Becky Lynch and Trish Stratus defended the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship on the last edition of RAW. Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodríguez won the titles, after which the first sent a message to her partner.
Lita and Lynch won the Women’s Tag Team Championship on the February 27, 2023, episode of RAW. Originally, they were booked to defend the title against Rodriguez and Morgan on Monday, but Lita was attacked backstage before the match.
Trish Stratus filled in for her best friend for the match but was unable to defend the title for her team. She was pinned by Liv Morgan, who won the championship for her side.
After the win, Rodriguez and Morgan were interviewed backstage by Cathy Kelley. During her conversation, the former SmackDown Women’s Champion “challenged” her partner not to betray her like the times they had betrayed her before.
“Do you know how many times I’ve been betrayed in couples? My God, dude, don’t betray me. Don’t you dare,” said Liv Morgan. [H/T: Fightful]
Rodriguez had a brief title reign with Aliyah in August 2022. She also briefly held the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championship with Dakota Kai, but did not have a memorable reign.
Trish Stratus turned heel after Liv Morgan pinned her on WWE RAW
Trish Stratus replaced Lita in the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship match after Adam Pearce allowed her to do so. The last-minute trade spelled disaster for Big Time Becks, who was looking to make a successful defense on the show.
Stratus lost the title to her team after she was suddenly pinned by Liv Morgan for the win. The Hall of Famer turned heel after he finished the match. He attacked Lynch and kicked her to the ground before exiting the ring.
Fans expected Stratus to turn heel sooner rather than later, and they didn’t have to wait too long. The angle was well booked, as The Quintessential Diva cost her team the title.
The heel turn comes just in time for WWE Backlash, which is only a few weeks away. Fans can finally catch a great match between the two superstars at the upcoming live premium event in Puerto Rico.
