A top WWE tag team made a surprise return at a show tonight. This tag team has been absent from TV for a while.

The Unholy Union formed a tag team during their time together in NXT. Since then, they have won the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship and received a main roster call-up, in which they won the Women's Tag Team Championship.

Despite this, Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn have not been prominently used since losing the tag titles. Their last televised appearance was on the October 7 episode of WWE RAW.

Tonight, Unholy Union appeared on NXT after almost five months in a backstage segment with Fatal Influence and discussed their feud with Shotzi, Tatum Paxley, and Gigi Dolin. Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn told Fatal Influence that they see a united front when they look at Shotzi and her team, but they can't say the same for Fatal Influence.

They were hinting at the ongoing tension between Fallon Henley and Jacy Jayne. This was Unholy Union's first appearance on the black-and-silver brand since July 30, 2024.

It will be interesting to see if Unholy Union will make more appearances in NXT in the future.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
