WWE has made it officialRhea Ripley and IYO SKY are now recognized as a full-fledged tag team under the name RHIYO, following their shocking win on last weeks Monday Night Raw.
The duo captured the WWE Womens Tag Team Championship by defeating the Kabuki Warriors in an unexpected pairing that had only been loosely acknowledged on-screen. While fans may have picked up on them referring to themselves as RHIYO since last year, WWE had not officially recognized the monikeruntil now.
After last weeks Raw, the champions were still listed separately on WWEs roster page. But as of today, thats changed. WWEs website now lists the duo under one name: RHIYOin all caps, confirming the branding as official.
RHIYO will defend their newly won titles on Saturday Nights Main Event, set for January 24. Their opponents? Judgment Days Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez, who secured their title opportunity after winning a number one contenders match on Raw in Dsseldorf, Germany.
This marks a major evolution in WWEs womens tag division, as the pairing of Ripley and SKYtwo of WWEs most dominant solo forcesadds star power and unpredictability to the division.
Will RHIYOs dominance continue past their first title defense, or will Liv and Roxanne shock the world? Only time will tell.
