Michin & B-Fab Win WWE Women’s Tag Titles On SmackDown

Michin and B-Fab are WWE champions for the first time in their careers after dethroning Alexa Bliss and Tatum Paxley for the Women’s Tag Team Championship on SmackDown. The win brings an abrupt end to Bliss and Paxley’s reign, which lasted just two weeks before the titles changed hands.

For both Michin and B-Fab, it’s a long-awaited breakthrough. Neither had won gold at any point during their respective runs on the WWE main roster, despite both being fixtures of the SmackDown women’s division for years. Michin, a steady hand known for her intensity and underdog appeal, has bounced around various factions and storylines without a title to show for it. B-Fab, who built her name through her work with the Hit Row stable, has similarly spent her WWE tenure title-less until now — making this victory a meaningful career milestone for both women.

The title change also shines a light on just how stacked WWE’s roster is with talented performers still chasing their first championship. Names like Ivy Nile and Jordynne Grace — two of the most athletically gifted stars on the roster — remain without gold, with speculation continuing to swirl about a potential pairing between the two that could finally change that. Newer arrivals like Je’von Evans, Royce Keys and Jaida Parker, all considered future stars by many fans and analysts, are also still searching for their first reign, though their relative youth means there’s little urgency in their cases.

Elsewhere, teams like Bronco Nima and Lucien Price, now aligned with Raw’s 946 faction, and Shinsuke Nakamura’s partnership with Kyoki as Bakusai, look like strong candidates to end their own title droughts in the near future given their current pushes and championship-adjacent storylines.

For Michin and B-Fab specifically, the bigger question now becomes how long they can hold onto the titles and who steps up as their first challengers. The SmackDown women’s tag division has been in flux for much of the year, and a fresh team at the top could open the door for new contenders to emerge, whether that’s a returning veteran duo or an unexpected pairing built organically out of recent storylines.

It’s also worth watching how Bliss and Paxley respond to such a short title reign. Two weeks is a brisk turnaround even by WWE’s often fast-paced championship scene standards, and it raises questions about what’s next for that pairing — whether they get an immediate rematch or pivot toward other programs on SmackDown.

For now, though, the spotlight belongs to Michin and B-Fab, who can finally call themselves WWE champions after years of coming up short. It’s a feel-good moment in a division that’s had its share of unpredictable turns, and one that could set the tone for how SmackDown’s tag team picture shapes up heading into the final stretch of the year.
