The tournament begins tonight
Aug 9, 2022
WWE unveiled the full bracket for its tournament to crown brand new Women's Tag Team champion during Monday's episode of Raw.
The eight team tournament is set to begin on tonight's Raw, and includes the following quarterfinal match-ups:
* Tamina and Dana Brooke vs. Dakota Kai and IYO SKY
* Alexa Bliss and Asuka vs. Nikki ASH and Doudrop
* Raquel Rodriguez and Aliyah vs. Xia Li and Shotzi
* Natalya and Sonya Deville vs. Nikkita Lyons and Zoey Stark
The match pitting Tamina and Brooke vs. Kai and SKY is set to take place on tonight's Raw in Cleveland.
The tournament will include the main roster debuts of Lyons and Stark, both previously members of the NXT roster.
The Women's Tag Team titles were vacated after then-champions Sasha Banks and Naomi walked out of WWE during the May 16 episode of Raw, over apparent creative differences. Michael Cole announced during the subsequent SmackDown broadcast on May 20 that Banks and Naomi had been suspended, and there would be a tournament to crown new champions.
