Bayley's faction member calls out "paper champions" ahead of title rematch on WWE RAW

Multi-time women's champion Bayley's stablemate and former NXT star Dakota Kai recently called out WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Raquel Rodriguez and Aliyah.

Two weeks ago, Rodriguez and Aliyah defeated Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai in the Women's Tag Team Title Tournament to win the vacated titles. However, there was a lot of controversy surrounding the finish of the match. Kai was pinned by Aliyah despite the fact that the former NXT star was not the legal person in the match.

Following the controversy, WWE announced that Raquel Rodriguez and Aliyah will defend their Women's Tag Team Titles against Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky on the upcoming episode of Monday Night RAW.

The former NXT Women's Tag Team Champion, who is part of Bayley's new faction called Damage CTRL, took to Twitter to say she was "embarrassed for the paper champions."

Fans seem to agree with WWE Superstar Dakota Kai

It seems like the WWE universe is in agreement with Dakota Kai's statement, with many believing that the "real champions" will win the tag team titles.

One fan even alluded to the illegal pin that took place the last time these two teams faced each other.

One fan even mentioned that the only "true paper champion" is The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns.

It seems like there are still expectations that Sasha Banks and Naomi will return to confront the new tag champs.

Fans will have to tune in to Monday Night RAW to see if Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky can defeat Raquel Rodriguez and Aliyah to become the Women's Tag Team Champions.

It also remains to be seen whether Sasha Banks and Naomi will make their surprise return to WWE.

Do you think Damage CTRL will win the Women's Tag Team Titles on RAW? Let us know in the comments section below.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
