Since Summerslam, Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair has been in a feud against Bayley and her cohorts, Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky. On their first episode of Raw as a unit, Damage CTRL ambushed Bianca's former-rival-turned-ally Becky Lynch and put her on the shelf for the time being. Fortunately for Bianca, a couple of other babyfaces were ready to come to her aid. They were none other than Asuka and Alexa Bliss. The two of them have not only been friends to Bianca Belair, but have been working together as a tag team.

And New, WWE Women's Tag Team Champions

Alexa Bliss and Asuka

The match was extremely physical, which is to be expected in a bout featuring Iyo and Asuka. It also saw Bayley and Bianca, who were at ringside, get into a brawl that ended with Bayley sending them through a table with a Bayley-to-Belly suplex.

Both Asuka and Alexa have been WWE Women's Tag Team Champions before with different partners (Asuka with Kairi Sane as the Kabuki Warriors, Alexa with Nikki Cross as Bliss-Cross). They now join Sasha Banks and Nikki Cross in this category; Banks was the second to earn this achievement. She became the inaugural Women's Tag Team Champions with Bayley and won the title again alongside Naomi at Wrestlemania this year. Besides being tag champion with Bliss, Nikki Cross was also a champion alongside Rhea Ripley.

Competition for the women's tag team division is very limited at the moment. Besides the new champs and Damage CTRL, there are no real established tag team units on the main roster. This is making WWE fans very hopeful for a return by Naomi and Sasha Banks.
