New Women’s Tag Team Champions crowned on WWE Raw
New Women’s Tag Team Champions were crowned on Raw.
IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley defeated The Kabuki Warriors (IYO SKY & Kairi Sane) in the opening match of Monday’s show to become the new Women’s Tag Team Champions. The finish had Ripley hitting the riptide and IYO hitting the over the moonsault on Asuka, with Ripley covering for the win. With the win, IYO has won her third WWE Women’s Tag Team title while Ripley has earned her second.
The two teams have been feuding for the last several months after the Kabuki Warriors turned against IYO, their former friend. They first squared off at Crown Jewel back in November, with SKY & Ripley scoring the win. Despite this, the Kabuki Warriors continued to target the duo, including Asuka misting both women at one point.
In the weeks leading up to tonight’s title match, other teams signaled that they wanted a shot at the titles as well, including Lash Legend & Nia Jax and former champions Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss. All four teams squared off in an eight-person tag team match on SmackDown, with Ripley, SKY, Bliss, and Flair scoring the win.
