Story summary
On Friday Night SmackDown, WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid unexpectedly faced Tatum Paxley and Alexa Bliss after an attack on Charlotte Flair left her unable to compete. During the match, Henley and Reid attempted to use illegal tactics when Henley pinned Paxley but used the ropes for leverage. The referee caught them cheating and stopped counting. Seizing the moment, Bliss attacked Reid outside the ring with a Sister Abigail move. Meanwhile, Paxley took advantage of Henley's distraction by hitting her with a Cemetery Drive pinfall, winning the titles for herself and Bliss. Paxley previously competed in NXT where she held multiple championships including the NXT Women’s Championship, the NXT Women’s North American Championship, and the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championship before joining SmackDown recently in August.
