Since winning the Women's Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania 12 weeks ago, the IIconics hadn't defended them once. That changed this week on Raw when they successfully retained against Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross.

This was the champs first win since WrestleMania against any opponents.

Admittedly their match this week was a backdrop for Alexa's feud with Bayley but having the titles actually defended is still a step forward from where we were.

Even more encouraging was the return of the Kabuki Warriors on SmackDown, with Asuka and Sane jumping right back into the title storyline they were seemingly building a month ago. A match was set up in Tokyo in which a victory can earn the pair a title bout. This seems likely in front of the Japanese fans, especially with Asuka and Sane undefeated since forming a team.

Hopefully, this can lead to a competitive title program which will help rebuild the credibility of the championships.
