New Number One Contenders Named for WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles on SmackDown

A high-stakes tag team match on the March 6 episode of WWE SmackDown reshaped the Women’s Tag Team Championship picture, as two teams battled for the opportunity to challenge the reigning champions.

The match featured Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair facing Giulia and Kiana James in a No. 1 Contender’s bout. With the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles recently changing hands, the stakes were clear — one team would leave with a guaranteed championship opportunity.

What followed was a competitive back-and-forth contest that kept momentum shifting until the final moments.

The action picked up with both teams trading offense throughout the match. Bliss opened strong with arm drags and a quick dropkick, while Flair used her signature offense — including the Flair Flip and a big boot — to keep the pressure on their opponents.

Giulia and James countered with strong teamwork, isolating Flair at one point and forcing several near-falls. Later in the match, Giulia delivered a German suplex that nearly changed the outcome before the pace picked up again.

As the contest broke down into a fast-moving sequence — what some fans might call the classic “everybody-do-something-cool” phase — the finish soon followed.

Charlotte Flair delivered Natural Selection to Giulia, securing the pinfall victory for her team and officially earning a future shot at the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships.

With the win, Bliss and Flair move into position as the next challengers for the current champions, Nia Jax and Lash Legend, who captured the titles just one week earlier from Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY.

Interestingly, Bliss and Flair’s partnership began in mid-2025 as what they described as “Allies of Convenience.” Despite their complicated history, the duo has developed surprising chemistry — proof that sometimes wrestling’s strangest alliances can still find a way to tag in the same direction.

Now that they’ve earned their opportunity, the question becomes simple: can these two allies turn convenience into championship gold?
