Naomi replacing Jade Cargill as WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion
Naomi has replaced Jade Cargill as WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion alongside Bianca Belair.
In a backstage segment on Friday’s WWE SmackDown, GM Nick Aldis told Belair that he was forcing her to relinquish the Women’s Tag Team titles as the investigation into who attacked Cargill in a backstage angle continues.
Naomi offered to step in for Cargill, and Aldis relented under the condition that the duo defend the Tag titles on next week’s SmackDown.
Later in the show, Belair and Naomi defending the Women’s Tag Team titles against Nia Jax and Candice LeRae was announced for next week’s SmackDown.
The Cargill injury angle took place on the November 22 SmackDown, with the star shown laying on the hood of a car.
The most recent Women’s Tag Team title defense came on the November 11 edition of WWE Raw, with Belair and Cargill retaining over Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez in that contest.
