There are new number one contenders for the WWE World Tag Team Championship.

Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Del Toro of the LWO won a triple threat number one contender’s bout on Monday’s WWE Raw to earn the right to be the next challengers for the World Tag Team Championship.

Wilde pinned Kofi Kingston of The New Day in Monday’s contest to cement the LWO as next in line to face The Judgment Day’s Finn Balor and JD McDonagh for the Tag titles.

No date has been set for the title match, with the two-night SummerSlam on August 2 and August 3, or an upcoming episode of Raw both possibilities.

Balor and McDonagh defeated The New Day for the titles on the June 30 Raw to kick off the duo’s second reign with Raw’s Tag titles. Balor also has two prior WWE Tag title reigns to his credit alongside former Judgment Day member Damian Preist.

The build to SummerSlam continued on Monday’s Raw, with our full report from the show available here.

The New Day are once again Tag Team Champions in WWE.

The New Day duo of Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods defeated Erik and Ivar of The War Raiders at WrestleMania 41 on Saturday night in Las Vegas to become the new World Tag Team Champions.

The victory marks the first Tag title reign for New Day since their December 2024 heel turn, and their thirteenth overall Tag Team title reign in WWE, including 12 reigns with various iterations of the titles on the main roster, plus an NXT Tag title reign.

Woods pinned Ivar for the finish of the bout, with Kingston holding Ivar’s leg down out of sight of the referee in a variation of the finish to the Rick Rude vs. Ultimate Warrior WrestleMania 5 bout.

The New Day vs. The War Raiders went on second on night one of WrestleMania 41 on Saturday, and featured the second title change in as many bouts, as Jey Uso defeated Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship in the opener.
