WWE is just hours away from presenting the final RAW episode before Survivor Series: WarGames. The red brand is gearing up for a night of high-stakes in-ring action and the final build to Saturday's PLE. The WWE Universe is reacting to one key match with jabs at creative and the brand split.
The Women's WarGames match is set to feature main roster superstars for the third straight year at the 38th annual Survivor Series. Nia Jax will lead Tiffany Stratton, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, and Candice LeRae into battle against Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley, IYO SKY, Naomi, and the injured Jade Cargill inside the double-cage structure. The WarGames advantage will be determined on tonight's RAW.
The Irresistible Force will face The EST on tonight's loaded live RAW to determine which team enters WarGames with the advantage. Jax's Women's Championship will not be on the line against one-half of the Women's Tag Team Champions. The match between the two SmackDown Superstars is being knocked by fans on social media, with many taking the opportunity to throw yet another jab at the brand split.

"This women’s war games match will be a banger but this match doesn’t make any sense at all," one fan commented.
"I don't get this s**t why is there a roster split if 2 smackdown wrestlers have a match against each other on raw (yeah I know it's for war games but they could also have a match on Friday)," wrote one fan.
The rest of the reactions are mainly predictions of some kind, with many picking Jax to win for two main reasons: Belair may be distracted by the injury announcement for Jade Cargill, and heels usually have the WarGames advantage. One common narrative is that Jax vs. Belair will end with interference.
You can see a few of those reactions below:
"Bianca winning. Nia already beat her earlier in the year and Bianca's team losing at WarGames," a fan commented.
"Definitely Nia Jax. Bianca is already distracted by Jade Cargill's injury" another fan wrote.
RAW will feature the second-ever Jax vs. Belair singles match. The first took place in late May on SmackDown, which saw Queen Jax defeat Belair in the semi-finals of the Queen of the Ring Tournament.
