In a surprising turn of events at SummerSlam, the unlikely duo of Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair defied expectations, capturing the coveted WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship. This victory marked a significant moment for both veteran competitors, solidifying their place atop the women’s division despite their historically tumultuous relationship.
The formidable pairing of Bliss and Flair, two of WWE’s most decorated female superstars, entered the high-stakes contest against the dynamic, rising team of Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez. While the latter boasted fresh momentum, the former brought an unparalleled wealth of experience and championship pedigree to the squared circle.
Charlotte Flair, a multi-time Women’s Champion, stepped into SummerSlam with an impressive track record, adding another major win to her storied career. Alexa Bliss, known for her adaptability and success in various tag team formations, proved once again her prowess in achieving gold alongside any partner.
Leading up to the event, Bliss acknowledged the lack of extensive tag team experience between herself and Flair. However, she astutely pointed out that their opponents, Perez and Rodriguez, also faced a similar challenge, leveling the playing field in what promised to be an unpredictable encounter.
The match itself was a testament to the competitive spirit of all four athletes. Despite moments of miscommunication between Bliss and Flair, their veteran instincts allowed them to quickly recover and maintain control. Perez and Rodriguez, demonstrating impressive synergy, worked tirelessly to cut off the ring and isolate their opponents, showcasing their formidable teamwork.
Key moments of the bout included Perez countering Bliss’s signature Twist of Bliss, momentarily shifting momentum, and Flair executing a powerful fallaway slam before attempting a daring moonsault on both opponents. The action was intense, with near falls keeping the WWE Universe on the edge of their seats.
A critical misstep occurred when Alexa Bliss inadvertently struck Charlotte Flair, leading to a brutal Tejana Bomb from Rodriguez and a Pop Rocks from Perez. However, Bliss quickly intervened, breaking the subsequent pin attempt and redeeming her error, a pivotal moment that underscored their collective determination.
With their partnership back on track, Bliss initiated her finisher, Sister Abigail, setting up Perez for the grand finale. Charlotte Flair capitalized on the opportunity, delivering a devastating big boot to Rodriguez, clearing the path for Bliss to execute her finisher and secure the pinfall victory over Perez.
This championship change was one of the most talked-about outcomes of the night. For Charlotte Flair, it marked her second reign as a tag team champion, while Alexa Bliss celebrated an impressive fourth capture of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship, further cementing her legacy in WWE history.
