PWInsider revealed that the current WWE Women’s tag team champion walked out on Monday’s taping in Norfolk, Virginia, after having issues with their roles in a six-pack challenged match to determine the next challenger for Bianca Belair. 

Many sources said that Naomi would lose to Belair at Hell in a Cell. Though not confirmed, it was also noted that some sources believed that Banks would go on to face WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey at the same event, with Banks also losing. 

Tonight’s SmackDown episode will see WWE deciding on this. We might see some #1 contender tag team matches if they wish to make some stable new champion.

3. RAW Tag Team Champions RK-Bro vs SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos in a Winners Take All Title Unification Match.

Friday Night SamckDown is set for The Winner to Take All Tag Team Title Unification Match between RK-Bro and The Uso. Originally, this match was supposed to happen at WrestleMania Backlash; however, it got converted into a Six-Man Tag Team clash as Roman Reigns, and Drew McIntyre got involved.

The Bloodline got the better of the newly formed trio. We might see an even better performance from RK-Bro as they will be looking to bounce back and grab all the titles at once. But Reigns might interfere again and make sure that Riddle and Orton don’t go on top.

So will The Bloodline be leaving SmackDown with all the gold, or can RK-Bro turn the tables around?
