Post-match, they celebrated with Bianca, Bliss, and Asuka in the ring. Fireworks were going off as the show went off the air.
Many fans expected to see the return of Sasha Banks and Naomi after this match after they reached an agreement to return to the company. Banks and Naomi walked out of a WWE Raw event in May due to creative differences as WWE wanted Naomi to win a six-pack challenge on the show. WWE suspended them and stripped them of the Women’s Tag Team Titles.
That didn’t happen, and fans will have to wait a little bit longer.
