Luck smiles once again on The IIconics, who remain WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions thanks to an assist from an unexpected source. With the tandem of Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross surging toward victory in a rare title defense for the Australians, SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley inadvertently swung the result when she went face-to-face with Little Miss Bliss at ringside.
She also, crucially, stopped Bliss from breaking up a roll-up by The IIconics, leading to Cross eating the pinfall and the champs retaining. Given that Alexa had planted a germ in Nikki’s brain that Bayley somehow had it in for The Twisted Sister, The Huggable One’s involvement was enough to push Cross to a potentially fateful decision after the bout: She’ll be in Alexa’s corner this Sunday at Stomping Grounds.
