WWE officially added Natalya as the fifth member of Team SmackDown on Survivor Series. She replaces Charlotte Flair, who took Natalya’s spot in the champion vs. champion match against Alexa Bliss after she defeated Natalya for the SmackDown Women’s Championship this past Tuesday on SmackDown.
WWE teased that they would reveal the fifth member on the day of the show, which lead to some speculation that it could end up being a surprise like Paige, but that’s not the case.
The match will now be:
Team Raw (Alicia Fox, Asuka, Bayley, Nia Jax, Sasha Banks) vs. Team SmackDown (Becky Lynch, Carmella, Naomi, Natalya, Tamina)
Individual competition drives every #SDLive Superstar. Even in defeat, @NatbyNature proved herself to be a fierce competitor and will be an asset to Team Smackdown’s 5 on 5 #SurvivorSeries Team. Let’s go to work, Nattie.
