WWE Universe has been celebrating the iconic victory of Natalya and Tamina ever since the duo defeated Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler to capture the Women’s Tag Team titles.

In the match, Jax delivered a Samoan Drop to Natalya before getting pinned courtesy of a thunderous Superfly Splash from Tamina. Ahead of their loss, their new associate Reginald was also ejected from the ringside for distracting the referee.

After a long silence, Nia finally spoke out on her and Baszler’s loss on SmackDown. She accused WWE of robbing them off of their titles. However, she promised she would be back to seek revenge.

Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax accuse WWE of favoritism

Apart from the referee, the former Tag Team champions also accused backstage interviewer Kayla Braxton of favoritism. Following the victory of Natalya and Tamina, Braxton promptly went inside the ring to interview them.

This obviously did not sit well with Shayna as she attacked Braxton. She accused the WWE personnel of never interviewing Jax and her. Shayna sarcastically wrote to Nia, Remember when Kayla Braxton interviewed US after winning these titles (TWICE)?!? Oh wait……#favoritism.”

Hence, it is highly likely that the team could be broken up soon. Unlike before, Nia and Shayna would have to limit themselves to Monday Night RAW.
