BREAKING: WWF WOMEN'S WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS THE JUMPING BOMB ANGELS UNIFY THE TITLES WITH THE WWWA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS
At the most recent All Japan Women's Pro Wrestling show in July, The Jumping Bomb Angels (Itsuki Yamazaki and Noriyo Tateno) have unified the WWF Women's World Tag Team titles with the WWWA Tag Team titles, defeating the WWWA Tag Team champions Bull Nakano and Grizzly Iwamoto and through the working relationship of both WWF and AJW, have unified the titles together. AJW would get higher stock in the use of the titles and thus, they would keep the titles. WWF would make these titles officially defunct.
