The opening match on WWE Raw saw the new Women’s Tag Team Champions Becky Lynch and Women’s Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria defend the titles in a rematch against Judgment Day’s Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez.
Just 24-hours after the winning the titles at WrestleMania 41 Sunday, the returning Lynch and Valkyria were defeated by Morgan and Rodriguez, as the ladies of the Judgment Day are once again the Women’s Tag Team Champions.
Morgan hit Valkyria with Ob-Liv-ion, spiking her on her head, to get the victory. After the match, Lynch who was upset, checked on Valkyria. Lynch helped her up and hugged her and then attacked with a clothesline and three Manhandle Slams.
