#3: Charlotte Flair pinned Bianca Belair on WWE SmackDown to a mixed response by the fans; Riott Squad weren't involved in the tag team elimination match for some reason

The final result of the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship match saw Charlotte Flair picking up a victory for herself and Asuka by successfully putting down Bianca Belair with the Natural Selection maneuver.

Apart from Survivor Series and a few Battle Royal matches, Belair had been on a major winning spree until last week's WWE SmackDown, where Bayley managed to defeat her in singles competition.

Charlotte Flair and Asuka were most likely to retain this week, but WWE fans were confused as to why Belair had to take the loss via pinfall here.

On the other hand, The EST of WWE was pinned by Charlotte Flair, whose reputation is that of an extremely dominant athlete in WWE. So the loss doesn't derail Belair's momentum to a huge extent.

Ruby Riott and Liv Morgan watched the aforementioned match from the backstage area, perhaps teasing a future contest against Flair and Asuka in WWE. The Riott Squad had picked up two consecutive tag team victories in December, so it was a bummer that the only actual female tag team on WWE SmackDown weren't included as a part of the Women's Tag Team Championship match on the Blue brand this week.
