The Unholy Union became WWE Women's Tag Team Champions in front of a hometown crowd in mid-June at Clash at the Castle: Scotland, where they dethroned Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair. Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark were also in the Triple Threat Match. Since then, Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn have retained in three televised matches against the following - Lash Legend & Jakara Jackson at Great American Bash on July 30; Cargill & Belair by DQ on the August 2 edition of SmackDown; Baszler & Stark and Damage CTRL's Kairi Sane and IYO SKY on Monday's RAW in a threeway affair.
