WWE has a big return planned for tonight’s SmackDown, and it could change the women’s WarGames match at Survivor Series. Stephanie Vaquer is expected back on television tonight, with plans calling for her to join the babyface team for the November 28 event.
According to the early run sheet for WWE SmackDown on November 13, 2026, Vaquer is scheduled to return during an angle involving the women’s WarGames match. The challenge is planned to happen after Charlotte Flair faces Jacy Jayne, with Vaquer joining the babyface side.
This would mark Vaquer’s first WWE television appearance since being pulled from the October 26 episode of RAW. She was originally scheduled to face Becky Lynch in a number one contender’s match, but WWE scrapped the bout after she wasn’t medically cleared.
As Ringside News previously covered, Vaquer’s absence was caused by an illness rather than another injury. WWE had no clear timetable for her return at the time, leaving her future on television uncertain. There has been some good news since then. Vaquer returned to the ring at a WWE live event in Portland, Oregon, on November 5, but she has yet to make her return to television.
Now WWE apparently has something much bigger planned for her. The company has been building toward the women’s WarGames match, with Charlotte Flair, Bayley, Alexa Bliss and Tatum Paxley involved in the issues surrounding Jade Cargill and Fatal Influence. Ringside News previously covered the possible teams, although the official lineup has not been finalized.
Survivor Series: WarGames takes place November 28 at Daikin Park in Houston, Texas. Adding Vaquer to the babyface team would give WWE another major name for the match, especially after her recent absence.
