WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship Match: Fatal Influence (Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid) (c) vs. Tatum Paxley & Charlotte Flair
For the second time on WWE television, Charlotte Flair will team with her new friend, Tatum Paxley, to take on Fatal Influence for the Women’s Tag Team Championship. Flair and Paxley beat Fatal Influence in their last match in September, but that was a non-title match. This is Fatal Influence’s second title defense since winning them in July. Even though Jacy Jayne isn’t in the match, she will likely be the X-factor, interfering for her team.
