belair teamed to challenge WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions IYO SKy & Dakota Kai. However, according to Dave Meltzer, it’s rumored she’s injured & the possibility of her competing looks doubtful based on rumored reports.
Meltzer said, “I guess Candice LeRae must be hurt because she was earmarked for that group, you know, a couple of weeks ago, and they did an injury angle, “ he claimed.
We’ve not seen Candice since Oct. 17th’s Raw episode. Like anything, nothing is a fact about LeRae’s availability may be that she was perfectly healthy.
Other likely rumored names include; Carmella, Becky Lynch & even Sasha Banks.

5. Is Jonah ( Aka Bronson Reed) returning to WWE?
A former WWE NXT wrestler making his WWE return? Jonah was formerly known as Bronson Reed for the black & gold brand.
Many think the company has already offered him a contract & his return is imminent.
Fightful Select reported that Jonah was someone who WWE discussed bringing back. Their feelings conclude these wrestlers have only added value by wrestling elsewhere.
Several within the company fully expected Chief Content Officer Triple H to resign Jonah since he believed in Jonah’s talent dating back to NXT. Former Chairman Vince McMahon didn’t feel the same & felt Jonah lacked that “ IT” factor. As a result, they released him.
Nothing is confirmed yet on whether Jonah did sign with WWE. If this means he’ll be on the main roster or back in NXT. Will Jonah remain in New Japan Pro Wrestling? Does the big man show up on Raw, SmackDown, or NXT?
