Kayden Carter and Katana Chance discuss winning the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.
On the December 18 episode of WWE Raw, Katana Chance and Kayden Carter beat Chelsea Green and Piper Niven to win the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. In doing so, they captured their first championships on the main roster following a long run in NXT.
Speaking on WWE's The Bump, Katana Chance and Kayden Carter discussed their title win. They were asked to describe the most memorable moment about their victory.
"I guess for me, it’s just knowing that everything and how long we’ve been together, and really wanting, like a dream for us. If we find this video from way back when, it’s years and years ago, it was a YouTube video that we did at the PC. It was like, ‘What do you want to do?’ We’re like, ‘We want to be the first-ever NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions.’ It was just like, we want to be a tag team together, and all this other stuff. That night solidified everything we’ve ever dreamed of, and it finally turned into reality for us. That for me, the win itself, with her, was everything, for the last four or five years that we’ve been talking about together. So that great," Carter said.
Chance described how the win marked the biggest night of their lives. She also highlighted how the support of their peers meant a lot to her, as it showed that others had seen the journey the duo had been on.
"It’s been such a long journey for her together as a tag team, all the goals we wanted to achieve, and we’ve done a lot so far, but this is by far was the biggest night of our lives. For me, the moment of the three count and then hearing the place erupt, you just can’t describe it. I’m feeling all weird inside thinking about it. It’s the best feeling in the world. On top of that, going backstage and seeing how your peers are happy for you, that means the world to us, the people that are like, ‘Congratulations, you’ve earned this, you’ve worked so hard.’ It’s like man, people see the journey. You don’t always know that, but they do," Chance said.
Carter also noted that no one could ever understand everything they had been through, and she blacked out when the referee counted the pin. She explained how she has dealt with doubt in the past, but that made the win even more special.
"It’s amazing. We’ve been through our ups and downs. Words can't describe it, but being able to, that one, two, three, I blacked out. It didn’t feel real. I was like, is this real? Is this a dream? I think for me, it’s just super [inaudible]. No one can understand all the stuff that we’ve been through, especially if one of us is like, ‘I don’t think we’re gonna make it,’ and she’s like, ‘No, we are.’ Then she’s like, ‘We are gonna make it,’ and I’m like, ‘No, we’re not.’ It’s just back and forth with that banter. No one can really ever understand what we’ve been through together, so that’s why it’s so special to me," Chance said.
