The long chapter to crown a new set of WWE Women's Tag Team Champions has come to a close.
On the August 29 edition of WWE Raw, in the finals of the tournament that was being held to crown new champions, Raquel Rodriguez and Aliyah scored a stunning upset when they defeated Dakota Kai and IYO SKY to win the vacant WWE Women's Tag Team Championships. On their path to the finals, Rodriguez and Aliyah defeated Shotzi and Xia Li in the first round. They then defeated Natalya and Sonya Deville to clinch a spot in the finals.

This win marks the beginning of the first reign with the belts for both Rodriguez and Aliyah. Rodriguez previously held the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship with Kai on two occasions.
The WWE Women's Tag Team Championships were vacated back on May 20, 2022 when then champions Sasha Banks and Naomi walked out before an episode of WWE Raw. Following the walkout, Banks and Naomi were suspended from the promotion.
