WWE Women’s Tag Team Title Triple Threat Match Announced For Backlash
Another title match has been added to this weekend’s WWE Backlash show.
WWE announced that WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Bayley & Sasha Banks will defend their titles against the team of Billie Kay & Peyton Royce and the team of Alexa Bliss & Sasha Banks in a triple threat match.
The announcement comes after Bayley & Banks defeated Bliss & Cross on the June 5 episode of SmackDown to win the titles, allowing Bayley to hold both the SmackDown Women’s and WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship at the same time.
Four teams have held the Women’s Tag Team Championships, and three of them will be battling for the gold at WWE Backlash. Bayley & Sasha Banks will defend their newly-won titles against Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross and The IIconics in a loaded Triple Threat Match.
The SmackDown Women’s Champion & The Boss are fresh off reclaiming the titles on SmackDown with a win over Bliss & Cross. After an extended absence from the squared circle, The IIconics have made their intentions clear since their return: They want their titles back.
Will the “role models” use the opportunity as a launching point for a long title reign? Or will a former championship tandem once again claim tag team glory?
Below is the updated card for Backlash, taking place on June 14.
* WWE Championship: Drew McIntyre (c) vs. Bobby Lashley
* WWE Universal Championship Handicap Match: Braun Strowman (c) vs. John Morrison & The Miz
