The IIconics made history at the Grandest Stage of Them All where they grabbed the Women's Tag Team Titles. The duo toiled hard to reach the top of women's division as they have been a successful tag team from NXT. The two women appeared on SmackDown Live last week to celebrate the victory, but they were asked to put the twin belts on the line against two local competitors.

The IIconics did not have credible opponents last week as they won the bout easily. However, Paige announced she would bring a new team of her own on SmackDown Live this week and the fans will be eagerly waiting to see the new rivals of the IIconics.

Considering Superstar Shake-Up will take place next week, we might see the arrival of one of the best tag teams from NXT, The Sky Pirates. Io Shirai and Kairi Sane are two popular stars from the developmental brand. Sane, who is a former NXT Women's Champion, had a memorable feud with the current NXT Women's Champion Shayna Baszler.

Without a shadow of a doubt, Sane is exceptional in the ring, and she is competent enough to get main roster call-up. Io Shirai might follow Sane if the latter leaves the developmental brand this week. With the assistance of Paige, the two women could overcome the obstacle of speaking English, which could be their issue on the main roster.
