Call your friends! We had an unprecedented scene at SummerSlam during the kickoff show.

The WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship was defended Sunday!

It might seem silly, but Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross successfully defended their newly won titles six nights after winning them, against the team who last held them, the IIconics. The match itself was garbage, with Billie Kay & Peyton Royce still looking lost in the ring, but the story here is that Bliss & Cross actually put the titles on the line on television.

By comparison, the IIconics went a solid 10 weeks before they defended the titles on TV. That’s just insane.

So we’ll take this one as a positive, regardless of match quality.
