This week’s episode of WWE SmackDown saw the Women’s tag team titles change hands. Following a promising run, Natalya and Tamina finally earned a shot at Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler’s gold. The SmackDown duo then faced the former champions in an entertaining match and walked out of the show with the tag team championships.

Natalya and Tamina relied on their newfound aggression, and they were determined to give their best inside the ring. Both teams engaged in a good back and forth in a fast-paced encounter on SmackDown. In the match's final moments, Nia Jax delivered a Samoan Drop on Natalya, who wasn’t the legal competitor. Before Jax could get back on her feet, Tamina delivered a Superfly Splash off the top rope and pinned her to win the tag team titles for her team.

Both Natalya and Tamina deserved this win, especially after their recent booking on SmackDown. They might have a rematch with Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler after WrestleMania Backlash. Moreover, losing the titles might eventually lead to a split between Jax and Baszler on WWE RAW. The Queen of Spades can use a brief singles run on the Red brand before entering the women’s title picture again.
