They defeated Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky in the tournament finals to capture the gold. The coveted titles were vacated several months ago after Naomi and Sasha Banks walked out of the Red brand on May 16th. A tournament consisting of eight teams was announced to crown the new champions. The six remaining tag teams that participated in the tourney include Alexa Bliss & Asuka, Nikki A.S.H & Doudrop, Tamina & Dana Brooke, Xia Li & Shotzi, Toxic Attraction, and Natalya & Sonya Deville. Aliyah and Raquel Rodriguez won the titles on RAW this week after the former pinned Dakota Kai to earn the win for the team. They commented on their victory during a backstage interview with WWE Digital. "I mean, this means everything to us, both of us working so hard in NXT to get to RAW and SmackDown and then to main event RAW, and not only to main event RAW but to win the Women's Tag Team Titles, this is incredible," said Raquel. Aliyah said she didn't think she'd become champion, and thanked Rodriguez for being by her side. "And coming here tonight, I truly didn't believe that I deserved this match. But having you by my side, I 100% believe that I could've taken this so thank you so much," said Aliyah. Raquel Rodriguez added that she believed in her tag team partner every second of the way.
