#3. Naomi and Lana get passed for a title shot on WWE RAW

Naomi and Lana were quietly passed off from a Women's Tag Team Championship shot despite becoming the #1 Contenders on WWE RAW. Lana even has a victory over Nia Jax on RAW, but when the Tag Team Champions went to SmackDown, they secured a different team for Elimination Chamber.

Thanks to a fluke pin by Reginald, Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair earned a Women's Tag Team title shot at Elimination Chamber. Unfortunately, it was also Reginald who cost them the Tag Team title match.

Now that Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler will return to WWE RAW, it's time for them to refocus on the actual #1 Contenders. While Naomi and Lana aren't the strongest team, they have decent momentum.

Lana beat Nia Jax but lost to Shayna Baszler. We either expect a non-title match between the two (though that makes no sense) or another mix of singles matches between the four women on WWE RAW.

If not, WWE may quietly pass on Naomi and Lana as title challengers. It would be odd, but crazier things have happened. An alternate scenario is the duo getting squashed in a title match on RAW.
