Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss will once again challenge for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship at SummerSlam, continuing their partnership rather than splitting as originally planned. This shift in Alexa Bliss WWE SummerSlam plans follows unexpected developments that caused some fan controversy, prompting WWE officials to adjust their storyline strategy to keep the popular duo united for now.
The team of Flair and Bliss first formed at the end of June on SmackDown, where they won a Triple Threat match to become the number one contenders for the titles. They competed at the Evolution II premium live event in a Fatal 4-Way but were unable to capture the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship from The Judgment Day, who successfully defended alongside teams including The Kabuki Warriors and Zaria with Sol Ruca.
SummerSlam Features Another Women’s Tag Team Title Match
At SummerSlam, Flair and Bliss are set to face reigning champions Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez in a two-on-two title contest. Early SummerSlam cards had included plans for a fifth singles match between Flair and Bliss, as noted on Wrestling Observer Radio, but recent creative decisions postponed that matchup. Instead, the tag team championship storyline is being prioritized, with officials hoping to capitalize on the team’s chemistry and popularity.
The timing of their eventual split remains uncertain. WWE’s Creative Writing Team feels Flair and Bliss are performing strongly as a duo, reducing the urgency to separate them. When the split eventually happens, it will likely lead to the singles rivalry originally planned, but for now, the emphasis is on their pursuit of tag team gold.
It is expected that a significant title change could take place at SummerSlam held at MetLife Stadium, which would mark Flair’s second reign as WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion and Bliss’s fourth. This championship shift would be a major event in the storyline, signaling a new chapter for the women’s division.
First-Time Singles Match on SmackDown Builds Anticipation
In the lead-up to SummerSlam, Friday’s SmackDown will showcase a notable first-ever singles match between Alexa Bliss and Roxanne Perez. This confrontation between WWE’s Five Feet of Fury (Bliss) and The Prodigy (Perez) is generating buzz as a dream match for fans, intensifying the feud between the two teams.
Recently, Flair defeated Raquel Rodriguez on SmackDown thanks to interference from Bliss, adding momentum to their tag team storyline. This week’s episode will be broadcast from the Rocket Arena in Cleveland, Ohio, and will feature both tag teams ringside as Bliss and Perez face off one-on-one.
Additional Matches and Storylines Kick Off SummerSlam Hype

A special segment involving Randy Orton, Jelly Roll, Logan Paul, and Drew McIntyre will also air, enhancing the excitement for their upcoming tag team match at SummerSlam.
These developments highlight WWE’s efforts to deliver a high-stakes, action-packed event at MetLife Stadium, with multiple title contests and fresh encounters making The Biggest Party of The Summer an event not to be missed.
