Carmella and Queen Zelina are the new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, having defeated Rhea Ripley and Nikki A.S.H. on last night's episode of Raw.

A short match played out in under five minutes, with the story being that A.S.H. is the clear weak link in her alliance with Ripley. Zelina and Carmella said as much during their pre-match promo and the theme continued in the match, with Rhea put into the ring post to nullify her for the finish, leaving A.S.H. helpless to fall to Zelina's Code Red for the fall.

Whether or not this will lead to Ripley and A.S.H.'s odd couple act splitting up remains unknown, as the duo weren't given a reaction segment.

The Ripley/A.S.H. Women's Tag Team Title run lasted 63 days in total. Taking the belts from Natalya and Tamina on Raw's 20 September episode, they mounted one successful defence as Champions (also against Natalya and Tamina). Last night was their first defence since 4 October.

Zelina, meanwhile, just notched her first piece of championship gold on WWE. It has been a relatively successful few months for her following her Queen's Crown tournament victory in October.
