Tamina And Natalya Win Women’s Tag Team Titles – In a match with their bitter rivals on tonight’s Smackdown episode, Tamina and Natalya looked more ready than ever before. The duo started the match hot and nearly scored an early win, but the referee was too distracted by Reginald to count the pin. After the distraction, Reginald was promptly ejected from ringside, and losing his help made a vital difference for Baszler and Jax.
As the match went on, Snuka and Natalya began to gain more momentum, with Natalya hitting a massive German suplex on Baszler to help Tamina after she was nearly pulled off the top rope by her opponent. Instead, Snuka was able to launch off the top rope and hit a Superfly Splash onto Jax for the win.
Following the win, both Tamina and Natalya said the victory was for everyone who thinks their dreams might have passed them by. The extremely emotional duo then hugged and celebrated, posing with their newly won titles as fireworks went off to make the moment even more special.
This is the first title reign for Natalya and Snuka together, and Snuka’s first-ever major title win in WWE, not including the 24/7 Title. Jax and Baszler won the titles during the Royal Rumble Kickoff pre-show back on January 31, by defeating Asuka and Charlotte Flair.
Stay tuned for more. Below are several shots from tonight’s title change at the WWE ThunderDome in the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida:
