WWE teases the return of absent tag team

The return of an absent tag team was teased during tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown.

Several months ago, Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn formed an unlikely union on NXT. This pair eventually became the NXT Women's Champions. They were drafted to SmackDown earlier this year as tag champs from NXT.

As soon as they were drafted to the main roster, they ran into the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Shayna Baszler and Ronda Rousey. These two teams had a match to unify the tag titles, which Baszler and Rousey eventually won.

Following this defeat, Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn have been absent from television until recently, when vignettes of them have started playing on SmackDown.

Alberto Del Rio returning to WWE?

Tonight, again on the blue brand, another vignette played where Fyre and Dawn teased a return to television. They also specifically called out Piper Niven and Chelsea Green, the current Women's Tag Team Champions.

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.
