CM Punk Screws Drew McIntyre, Top Takeaways From WWE Clash at the Castle 2024 Results | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

The Unholy Union's Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn struck gold Saturday, becoming the new women's tag team champions by defeating the team of Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair, as well as Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark in a Triple Threat Match.

The match rules allowed the outcome without Cargill or Belair eating the pinfall, a necessity in protecting those competitors' seemingly unbeatable auras.

More importantly, it represented a necessary step in Triple H and WWE Creative's attempt to evolve the women's tag team division.

For years, the tag titles have been little more than props in ongoing storylines, traded between duos made up of individual stars in an attempt to further narratives rather than creating legitimate competition and a division fans could invest in.

The first step in righting that wrong was the introduction of a babyface tandem that can carry the division, which we have in Belair and Cargill.

So dominant is that team, though, that one of two things was bound to happen: the fans would grow tired of watching them beat up everyone turn on them or they would run out of credible opposition and find themselves in the same position as every set of champions before them.

Saturday, Fyre and Dawn capitalized on the rules of the match, biding their time until they saw an opening and took it, becoming champions and basking in the adulation of their fellow countrypeople.

Now, WWE has the opportunity to legitimize Unholy Union, reminding fans of their success in NXT and presenting them as a threat to Belair and Cargill in a way no other opponent has been.

Damage CTRL's Asuka and Kairi Sane attempted to use experience to best them and it did not work. Baszler and Stark tried power and technique and failed. Fyre and Dawn can use their minds, outthinking their physically superior opponents and getting the best of them in several situations before eventually dropping the belts back to them.

The division has long needed an actual rivalry that it can be built around, rather than a series of matches or short-term programs that do nothing for anyone involved, least of all the titles themselves.

If Triple H is genuinely interested in building the division, not just booking the outcome to generate a hometown pop, The Unholy Union was a great choice to become a foundational piece of the division's rebuild.
