Hell has frozen over.

The Women's Tag-Team Title scene actually got an 'Up' this week, which was unexpected. Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez vs. Bayley and Dakota Kai served multiple masters though, and it was a very solid match from bell-to-bell. It's hard to argue with one segment that sets up so much.

Damage CTRL are heading for a split, and WWE is busy lining something else up for Liv/Raquel; SmackDown newcomers Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn watched on as they defended their belts, so it seems a Women's Tag Title vs. Women's Tag Title scenario is incoming. There are certainly worse ideas.

That'd be something totally fresh for both sets of straps, and gives the Fyre/Dawn combo something meaningful to do immediately. Hey, maybe WWE plans to combine both sets of championships into Undisputed Titles? That's in vogue, after all.
