WWE Raw Team members for the women’s match are Rhea Ripley, Zelina Vega, Carmella, Liv Morgan, and Bianca Belair.

While all the women are great Superstars, recently, almost all of them battled in one way or another. Therefore, it’ll be rather amazing if the women can get along during the match.

Initially, the WWE SmackDown Survivor Series team members were Shotzi, Shayna Baszler, Sasha Banks, Natalya, and Aliyah.

However, on WWE SmackDown: November 12th, 2021, Naomi interfered when Sonya Deville was announcing the team. As a result, Natalya, Shayna Baszler and Shotzi teamed up against Sasha Banks, Naomi, and Aliyah in a six-man tag team match.

Aliyah pinned Natalya for the win, but Sonya Deville didn’t appreciate Naomi’s team winning. Therefore, in a backstage segment, Deville informed Aliyah that she was no longer a part of Team SmackDown.
