In a stunning turn of events at WWE’s Clash at the Castle, Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill saw their reign as WWE Women’s Tag-Team Champions cut short by Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn of The Unholy Union. The triple threat match in Glasgow, Scotland, ended with a surprising victory for The Unholy Union, marking a notable shift in the tag team landscape after just 42 days of dominance by Belair and Cargill.
The Reason Behind the Quick Title Change
Teddy Long, WWE Hall of Famer and seasoned wrestling personality, recently shared his insights on the abrupt title change during an interview. According to Long, the decision to dethrone Belair and Cargill was strategically aimed at catering to the overseas market, particularly in Scotland where The Unholy Union enjoys strong support.
“In the overseas market, that’s going to be a big money market for the company,” Long commented, emphasizing WWE’s business strategy in expanding its global reach. “They understand this is entertainment, but they’re also thinking about how to maximize the appeal in different regions.”
Potential Future Storylines
Long hinted at potential storyline developments following the title loss, suggesting WWE might explore a narrative of rivalry and jealousy between Belair and Cargill. “You get the tag team going again, and then you start that little jealousy there,” he explained, envisioning a plot where competition between the two could lead to compelling confrontations inside and outside the ring. “It’s about who’s going to outdo the other, who’s going to shine brighter.”
Drawing parallels to past WWE narratives, Long likened The Unholy Union’s victory to instances where unexpected champions emerge, citing Jinder Mahal’s WWE Championship win as an example of WWE’s strategic storytelling to captivate diverse audiences.
