It's been clear for a while now that the plan for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 36 is for The Kabuki Warriors to face Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross. They were the team that the Japanese duo won the titles from and they've held onto it since, even main eventing the final PPV of the decade.

Asuka appeared last week on SmackDown and danced on the stage while causing a distraction, with Sasha Banks submitting Nikki Cross with the Bank Statement in their singles match.

This week, the former Champions were interviewed backstage and Alexa Bliss invited Asuka to return to SmackDown next week to face her - urging her to come through the front door instead.

We expect Kairi Sane to be with her and for Bliss to beat Asuka, setting up a women's tag team title shot. Whether Natalya and Beth Phoenix will be involved, we can't be sure. After the Hall of Famer's involvement with Randy Orton, it appears as though she may not be in the title picture this year.
