On the other hand, the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship match between Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax and the Riott Squad also stands canceled. This match has been rendered impossible considering that both Baszler and Jax have not been given medical clearance to be in the ring.

The two teams have been embroiled in an intense rivalry for the Tag Team Championships. The entire WWE Universe was divided between which of the two teams was better than the other. Clash of Champions would have been where the final decision was made.
