Fallon Henley shoots her shot for a tag team with Mickie James.
The competition continues to heat up in WWE's women's tag team division. On the December 11 episode of WWE Raw, Katana Chance and Kayden Carter beat Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell. In doing so, they earned a shot at the champions, Chelsea Green and Piper Niven.
NXT star Fallon Henley took to social media to comment on the match and sent a message to former WWE Women's Champion Mickie James. She pitched her idea of saddling up, James teaching her to be hardcore country, and chasing the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship together.
@MickieJames hear me out… what if we saddled up, you taught me to be hardcore country and we went for the WWE Women’s Tag Titles. I’ll bring the drinks! -- https://t.co/819e9CQpwE

Update: James subsequently responded and said she was Henley's Huckleberry.
I’m your Huckleberry. ---- https://t.co/HVEPY1CY8r
