A WWE star has sent a warning to Adam Pearce after the announcement of a WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship match next week.

With WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 around the corner, much of the focus of the women’s division has been on who will qualify for the event’s titular match.

As such, WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY, as well as many of their potential contenders for the titles, have been focused on singles glory and earning a shot at main eventing WrestleMania 42 rather than the tag gold.

Despite that, an announcement was made during the February 20 episode of SmackDown that The Irresistible Forces (Nia Jax & Lash Legend) will get the next shot at RHIYO’s titles on next week’s SmackDown, a decision that has proved to be the tipping point for an already vocally disgruntled team over on Monday Night Raw.

For not the first time in recent weeks, Bayley and Lyra Valkyria have taken to social media to call out Raw General Manager Adam Pearce and his lack of effort to get them a shot at the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles.

Honestly, MIGHT EXPLODE

Bayley’s tag team partner Lyra Valkyria would then chime in as well, calling on Pearce to address the situation:

answer her Scrapfather @ScrapDaddyAP

As mentioned, this is not the first time Bayley and Lyra have voiced their displeasure at Adam Pearce management skills, doing so two weeks ago prior to Jax and Legend’s last WWE Women’s Tag Team Title opportunity on the February 13 episode of SmackDown.

That match between RHIYO and The Irresistible Forces ended in a no contest, motivating the announcement of their rematch next week.

Adam Pearce has yet to respond to Bayley and Lyra’s request at the time of writing.
