"Surprise! Early on in this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Charlotte Flair was taken out in an attack backstage by Jade Cargill and her baddies. General Manager Nick Aldis made clear she wasn’t cleared and he was going to postpone her planned women’s tag team championship match alongside Tatum Paxley against Fatal Influence. Flair was having none of it. Instead, she insisted on Alexa Bliss, her usual tag team partner, stepping in for her. Bliss chose to do so, and Aldis agreed the match could go ahead. As I said at the top of the post: surprise! NEW WOMEN'S TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!! 🏆 What a moment for @AlexaBliss_WWE and @TatumPaxley!! pic.twitter.com/7iWcux41Ds — WWE (@WWE) October 10, 2026 They weren’t given a ton of time but they made the most of what they had, with the finish seeing Paxley hit Cemetery Drive to score the pinfall and the victory.
