Nothing says “WrestleMania season” like tag team champions starting to come apart at the seams. Or at least, that’s what WWE believes.

Queen Zelina and Carmella have started having internal conflict because Carmella is distracted and now has cost her partner two matches. Zelina lost to Liv Morgan Monday night after the queen got caught up with Mella’s antics outside the ring. It’s now led to friction between the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions three weeks out from Mania.

It also puts WWE’s Queen in the unenviable position of jobbing to further a feud between friends (another favorite WWE trope), presumably to put heat on Carmella – and by extension Corey Graves, who has been involved in both of Mella’s ringside gaffes.

Sorry, the only thing accomplished here is Zelina is a loser, the tag champs are losers and fracturing, and no one wins here.
