Giulia & Kiana James named top contenders to WWE Women’s Tag titles

Rhea Ripley & Iyo Sky, the reigning WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, have new challengers following a number one contender’s match on SmackDown. 

Kiana James & Giulia won a triple threat match on Friday night in Montreal, defeating the teams of Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss and Nia Jax & Lash Legend. 

The finish came after Legend hoisted Bliss into crucifix position, then swung her around and dropped her onto her face. Before she could make a cover, however, Flair knocked her out of position with a spear. James quickly hit the ring and splashed Bliss to pin her. 

James & Giulia had just lost to Bliss & Flair on last week’s SmackDown. They did get a win over Alba Fyre & Chelsea Green in their last televised match as a team back in December. 

The WWE has not announced when James & Giulia will get their title shot, but it won’t be this weekend—Ripley & Sky are scheduled to defend against Liv Morgan & Roxanne Perez tomorrow night on Saturday Night’s Main Event.
