The Irresistible Forces win Women’s Tag Team titles on WWE SmackDown
New Women’s Tag Team Champions have been crowned.
Nia Jax and Lash Legend, the Irresistible Forces, defeated Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY to win the titles for the first time as a team. The finish had Ripley tag in and lay out Jax with the riptide. Legend came in from behind and planted Ripley with the Lash extension, pinning her to win the titles for her team.
Later backstage the two were celebrating, with Jax noting she was now a three-time Tag Team Champion and that Legend had won her first title in WWE. They announced that they would hold a celebration on next week’s SmackDown.
The two have been teaming up since last fall, when Lash was called up to the main roster. In recent weeks, they have been going under the name The Irresistible Forces, a play off of Jax’s nickname. The two teams previously met on the February 13 edition of SmackDown, ending in a no contest when all four women started to brawl on the outside.
Ripley & SKY had been champions for 54 days, defeating The Kabuki Warriors on the January 5 edition of Raw.
