The Kabuki Warriors Reclaim Women’s Tag Team Titles in Chaotic Raw Main Event
The Kabuki Warriors – Asuka and Kairi Sane – have once again captured the Women’s Tag Team Championships, defeating Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss in a dramatic main event on Monday’s Raw. The victory sets the stage for a high-stakes WarGames match in San Diego on November 29.
The finish of the match was anything but clean. According to reports, Lash Legend and Nia Jax intentionally interfered in the contest, creating a crucial distraction. This allowed Asuka to strike Charlotte Flair from behind, paving the way for Kairi Sane to deliver her signature “insane elbow” and secure the win for the Kabuki Warriors.
This marks the third reign as Women’s Tag Team Champions for Asuka and Sane. Their opponents, Flair and Bliss, had held the titles since SummerSlam, where they defeated Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez. The shift in championship control underscores the volatile nature of the women’s division.
The post-match scene descended into further chaos as Legend, Jax, Asuka, and Sane continued their assault on Flair and Bliss. However, the tide turned with the unexpected return of IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley, who intervened to level the playing field. It was Ripley who emphatically announced the WarGames match, confirming the eight women will clash in a brutal showdown.
The rivalry between The Kabuki Warriors and Ripley & SKY has been particularly intense. Just last month, at Crown Jewel, Asuka and Sane defeated Ripley and SKY, resulting in a broken nose for Ripley. In the weeks following, the Kabuki Warriors strategically targeted the former champions, even resorting to deception on a recent episode of SmackDown. Reports indicate they disguised themselves as nurses during a medical check-up for Bliss, providing Asuka with the opportunity to attack both women with a mysterious mist.
The upcoming WarGames match promises to be a defining moment for all involved, and the return of Ripley and SKY suggests a determined effort to reclaim lost ground. The Kabuki Warriors’ championship win, coupled with the escalating tensions, has undoubtedly ignited a new chapter in the women’s division.
