To the surprise of the WWE Universe, the fresh team of Raquel Rodriguez and Aliyah have become the new WWE Women’s Tag Team champions. On the August 29 episode of Monday Night Raw, the duo pinned the favorite team of Dakota Kai and IYO SKY to become the holders of the titles that were originally vacant since May 16. It appears there’s more to the story behind this title win.
Some fans were confused and disappointed with the fact that Sky and Kai didn’t get to win the titles despite having all the focus on them since their Summerslam return. Besides, the finish was very much confused where Kai was pinned by Aliyah with a roll-up. Kai wasn’t legal in the match and she questioned whether the pinfall count was legal on her or not.

Raquel Rodriguez and Aliyah worked hard to get the titles
Raquel Rodriguez is a former college basketball star who has been NXT Women’s Champion in the past. Besides, she is also a two-time WWE NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion who won the belt with two different partners in the past. Now, this run with the main roster tag titles will help her establish her presence in the mainstay scene as she prepares to go solo in the near future.
After the title win occurred, WWE released a video of the new champions reacting to their win. Raquel Rodriguez and Aliyah gave their comments to describe how special it was to hold their first belt on the main roster. They have worked for so long through NXT to make a name for themselves on Raw/Smackdown and that eventually led to the gold.
Raquel Rodriguez and Aliyah haven’t put their title on the line since winning the belt. WWE has now booked the duo for their first title defense during the September 12 episode of Monday Night Raw when they feature in a rematch against Dakota Kai and IYO SKY.
