Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky successfully defended their WWE SmackDown Women's Tag Team Championships against Nia Jax and Lash Legend in a high-stakes match at Friday's Louisville event. The bout, part of the buildup to WWE Elimination Chamber, saw the reigning champions overcome the formidable duo in a contest that underscored the ongoing rivalry between the factions.

Earlier, Uncle Howdy defeated Solo Sikoa but the MFTs reclaimed the Wyatt Sicks' lantern, adding another layer to the narrative leading into the pay-per-view. These results set the stage for potential WrestleMania implications as Elimination Chamber approaches.
