Shayna Baszler, Nia Jax defeat Bayley, Sasha Banks to become Women's Tag Team Champions

At WWE Payback 2020, Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax proved many critics wrong as they defeated Bayley and Sasha Banks to become the new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions. The two superstars were able to keep their differences aside as they worked together to take down The Golden Role Models who are certainly having a very bad month. According to various reports, after losing her WWE RAW Women’s Championship and Women's Tag-Team Championship within a week, Sasha Banks could go after her own friend Bayley and the only title they have left – the WWE SmackDown Women’s championship. Fans speculate that the highly-anticipated breakup storyline between the two superstars could start soon and the duo could also headline a major PPV in the future.
