Bayley & Sasha Banks’ first title defense as new Women’s Tag Team Champions will take place at Backlash.
WWE announced today that Bayley & Banks will defend their Women’s Tag Team titles against Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross and The IIconics in a triple threat match at the pay-per-view. It’s taking place on Sunday (June 14).
The announcement comes in advance of Bayley & Banks appearing on tonight’s episode of Raw. In the main event of SmackDown this past Friday, they won the titles from Bliss & Cross.
This is Bayley & Banks’ second reign with the Women’s Tag Team titles. They were the inaugural champions after the titles were introduced in 2019 but lost them to The IIconics at WrestleMania 35.
Bayley is also the current SmackDown Women’s Champion.
Bliss & Cross have been feuding with The IIconics since prior to losing the Women’s Tag Team titles to Bayley & Banks.
