The collective has spoken: Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill are not losing their WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships in Scotland. While some pundits have expressed an uncertainty of late as to whether or not WWE actually has a long term plan for these two, we’re even more certain that any plan that does exist includes a title retention this weekend.

For better or worse, Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark have evolved into tried and true also-rans, having already challenged for these titles unsuccessfully twice this year including once via disqualification after interference from Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre. That, of course, ultimately led to Scotland’s native daughters getting a spot in this match, but we don’t forecast any glorious homecoming here for The Unholy Union. Even so, having a third team involved in this match makes the champions look stronger in victory, and it’s a nice showcase for Dawn and Fyre. As for Baszler and Stark, it’s anyone’s guess where they go from here.

A team of “mega-powers” like Belair and Cargill is ever only created with its demise in mind, and we’re fairly certain that is the eventual case here — their individual star power is just too great to ignore, and a Belair vs. Cargill showdown has surely always been in the cards since the latter signed with WWE in September 2023. Between now and then, however, it would be wonderful to see their title reign do all it can to elevate another team when they eventually overtake the current champs. We just don’t think such a moment will happen at Clash at the Castle.
