I mean that shouldn't be shocking considering every women's tag team so far has had a terrible name.

- Samoan Slaughterhouse (although this one was arguably unofficial)

- Divas of Doom

- The IIconics (this probably would have been fine if Vince dropped an I and just used their NXT name instead)

- Riott Squad

- Fire N Desire

- The Boss N Hug Connection

- The Kabuki Warriors

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

I actually like Fire & Desire. And I'll give them the IIconics because I think that was down to trademarking, right? They couldn't get it with one I so they made up a word.

OFFICIAL RACIST
Full spoilers from tonight's Smackdown:

quote:

- Roman Reigns is out first to a loud mixed reaction. He introduces The Miz, who is “Wild Card-ing” onto the blue brand tonight. It isn’t long before Shane McMahon & Elias follow. McMahon bans Miz from the arena, then introduces the Planet’s Tag Team champions, Daniel Bryan & Rowan. The heel quartet attacks the Big Dog, and his cousins Jimmy & Jey make the save. The babyfaces (Miz is still here) fight them off, and the bad guys exit.

- Backstage, Shane makes a four-on-three handicap match for later tonight. If Miz gets involved, their Money in the Bank match is cancelled!

- Randy Orton promos in the ring before the Fatal 4Way. Andrade & Zelina Vega also get mic time to deliver a spoiler, El Ídolo will claim the briefcase on Sunday.

- Andrade def. Randy Orton, Ali & Finn Bálor by pinning Finn. Matty Paddock of The Independent describes it as “ladder madness”. Big moments include Orton hitting moves onto everyone on the announce desk, and Ali hitting a Spanish Fly on Andrade and splashing onto him while he was on the outside holding a ladder.

- Andrade climbs to grab one of the prop briefcases, but Ricochet shows up and grabs it instead.

- In a backstage segment, Kofi Kingston asks Xavier Woods to let him go on The KO Show and face Kevin Owens alone.

- Charlotte Flair is here. To the point segment where she vows to end her rivalry with Becky Lynch Sunday.

- Pre-taped promos from Aleister Black and Lacey Evans are shown.

- Daniel Bryan, Rowan, Elias & Shane McMahon def. Roman Reigns & The Usos after a Coast 2 Coast from Shane O’Mac on Jimmy or Jey. The Miz ran in after the bell to prevent a further beatdown

- Ember Moon & Paige deliver promos from backstage.

- Paige introduces Kairi Sane & Asuka, so we are getting the women’s tag match. Sane & Asuka will now be known as “Kabuki Warriors”. The IIconics are on commentary.

- Kabuki Warriors def. Fire & Desire when Asuka rolls up Mandy Rose

- Lars Sullivan appears on the ‘tron

- The KO Show is our main event. Kevin Owens is interviewing Kofi (who is in the ring) from backstage. Eventually Owens appears for a brawl on the ramp. Sami Zayn shows up to help his best friend/mortal enemy! Woods is out to even the odds! The good guys fend the former YEP-ers off, and Kingston stands tall to end the taping. A no DQ tag team between these four is announced for the post-205 Live dark match.

Presumably to try to pop a rating for the post-PPV Raw/Smackdown since it seems a safer assumption he'll actually show up now.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

If you want to be generous you can assume they're counting tag teams as single numbers.

I don't know why you'd feel compelled to be generous to WWE creative and detail management, though.

I hate that they put a number on it, because people will now complain about this forever each time it is more or less than four.

Also, here are a list of cool women's tag team/stable names

Absolution
Hart and Fire

And as for more lovely names
The Funkadactyls

I'm mixed on if Extreme Exposé and Pretty Mean Sisters is good or bad.

I was going to say I've always kind of associated Asuka with Kabuki but I did like thirty seconds googling and realized that her aesthetic has very little to do with Kabuki The Actual Artform and a lot more to do with another white American dude using the term questionably

The Usos established last week that they are not utilizing the Wild Card Rule to cross brands, they are doing so as a function of Roman's Yard Privileges. As such, they should not count against the cap.

Straight from Asuka herself.

It's not a great name and it most certainly came from Vince just thinking of a random Japanese word, but at least it works. :shrug:
