WrestleMania 36 Review: Night One

Bliss Cross, Applesauce

Bliss Cross are now the only two time WWE Women's Tag Team Champions!

WWE Women's Tag Team Championship: Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) (c) vs. Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross

Surprisingly the curtain raiser of the night, the women of the understated tag team division provided a fun-filled outing. The tag team battle featured the Kabuki Warriors at their manic best, Alexa Bliss as the surprising glue of the contest. Most importantly, however, this was a showcase for the crazy character work of Nikki Cross. As JBL put it perfectly on commentary, Cross not only put in a hell of an effort en route to victory but she also made the most of her WrestleMania moment.

As we are aware, many of the matches if not all were taped before the broadcast tonight. WWE's efficient editing team did a clerical job in covering the mistakes, to give a gratifying opener.

It helped that both teams were on top form, with two outstanding sequences of top rope moves to save the day. At the same time, a perfect working of classic tag team wrestling with hot tags that didn't need a crowd to get the thrill on.

Result: Alexa Bliss pins Kairi Sane to win the match, making Bliss Cross the first two time and NEW WWE Women's Tag Team Champions!
