Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY Capture WWE Women’s Tag Titles on Raw

Overview

• The duo defeated the Kabuki Warriors in Raw’s opening match at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center after a Riptide into Over the Moonsault, with Ripley pinning Asuka.
• The loss ended Asuka and Kairi Sane’s reign at 57 days, which began after they beat Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss on Nov. 10.
• It is Ripley’s second career tag title reign and SKY’s third, though their first together after prior runs with Nikki Cross and Dakota Kai, respectively.
• Ripley later posted an image of a bloody finger, writing that the Kabuki Warriors “took my nail,” underscoring the match’s physical toll.
• Asuka cast the setback as motivation to pursue the belts again, while Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss, Nia Jax & Lash Legend, Liv Morgan & Roxanne Perez, and Bayley & Lyra Valkyria are cited as potential challengers.
