It’s good to see the former Divas Champion back onboard who’s always thinking something for the women’s division. She came up with the idea of launching a new tag team on Smackdown Live, next week. We should note on this context that the Superstar Shakeup will be back on Raw and Smackdown programming on the next episodes. So she would be able to debut a new team using this opportunity that is currently a mystery.
The announcement came in a segment where the IIconics were competing in a title match. These two won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions defeating Boss N’ Hug Connection of Sasha Banks and Bayley in a fatal-4-way match. They promised to be the strongest ever and called out a team to defend their titles right there, on Smackdown. It turned out to be a rookie team named the Brooklyn Belles.
The match did not long last as Billie Kay and Peyton Royce double-teamed on them from the get-go. A kick to the face on one of the opponents earned the win for the champions. Paige was watching the match whole time from backstage making her return on WWE TV since last December. She then gave an interview to Kyla Braxton confirming that better competitions will be waiting for the IIconics, next week. She plans to bring in a new tag team on Smackdown during Superstar Shakeup.
At present, the team name is still a mystery and we will not get to know about it until next week. But the speculations suggest it will be a team from the NXT roster i.e. NXT Tag Team of Io Shirai and Kairi Sane. Paige will become the manager of this team, going by the rumors. However, we never know whether she brings back teams like The Bella Twins from the past in the women’s tag team picture.
