#5: Sasha Banks & Bayley's title celebration was interrupted by Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross and The IIconics
Sasha Banks and Bayley became the new Women's Tag Team Champions on last week's episode of WWE SmackDown.
After getting laid out by The IIconics on the latest episode of WWE RAW, Bayley & Sasha were on the receiving end of a beating at the hands of Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross last night.
The IIconics appeared on the screen before Bliss & Cross got to make a statement against the Women's Tag Team Champions.
All three teams will wrestle it out for those titles at WWE Backlash.
It's been quite apparent that the Women's Tag Team Division has become more newsworthy than the Men's Tag Team Division on SmackDown, and that hit everyone's radar especially since Sasha & Bayley became the new Women's Tag Team Champions last week.
Bayley vs. Sasha seems to be the ultimate endgame here, so there's no telling when exactly both of them will be dethroned from the top of the Women's Tag Team Division, and that is why there is a reasonable chance they could lose those titles at WWE Backlash.
