#2: Women's Tag Team Gold on the line

The IIconics may have only defended the WWE Women's Tag Team Titles three times during their reign, which started at WrestleMania 35, but it seems the new champions Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross are making up for lost time.

Last week, the new champs won the titles from the Aussie duo in a match on RAW which also featured the Kabuki Warriors and Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville.

On the SummerSlam kick-off show, the pair kept up their winning ways, retaining the titles against The IIconics, but will certainly have a tall order on tonight's episode, when they face Kairi Sane and Asuka.

Though the Japanese tag team are yet to hold the tag titles, the pair certainly have had plenty of success in singles action. Sane is a former NXT Women's Champion, and Asuka has held the same title, as well as the SmackDown Women's title and was the winner of the very first women's Royal Rumble.

Could we see the Kabuki Warriors become the new SmackDown Tag Team Champions tonight, ending Bliss and Cross' reign after just one week?
