They opened the pay per view tonight against Shotzi Blackheart and Ember Moon. Both teams fought an exciting match but, in the end, it was the heel team that took the honors and with it, the opportunity to face Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler for the Women’s Tag Team Championships.

Jax and Baszler, who are currently on their second reign, already have opponents assigned to them though. Lana and Naomi recently won a number one contenders match to earn a title shot although at this point it isn’t clear when.

it will be interesting to see who faces Jax and Baszler first or could they settle this out at Wrestlemania?

Upon its launch, the WWE claimed that all three brands would be in contention for the Women’s tag team Championship. So far however, the title has only exchanged hands between RAW and SmackDown. No side from NXT has even got a sniff of the belt and Kai and Gonzalez have more than a fighting chance to create history once again.
