History

Feud and formation (2022–2023)

edit

On the 15 November 2022 episode of NXT, Fyre wrestled Mandy Rose for the NXT Women's Championship in Last Woman Standing match, a rematch from Halloween Havoc, but she failed to win when a returning Dawn interfered to cost her the match.[1][2] This led to a match between Fyre and Dawn at NXT Deadline on 10 December where Dawn was victorious.[3] Fyre defeated Dawn in an Extreme Resolution match on the 3 January 2023 episode of NXT,[4] and failed to win the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship three weeks later.[5] Fyre turned heel again and joined forces with Dawn on the 31 January episode of NXT.[6] At Stand & Deliver on 1 April, Fyre and Dawn defeated Fallon Henley and Kiana James to win the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship.[7] They would retain their titles in a rematch against Henley and James on the April 11 episode of NXT and against Katana Chance and Kayden Carter on the May 1 episode of NXT.

Women's Tag Team Championship reigns (2023–present)

edit

As part of the 2023 WWE Draft, Fyre and Dawn were drafted to the SmackDown brand together.[8] Fyre and Dawn made their SmackDown debut on 19 May, defeating Valentina Feroz and Yulisa Leon.[9] On the 9 June episode of SmackDown, Fyre and Dawn were confronted by the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler, who challenged them to a unification match on the June 23 episode of SmackDown,[10] where Fyre and Dawn lost the match and were recognised as the final NXT Women's Tag Team Champions.[11] Fyre and Dawn returned on the 22 December episode of SmackDown to attack Damage CTRL during the Holiday Havoc Match.[12]

On Night 1 of the WWE Draft, both Fyre and Dawn were drafted to the Raw brand.[13] On the 27 May 2024 episode of Raw, Fyre and Dawn interfered in the title match between Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark against WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill, attacking both teams and causing the match to end in no contest.[14] On that week's episode of SmackDown, a brawl occurred between the three teams, ultimately resulting in SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis booking a triple threat tag team match for the titles at Clash at the Castle: Scotland.[15] At the event on 15 June, The Unholy Union won the titles when Dawn pinned Baszler,[16] making The Unholy Union the second female tag team to have won the WWE and NXT Women's Tag Team Championships.
