#2 It was a bad night for the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions before Fastlane

While Reginald went off to relax somewhere this week, WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler wrestled their Fastlane opponents in two separate singles matches.

WWE SmackDown kicked-off with Jax getting a title shot against Sasha Banks.

Before the match, it seemed like Banks wasn't on the same page as Bianca Belair. However, as the match progressed further, Jax and Baszler turned out to be the duo that wasn't on the same page. Due to some miscommunication, Baszler accidentally kicked her partner and cost her the SmackDown Women's title match against Banks.

To make up for her mistake, Baszler promised to brutalize Belair in their own singles match.

But during Baszler vs. Belair, Jax walked away and left her partner alone in the ring, adding more conflict to their partnership. The match itself ended in a no-contest when Tamina and Natalya interfered and dominated everyone in the ring.

So here are three major takeaways from this entire plot thread that took place during this week's WWE SmackDown:

  1. Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair are on good terms before Fastlane.
  2. Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler are not on good terms before Fastlane.
  3. Natalya and Tamina want a shot at the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships.

Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair are scheduled to wrestle each other at WrestleMania, so there is a good chance that they won't be on the same page once again.

Additionally, this dissension between Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler could cost them their titles at Fastlane. If that happens, will they have a reason to stay as tag team partners anymore?

With so many overcomplications at hand, when will WWE solely focus on the WrestleMania clash between Banks and Belair?
