Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky claimed the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship by defeating the Kabuki Warriors on “WWE Raw.” The reigning champions, Asuka and Kairi Sane, were making their first title defense since capturing the belts for the third time back in November, following a victory over Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss. The match highlighted ongoing tensions, especially after Asuka and Sky’s fallout in September disrupted their faction’s unity. Throughout the match, the Kabuki Warriors tried to dominate by isolating opponents and bending the rules, but Sky’s quick tagging and swift moves turned the tide. Despite Asuka’s interference to block Ripley’s moonsault attempt, Ripley and Sky teamed up for a decisive Bullet Train combo and an over-the-moonsault, with Sky finishing Sane with a Tope Suicida to secure the win. This victory marks Ripley’s second championship of the year alongside Nikki Ash, while Sky captures the title for the third time, having previously partnered with Dakota Kai.
Fan Take: This title change is significant for WWE fans as it injects fresh energy into the women’s tag team division, highlighting strong teamwork and rivalry dynamics. It also opens new storytelling opportunities and rivalries that could elevate women’s wrestling to even greater prominence in the WWE.
