Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark are getting another shot at the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships. This time against the current champs Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill. They earned this opportunity in a Fatal Four Way on the May 20 episode of Raw.
The number one contender match also included the teams of Dakota Kai & Kairi Sane, Ivy Nile & Maxxine Dupri, and Katana Chance & Kayden Carter.
Chance and Carter showcased their athleticism that has proved why they deserve another shot at the title. At one point, Damage CTRL took control, but Nile and Dupri kept up. Dupri was met with an Insane Elbow by Sane. Sane found herself in a Kirifuda clutch in nostalgia of her battle with Baszler in NXT. In the end, Baszler and Stark double-teamed for the win, as Stark launched Dupri into a knee from Baszler.
A time for Baszler & Stark vs. Belair & Cargill has not been announced yet.
Ahead of their clash at King and Queen of the Ring, Liv Morgan and Becky Lynch exchanged words on Raw. Morgan called Lynch deusional and selfish. She also added to the annoying and outdated “what” chants that the crowd’s heads are so far shoved up Becky’s ass – that’s “what.”
Lynch criticizes Morgan for bringing the crowd into this before saying she came for a fight. Morgan heads to the ring but backs off at the last minute saying to save it for Saturday.
Morgan also had a backstage moment with Lyra Valkyria. Valkyria won her way to the finals of Queen of the Ring but was met by a punch by Morgan.
