Charlotte Flair Says She Won’t Be Part Of WarGames Due To History With Rhea Ripley

Charlotte Flair walked out on her ally of convenience on WWE SmackDown.

Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY opened the November 14th episode of WWE SmackDown, declaring themselves ready for WarGames. They introduced Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair as their partners for the event.

Alexa was upset at Nia Jax and Lash Legend for costing them the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles against the Kabuki Warriors (Asuka & Kairi Sane) and ready for WarGames. Charlotte, however, was not sold.

Charlotte said that she could not be part of the team due to her history with Ripley, and that they weren’t friends just because they had a common enemy. Charlotte walked off, and Bliss, IYO, and Ripley stood in the ring, wondering what just happened.
