While there didn’t seem to be a bad choice for the winner of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship match at SummerSlam, the more interesting choice when it comes to storylines did win out, with the fan-favorites, Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair, taking the titles from Judgment Day’s Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez. There was a moment in the match, however, where Bliss accidentally hit Flair, and another where it looked like Flair was going to take out Bliss, but thankfully, they were able to work together in the end.

During the night one post-show, Bliss and Flair appeared in front of fans and hugged it out, with Flair even using “the F word” and telling everyone she and Bliss are indeed friends. Now that they’re fully on the same page, there are a ton of fresh women’s tag team matches for them across all three brands. They could have a fantastic feud against Chelsea Green and the Secret Hervice. There are also future matches out there with maybe B-Fab and Michin or the Kabuki Warriors. And, knowing WWE, they’ll have a thrown together tag team or two attempt to knock off Bliss and Flair.

Bliss and Flair also seem like the team who are going to take the titles down to “WWE NXT” to defend. They’ve mentioned their time in the brand together, so it makes sense. Let them defend against the likes of Izzi Dame and Tatum Paxley or Sol Ruca and Zaria or even a combination of Fatal Influence, just to give the rub to some of the girls in developmental.

And, now that they’re friends, of course, that leaves things wide open for a future turn, either by Flair, or what many of us here at WINC believe is more likely, Bliss, to align herself with the Wyatt Sicks. Bliss could turn heel on Flair gradually when she somehow gets her spooky, supernatural powers back.

Things are also interesting for Rodriguez and Perez. “Big Mami Cool” wasn’t thrilled about letting “The Prodigy” into the faction to begin with, so the dissension there is going to be very real. They’ll likely fight to get a rematch against Flair and Bliss, but it’s not likely they’ll be successful in getting those titles back, with how over the babyface team is with the fans. It’s not clear exactly where Liv Morgan is in her recovery, or if she’s able to get back on the road, but that will happen sooner rather than later, and now there’s even more fuel behind her future feud with Perez.
