Bengaluru, August 30: Raquel Rodriguez and Aliyah won the tag team tournament final to become the new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions on this week's episode of Monday Night Raw.

The red brand show, serving as the go-home edition for Clash at the Castle witnessed the newly paired superstars defeat IYO SKY and Dakota Kai in the Women's Tag Team Championship Tournament Finals that also served as the main event of the show.

Surprisingly, the newbie Aliyah got the pin-fall win by rolling up Kai in the finishing moments amid entire chaos outside the ring also featuring Bayley, Alexa Bliss, Asuka, and Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair.

In the first round, SKY and Kai beat Tamina and WWE 24/7 Champion Dana Brooke to advance before taking out Asuka and Alexa Bliss to make it to the finals.

On the other half of the bracket, Rodriguez and Aliyah defeated Xia Li and Shotzi in the opening round before putting away the winner of a Second Chance Fatal-4-Way, Natalya and Sonya Deville in the semi-finals.

Last night's win makes Rodriguez the first woman in WWE to win both the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship and the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.

She previously became the inaugural NXT Women's Tag Team Champion with Dakota Kai in March of 2019 after winning the Dusty Rhodes Women's Tag Team Classic. But they lost the titles to Ember Moon and Shotzi within an hour in the first title defense.

Rodriguez has also been a former NXT Women's Champion who won the gold on Night One NXT Stand & Deliver 2021 event from IYO SKY (fka Io Shirai). As for her current tag partner, Aliyah, she tasted her first title-winning moment in WWE on Raw.
