4 Tag Teams Paige could bring to SmackDown Live next week during the Superstar Shake-Up

The IIconics made their first title defense on SmackDown after defeating Sasha Banks and Bayley for the WWE Tag Team titles at WrestleMania 35. Billie Kay and Peyton Royce said they scouted all of the teams in New York and found the 45-0 team of Brooklyn Belles. In a quick squash match, the IIconics easily won, but during and after the match, Paige was shown backstage watching the match.

After the match, she was asked by Kayla Braxton how she was doing and why she was watching the match. Paige happily answered, saying that she would be bringing a team of her own to SmackDown next week during the Superstar Shake-Up.

With rosters set to change drastically next week in order to set the WWE up for the rest of the year, just who might Paige be bringing with her to SmackDown next week?

Due to their history, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville may have been possibilities but they are already active members of the show. Here are four other possible teams that she could bring to SmackDown in order to help shake things up.

#4 The Sky Pirates

Could the Sky Pirates be debuting next week with Paige as their mouthpiece?

Prior to the Fatal Four Way match at WrestleMania, it would have made sense to have a team from NXT to be a part of the match. Bayley and Sasha Banks had said that they would defend the titles across all brands, including NXT.

But since both women were already involved in the NXT Women's Championship match at NXT TakeOver: New York, that might have impeded that from happening. So now that Sane has technically done all she can do in NXT, is she heading to the main roster next week?

She's been in both Royal Rumble matches and the battle royals this year at 'Mania. Io Shirai just seems to be getting started in NXT and is likely the one who will dethrone Shayna Baszler at some point.

Paige being their mouthpiece would also be beneficial since both women still need a little work on their English. While this is one of the most exciting teams in WWE, in might not be time for the Sky Pirates to fly high on the seas of SmackDown just yet.

#3 Kairi Sane and Candice LaRae

LeRae and Sane celebrate with Johnny Gargano after competing in Women's WrestleMania Battle Royal.

If Io Shirai is slated to be a big player going forward for NXT, and she should, then perhaps Sane debuts with Candice LeRae as her partner instead. Both women have been touring with the SmackDown brand at live events, perhaps in order to get ready for the main roster.

They both were also participants in both the 2019 Women's Royal Rumble and the Women's WrestleMania Battle Royal this year. LeRae is already someone who doesn't need much seasoning in NXT and her role lately has been doting wife in support of her husband.

While it's nice to see her support Johnny Wrestling, they need to let her start to shine on her own in matches. Sane doesn't need any more seasoning in NXT and LeRae could do most of the talking for the duo. Both women are also extremely popular with the audience. If their was one team that would make the most sense, it would be this one.

#2 Mia Yim and Deonna Purrazzo

Yim is more than ready to be on the main roster in WWE.

NXT is certainly filled with several talented women who are more than ready to make their marks on either Raw or SmackDown. Women like Shayna Baszler, Mia Yim, Deonna Purrazzo, Candice LeRae, Kairi Sane, Dakota Kai and Bianca Belair could easily join the main roster next week.

But since Yim is so talented and experienced, it would make sense for her to join the main roster sooner rather than later. Another ultra talented female who is also more than ready for the main roster is Purrazzo. She hasn't been featured on NXT much of late and it could be for two reasons.

Those reasons could be that the storylines don't factor her into them or that she might be getting ready for the main roster. Vanessa Bourne and Aliyah are just finding their footing as a team and are heels, so that wouldn't make sense since the IIconics are also heels.

With that being said, Yim and Purrazzo would give SmackDown a team with a lot of technical talent which is something that has been said to be what Fox wants for SmackDown when they start airing the blue brand in the Fall.

#1 Rhea Ripley and Killer Kelly

Could the first-ever NXT UK Women's Champion be accompanying Paige to SmackDown next week?

This pairing would make sense for various reasons, with the first being that although they are not British, they are members of NXT UK. Since Paige is one of the most popular superstars from the UK, she might be called upon to help some of the newer prospects to WWE get used to the main roster.

Ripley is younger than Paige and already has an NXT UK Women's Title reign and a Royal Rumble appearance under her belt when she appeared in this year's match. Triple H obviously sees a lot in her to have her accomplish both of those things so young into her WWE career.

And Killer Kelly is just as impressive as Ripley while not as physically opposing. Both women are no nonsense bad ass-types who are directly in antithesis to what the IIconics are - loud-mouth ladies who often talk a little too much (albeit often hilariously).

While it would be a heel vs. heel dynamic, the NXT UK duo would also help sell the 'International' part of the 'First-Ever International Superstar Shake Up'. Pete Dunne might also be coming to the main roster next week, but more than one addition from NXT UK would truly make it 'International'.
