#5: Carmella & Dana Brooke got an impromptu title shot after Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross took down The Kabuki Warriors
In a WrestleMania 36 rematch, Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross defended their Women's Tag Team Titles against The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka, Kairi Sane).
Asuka & Kairi Sane were the champions heading into The Showcase of Immortals, and their opponents earned a WrestleMania moment by winning the titles at the same event.
Alexa & Nikki were put to the test right away at the beginning of this week's SmackDown. The bout itself was good, but we all knew that the stakes weren't the same as their previous encounter. It was unlikely that Bliss & Cross were going to lose the Women's Tag Team Titles so soon.
After the match itself, the Champions encountered Carmella & Dana Brooke backstage. Bliss wasn't too sure about handing away title opportunities right away, but Nikki's excitement granted the challengers an impromptu title shot in the future.
Bliss & Cross are at the top of the mountain as far as the Women's Tag Team Division is concerned. The fact that two singles competitors got an impromptu title shot shows how WWE needs to build up formidable women's tag teams right away.
