Heading into this week’s Raw, spoilers were out courtesy of BWE about a championship match set for WWE Fastlane 2023. It eventually became true as WWE announced the next Undisputed WWE Tag Team Title Match to the upcoming event card with two interesting challengers gunning for the belts.

As seen on this week’s episode of Raw, a series of confrontations went down between Cody Rhodes, “Main Event” Jey Uso, Kevin Owens, and Sami Zayn vs. members of The Judgment Day – Rhea Ripley, Dominik and the tag champs Damian Priest and Finn Balor.

WWE Official Adam Pearce made his way to the ramp to announce that the time of talk was over and that it was time to settle things once and for all. He announced that the temporary tag team of Rhodes and Uso will challenge Damian Priest and Finn Balor for the WWE Undisputed Tag Team Championships at WWE Fastlane 2023.

While WWE Fastlane 2023 will be a first-time tag title outing as a team for Uso and Rhodes, the two separately hold impressive stats when it comes to tag team titles. Rhodes is a six-time tag champion in his WWE career with different partners, while Uso is an eight-time tag title championship winner alongside his twin brother Jimmy. The Usos also possess the longest tag team title reign in WWE history which ended earlier this year against Zayn and Owens at WrestleMania 39.

Then Priest and Balor won the tag titles from Zayn and Owens at last month’s Payback PLE in a Street Fight. Shortly after, Rhea Ripley was gone for a few weeks from Raw, and upon return, this week she was clearly frustrated at The Judgment Day not being able to keep things together. Her anger also included Dominik losing his NXT North American Championship to Trick Williams. Now, Judgment Day has a tough task in hand to bring things back on track at WWE Fastlane 2023 by retaining their title.
