AJ Lee has been conspicuously absent since her return match at "WWE WrestlePalooza". CM Punk’s real-life wife signed a contract with the Stamford-based promotion, which means she has committed to wrestling for a significant period.
However, she has yet to appear for the company since she teamed up with Punk. That match saw them defeat Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch at "Wrestlepalooza" on September 20.
According to Dave Meltzer, there were plans for Becky Lynch and AJ Lee to have a feud. This would have led to them being captains of two opposing teams at "Survivor Series: WarGames".

This would have marked Lee’s second match since her recent return after a decade-long absence. Speaking on "Wrestling Observer Radio," Meltzer discussed the potential lineup.

He said, “On the women’s side, you know AJ Lee and Becky Lynch were going to be the captains. So, they could still be added but uh, you know in the end that would have to happen next week."

Meltzer also listed other names involved in the planned match. "We know 8 of the people, which would be Lash Legend, Nia Jax, and The Kabuki Warriors. And Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss, and Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY”.
Despite this report, the "WarGames" match featuring Lee and Lynch as captains has not materialized on WWE television. AJ Lee did not appear on the November 10 episode of "Raw" from Boston to build the match.
During an in-ring segment, CM Punk even mentioned her absence. He stated that if Lee was there, she would "leave all four of them in a pool of their own piss and blood," confirming she was not present.
The other women mentioned by Meltzer have since moved into different storylines. The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) defeated Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss on the November 10 "Raw" to win the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.
The "Survivor Series: WarGames" event, scheduled for November 29, does not have this match on the card. The "Raw" brand's Women's "WarGames" match is set to feature Damage CTRL (Bayley, IYO SKY, Asuka, and Kairi Sane) against the team of Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill, Rhea Ripley, and Becky Lynch.
