WWE has announced a new title match for the June 14 Backlash pay-per-view which comes our way on the WWE Network this coming Sunday.
The Women’s Tag Team Championship will be on the line as new two-time champs Bayley & Sasha Banks defend in a three-way against both the IIconics and Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross.
Bayley & Banks defeated Bliss & Cross for the straps on this past Friday’s episode of SmackDown.
WWE.com writes:
Four teams have held the Women’s Tag Team Championships, and three of them will be battling for the gold at WWE Backlash. Bayley & Sasha Banks will defend their newly-won titles against Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross and The IIconics in a loaded Triple Threat Match.
The SmackDown Women’s Champion & The Boss are fresh off reclaiming the titles on SmackDown with a win over Bliss & Cross. After an extended absence from the squared circle, The IIconics have made their intentions clear since their return: They want their titles back.
Will the “role models” use the opportunity as a launching point for a long title reign? Or will a former championship tandem once again claim tag team glory?
