SmackDown Women s Champion Sasha Banks & Bianca Belair are set to team up again on the road to their title match at WrestleMania.
WWE has announced that Banks & Belair will challenge for Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler s Women s Tag Team titles at Fastlane on Sunday, March 21. The pay-per-view will stream live on the WWE Network and Peacock.
This is the first match that s been announced for Fastlane.
Jax & Baszler retained their titles against Banks & Belair at Elimination Chamber last month. The finish of that match was Jax pinning Banks after Banks was distracted by Carmella s sommelier Reginald. Reginald, who is infatuated with Banks in storyline, tried to give Banks a champagne bottle to use as a weapon, but Banks refused to use it. Jax then gave Banks a Samoan drop to get the win.
Following the finish of tonight s Women s Tag Team title match, WWE is hyping that a major announcement will be made on NXT next week.
NXT general manager William Regal said on tonight s show that he ll be making an announcement that will change the landscape of NXT next Wednesday. The announcement is related to WWE authority figure Adam Pearce helping Raw s Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler retain their Women s Tag Team titles against NXT s Dakota Kai & Raquel Gonzalez tonight.
After NXT referee Aja Smith was accidentally knocked down when Gonzalez went to hit a big boot on Jax during tonight s title match, Pearce ran out with Raw referee Shawn Bennett as Baszler had Kai in the Kirifuda Clutch. Despite Kai not being the legal person, Bennett called for the bell when she passed out in the Kirifuda Clutch.
