On the Raw after WrestleMania episode on April 3, new number one contenders were declared for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles. Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez defeated the team of Damage CTRL to earn a title opportunity. They will face the champions of Lita and Becky Lynch next Monday.
Here is what the tag champs say about their new opponents –
This was the only women’s match of the show after it has been reported that two other women’s matches were cut and this one was created instead. It was originally going to be a tourney to determine the number one contender of the Raw Women’s Title. It was two Triple Threats between Candice LeRae vs. Raquel Rodriguez vs. IYO SKY and one that was supposed to be between Liv Morgan vs. Dakota Kai vs. Piper Niven.
Bayley was also cut from joining Damage CTRL at ringside for unknown reasons.
There was a segment between Bianca Belair and the new SmackDown Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley. After Belair successfully retained against Auska, Ripley let her know that she is lucky she chose Charlotte Flair and not her to face at Mania. They both stated that they will face each other one day down the road.
Various reports have been out from both Fightful, PWInsider, and others that Vince McMahon had a big hand in last night’s show and changed most things within 15 minutes before the show started and sometimes during the show itself.
For a three hour show, Raw had just over 30 minutes worth of match time overall.
