Last night's episode of Friday Night SmackDown, which was the go-home episode of this coming Sunday's WWE WrestleMania Backlash Event, saw the team of Natalya and Tamina defeat Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler in the opening match to become the new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.
This is the first time for Natalya and Tamina to become the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions and Tamina Snukaโs first-ever major title win in the promotion, not including the 24/7 Championship. Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler became the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions during the Royal Rumble Kickoff Show back on January 31st by defeating Asuka and Charlotte Flair.
