WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles
Countdown Kick Off Show
Jade Cargill & Bianca Belair (c) vs. Indi Hartwell & Candice LeRae
QOTR Finals
Lyra Valkyria vs. Nia Jax
Women’s World Champion
Becky Lynch (c) vs. Liv Morgan
Here is our predictions:
WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles
JOEY: While the winners are obvious, props to Candice and Indi for getting a spot on the show (LeRae especially). Bianca and Jade aren’t losing those titles anytime soon but the spectacle of Jade is still more than enough to make me wanna watch this match.
WINNERS: Bianca & Jade
NICK: It would be way too early and random for Bianca and Jade to lose. Unless they do the turn on one another. But that’s a long time away I feel. Plus Shayna and Zoey won a number one contender spot anyway and I am sure they will face Bianca and Jade.
WINNERS: Bianca & Jade
QOTR Finals
JOEY: When this tournament began and the brackets were announced, this was not the match up I envisioned for the finals. Not complaining, it’s a fresh bout but I will be disappointed if Nia doesn’t secure the crown. I like Lyra, but not enough to justify a win here and then a title shot at SummerSlam. Not to mention this Queen of the Ring gimmick just seems tailor fit for Jax and she deserves to be the one to dethrone Bayley over on Smackdown. Valkyria will be fine taking a loss to Nia, plus too much too soon is not exactly booking that endears you to a white meat babyface.
Winner and NEW Queen of the Ring: Nia Jax
NICK: I think this tournament was fantastic and one of the best booked in a very long time. I could see it going either way as both women would pose great matches at SummerSlam. However, I think this is made for Nia for some many different reasons. Great introduction for Lyra on the main roster tho!
WINNER: Nia Jax
Women’s World Champion

Tomorrow is for me. Tomorrow is for my revenge. Tomorrow I finally beat Becky Lynch. Tomorrow I take what Rhea Ripley loves most. Tomorrow is for my redemption. Tomorrow I become your new Women’s World Champion. Cry about it.#LMRT pic.twitter.com/UM4bHAxJgP
JOEY: A lot is riding on the booking of this match for Liv Morgan and I’m nervous they’re going to hold off on giving Liv the title here bc WWE wants Becky going into Clash as the Women’s World Champion. From an objective standpoint, I understand the logic behind keeping the title on Becky and I’ve read a lot of commenters going back and forth on those who think Liv can lead the division vs. those who think she can’t. Personally, I think Liv has the rizz to warrant a run as the Women’s World Champion but Becky is the safe option. The more I think about the outcome, the more difficult the decision is, so I’m going to forgo logic and let my inner fan pick the winner.
Winner and NEW WWE Women’s World Champion: Liv Morgan
NICK: I love Becky and I love Liv, but I am tired of Liv losing to Becky. I much rather have had Liv take the belt off of Rhea but injuries happen. I still think Liv stays on the upper card though even if she loses because of Rhea returning. I can see a Liv, Rhea, and Becky triple threat at like SummerSlam which would REALLY put Liv over if she can retain there. Let’s go with who I want over what will likely happen just for fun.
WINNER: Liv Morgan
