A few days earlier, when Ronda Rousey pointed fingers at the women’s tag team division, she targeted Damage CTRL. And now, just two days later, the equation has completely changed. The former champions lost their tag team titles to Becky Lynch and Lita on Monday Night RAW. The dramatic match also saw a return of a WWE Hall of Famer to help the duo that later became champions. Nevertheless, fans were treated to a classic match, after which they couldn’t resist but express their joy over the internet.
If one dives deep into the past relationship between Lynch and Lovely Lita, one would be surprised how they ended up being tag team partners. In early 2022, the 47-year-old challenged The Man at the Elimination Chamber just to get defeated later on.
However, a year later she returned to assist Lynch in claiming the victory against Bayley. Soon, the two stars partnered to pull down Damage CTRL from its prestigious position. However, in the way of accomplishing it, they got a little assistance from one of the greatest women wrestlers.

Some questioned the booking choice if this is the promotion’s plan to give the titles to Rousey and Shayna Baszler in WrestleMania. They will surely be annoyed if that’s the case.
I hope they don't do all this just to give the titles to Ronda and Shayna
