WWE crowns new Women’s Tag Team Champions on SmackDown: Alexa Bliss and Tatum Paxley defeat Fatal Influence (Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid) to capture the titles. The match follows disruption backstage that changes who Flair can partner with at the last minute.
Across outlets, the key context is Charlotte Flair’s backstage attack, which leaves her unable to compete and forces a late replacement partner for the championship match. One report notes Jade Cargill’s attack as the factor ruling Flair out, while another focuses on the operational impact: the title match goes ahead with Bliss teaming with Paxley instead of Flair’s original plans. Paxley seals the win with her finishing move, “Cemetery Drive,” as Triple H and others react to the title change.
Several sources also place the event in timing context, describing it as taking place the night before WWE’s major Premium Live Event, Money in the Bank 2026.
