A new match has been confirmed for the upcoming episode of WWE Smackdown that will see the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships hanging in the balance. The matchup was announced following the latest appearance of the champions during this week’s episode of NXT where they also competed in a matchup.
On the second episode of NXT on the CW Network, the NXT Women’s North American Champion Kelani Jordan and WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill defeated The Fatal Influence in a six-woman tag team action. With this, Belair and Cargill have appeared on both of the first two WWE NXT shows on The CW.
The title defense on WWE Smackdown was announced after a confrontation that Belair and Cargill had with Meta-Four’s Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson during WWE NXT. It was officially announced that the champions will defend their titles against Lash and Jakara, this Friday night.

Two nights before, the Women’s Tag Team Champions also hosted this past weekend’s Bad Blood pay-per-view alongside Naomi.
After picking up the win for his team at Bad Blood 2024, Roman Reigns will be in attendance on WWE Smackdown, this week.
