Fatal Influence’s Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid are the brand new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, thanks, in fact, with slightly help from Jacy Jayne, after defeating Brie Bella and Paige within the opening match of WWE Saturday Night’s Fundamental Event.
Paige and Reid began off the match, with Reid kicking things off hot, taking Paige off of her feet first. Paige quickly regained her composure and tagged in Bella for some double-team help, but Reid stumbled back into her corner to tag in Henley.
Henley taunted Bella with “Yes!” chants, but Bella got her isolated in Scream Mode’s corner. They hit a double-team bulldog, but Paige couldn’t put Henley away. Fatal Influence then isolated Paige of their corner, but after they tried to gang up on her, she easily got back to Bella.
Bella hit her Yes! kicks to Henley, an homage to her husband, AEW’s Bryan Danielson, then got her to the mat with a dropkick. She tried to lock within the Yes Lock, but Henley quickly got to the underside rope. Paige hit knees to Henley through the ropes and Jayne looked to become involved, and Henley was capable of capitalize off the distraction, dropping Paige. Bella sent Henley into the barricade, in some way busting her open, and Reid missed a giant move from the highest rope. Paige intercepted a knee from Reid with a kick to the face, but Jayne was up on the apron once more to distract the referee.
Henley hit a clothesline to Paige, but Paige sent her into the ring post shoulder-first. Ultimately, nonetheless, it was Reid to capitalize, with some help from Jayne, to roll-up Paige for Fatal Influence to win the gold.
