RAW didn't announce a match for TLC until this week when three new matches were added to the pay-per-view. Besides two non-title matches, a Women's Tag Team Championship match was also announced.

Women's Tag Team Champions The Kabuki Warriors will put their twin belts on the line at TLC. The champions will defend the belts against Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair, making it a match to look out for on Sunday.

Becky Lynch, appearing on RAW for the first time since Survivor Series, faced The Kabuki Warriors in a Handicap Match this week. 'The Man' earned a victory by disqualification, but the numbers game didn't allow her to dominate, as she was eventually put through a table. The champions also assaulted Charlotte Flair in the backstage area and proceeded to then challenge Flair & Lynch to a match at TLC.

Let's analyze three reasons why The Kabuki Warriors are defending their Women's Tag Team Championships against Flair and Lynch at TLC.


#3 An opportunity for Becky Lynch to become 'Becky 2 Belts' again

Becky Lynch is already the holder of the women's most coveted prize on the Red Brand, the RAW Women's Championship. 'The Man' recently became the longest-reigning RAW Women's Champion, surpassing her arch-rival, Ronda Rousey. Holding the title since her epoch-making victory at WrestleMania 35, Lynch is expected to keep the Red Belt for quite some time.

When Lynch won the main event at the Showcase of Immortals, she won two titles, as it was a 'winner takes all' match. Besides the RAW Women's Title, Lynch also held the SmackDown Women's Title, giving her the name 'Becky 2 Belts'. However, she dropped the Blue Belt at Money in the Bank in her very first title defense.

As Lynch will get the opportunity of holding the Women's Tag Team Titles at TLC, she could become 'Becky 2 Belts' once again. Not too long ago, Seth Rollins won the RAW Tag Team Titles while remaining the Universal Champion. Therefore, Becky Lynch could attain the same feat, if she and Charlotte Flair manage to win the Women's Tag Team Titles on Sunday.

#2 There are no other notable opponents for The Kabuki Warriors on RAW

There is no denying that The Kabuki Warriors have been dominant since winning the Women's Tag Team Championships a few months ago. Defending the twin belts a couple of times, they have proved their stature as fighting champions. However, there aren't enough strong teams on RAW that pose a serious threat to Asuka and Kairi Sane.

While The IIconics are definitely a noteworthy tag team and former Women's Tag Team Champions, most of RAW's other females are currently booked as singles Superstars. Therefore, WWE needed to create a new tag team in Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair, who are two of the top names in the RAW Women's Division. Flair and Lynch are competent in posing a serious threat to the reigning Women's Tag Team Champions. To make the Women's Tag Team Division more competitive, we might see new women's tag teams added to RAW in the near future, but as it stands, Lynch and Flair are The Kabuki Warriors' most formidable Red Brand foes.

#1 Charlotte Flair was already in a feud with The Kabuki Warriors

Charlotte Flair swapped brands in the last draft and her return to RAW has not proven fruitful thus far. While she teased another feud with Becky Lynch earlier, she eventually started a rivalry with Asuka and Kairi Sane, locking horns with both women on different occasions.

Besides Becky Lynch, 'The Queen' also teamed up with Natalya earlier to take on The Kabuki Warriors. The rivalry became more serious at Survivor Series, where Charlotte and The Kabuki Warriors were on Team RAW, but Asuka betrayed Charlotte and the rest of the team, spitting green mist at the 10-Time women's champion. As a result, Charlotte and Asuka crossed paths in a singles match the following night on RAW, and Asuka won her first singles match against Flair. Moreover, Charlotte also lost to the Women's Tag Team Champions in a Handicap Match last week.

With Charlotte having feuded with Asuka and Kairi Sane for a while, she certainly deserved a title shot, but she just needed a tag team partner to even the numbers. As Becky Lynch agreed to join hands with her old foe, Charlotte certainly gained a credible partner, and they have a good chance of winning the twin belts at TLC.
