Now, she has turned her focus to the tag team scene, teaming up with fellow former Women’s World Champion IYO SKY. Together, they are pursuing the coveted Women’s Tag Team Championships, inevitably drawing the ire of the current titleholders, The Kabuki Warriors.
On a recent episode of WWE RAW, as Rhea and IYO made their way to the ring, they were ambushed by the reigning champions. Asuka made a dramatic entrance, surprising Rhea with the infamous poison mist, leaving her incapacitated on the ringside.
