Natalya and Lana are yet to gain momentum as a tag team. They are still considered one of the less-valued teams for the tag division. However, they need a few wins to secure their position in the division. The Queen of Hearts and the ‘Ravishing Russian’ will make a good team with proper storylines.
As far as the winners of the match are concerned, Ruby Riott and Liv Morgan will face the Women’s Tag Team Champions Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax at the upcoming Clash of Champions 2020.
