WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Nia Jax and Lash Legend have named two absent stars as their dream tag-team opponents.
Ahead of defending their gold in a four-way match on WrestleMania 42 Saturday, Jax and Legend were asked for their dream opponents.
Speaking with SiriusXM’s Pro Wrestling Nation 24/7, Nia Jax named Bianca Belair and Naomi as a team she’d love to face alongside Legend, two names which Legend quickly agreed with.
The duo noted:
Legend: It’s tough because we’re already are going against Hall of Famers and future Hall of Famers.
Jax: I mean, I feel like when Bianca (Belair) and Naomi were teamed up together, that would be a dream match for us. That’s definitely one of our top (dream matches).

Belair and Naomi technically became Women’s Tag Team Champions together on the December 20, 2024 edition of SmackDown, with Naomi replacing Jade Cargill for the rest of the reign following Cargill being taken out by a mystery attacker.
The mystery attacker was ultimately revealed to be Naomi, who faced Cargill at WrestleMania 41 and Evolution 2025 ahead of cashing in her Money in the Bank contract to become Women’s World Champion at the end of the latter show.
Naomi relinquished her Women’s World Championship in August 2025, after announcing her pregnancy.
Bianca Belair hasn’t wrestled since facing Rhea Ripley and champion IYO SKY for the Women’s World Championship at WrestleMania 41.
She suffered a knuckle injury during this match, and hasn’t been able to return to the ring in the year since, with the recovery being more complicated and leading to a longer period of absence than initially hoped.
While many fans are anticipating Naomi and Belair’s returns in the future, many are also predicting that Nia Jax and Lash Legend will lose their gold this weekend.
With the Irresistible Forces defending against Bayley & Lyra Valkyria, Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss, and either the Bella Twins or a team featuring a returning star, there are many threats to Legend and Jax’s gold on April 18.
