Ever since Liv Morgan managed to score a pinfall victory over WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus (who replaced Lita) and simultaneously cut short Lita and Becky Lynch's run with the belts, she and Raquel Rodriguez have been Women's Tag Team Champions.
The duo most recently picked up a victory over Bayley and Dakota Kai on WWE SmackDown. There is a significant possibility that they will defend the titles next against Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville.
While they may have started off as a makeshift tag team, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez have managed to gain support from fans who seem to be rooting for the babyface tag team. Enter former WWE Superstars Billie Kay and Peyton Royce.
Together dubbed The IIconics, the two dethroned inaugural Women's Tag Team Champions Sasha Banks (aka Mercedes Mone) and Bayley at WrestleMania 35.
Despite a stellar victory at the Show of Shows, the popular tag team dropped the belts in 120 days to Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross, then never climbed up the ranks again.
Being the longest-reigning champions at the time, they even released a t-shirt to celebrate. This segment sparked a moment of flirtatious banter with Roman Reigns.
By 2020, The IIconics broke up and were sent to separate brands, and by 2021, both Billie Kay and Peyton Royce were released due to the budget cuts caused by the pandemic.
A recent post by WWE, however, has led fans to believe that the company has teased the return of The IIconics to potentially challenge Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez.
After a successful one-year run with IMPACT Wrestling (where they were dubbed The IInspiration), they announced their departure from in-ring competition in April 2022. However, Billie Kay and Peyton Royce could be on their way back to the global juggernaut promotion.
Liv Morgan's former WWE rival could also be gunning for the tag titles upon return
Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler picked up a victory at WrestleMania 39 in a fatal-4 way "Women's Showcase" match. This was apparently done because the former UFC stars were meant to begin a program for the tag titles.
However, Rousey's injury has forced the company to push the storyline to a later date. Originally, they were slated for a long title run through the spring and summer:
"Ronda is pushing for the tag titles. That’s the match that she wants and whatever she wants she gets," stated a source to WrestlingNews.
If Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez manage to keep the titles for a while, perhaps Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler could resurface and challenge the current champions.
Interestingly, both the former UFC stars were involved with Liv Morgan last year, with the latter cashing in her MITB contract on Rousey to win her first world title. It is The Baddest Woman on the Planet, however, that ultimately put an end to Morgan's run with the SmackDown Women's Championship.
