When Bliss initially took Cross under her wing, many expected the former multiple time WWE.

WWE hasn't done as much as many fans hoped to make the women's tag team division seem like a big deal, but Asuka and Sane have consistently been a big part of Raw, while Bliss and Cross have been together as a team for much of the past year as well. Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross have really come into their own as a tag team over the last several months. The unrelenting combination of Five Feet of Fury and The Monster Among Men will spell trouble for any opponents who dare to step into the ring with them. She is signed to WWE, where she performs on the Raw brand under the ring name Alexa Bliss. The first unlikely tandem to be announced for WWE Mixed Match Challenge is the destructive pairing of Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss and Braun Strowman. Since there were no obvious challengers available to The Kabuki Warriors on Raw, it made sense for them to accept the challenge laid out by Bliss and Cross, and make the leap across brands. Alexis Joann-Louise Kaufman is an American professional wrestler.

After The Empress of Tomorrow fell short in a couple of attempts to win the title from The Man, the focus shifted back toward the women's tag team division. That led to Asuka and Lynch engaging in a singles feud over the Raw Women's Championship. While the title defenses have been few and far between for Asuka and Sane, they did beat the team of Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair at December's TLC pay-per-view in a Tables, Ladders & Chairs match to retain. The team of Bliss and Cross beat The IIconics for the belts last year, but they dropped them to The Kabuki Warriors just two months later, and they continued to hold them for more than 170 days entering WrestleMania.
