This week on WWE RAW, Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross defended the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship against The IIconics. Billie Kay and Peyton Royce returned on WWE RAW last week and defeated the champions to earn the title opportunity. Cross gained the upper hand early on but The IIConics double-teamed her. Bliss tagged in and hit Kay with a knee-first moonsault.

Bliss rocked Kay with a stiff punch in the face. Twisted Bliss nearly won the match for the champions but Royce repeatedly drove Bliss into the ring post. The referee disqualified Royce and called for the bell, so Bliss and Cross retained the titles.

Backstage, Kay slapped Royce for wasting their opportunity. She immediately apologized and the partners hugged.
