The Kabuki Warriors are back and they are heading to WWE Evolution.

After Kairi Sane squeaked out a victory over Roxanne Perez Monday Night on Raw, the Pirate Princess found herself on the wrong side of a 2-on-1 assault at the hands of Perez and Raquel Rodriguez.

The WWE Women's Tag Team Champions would not have the upper hand for long, however, as Sane's longtime tag team partner Asuka rushed the ring to save the day.

The Empress of Tomorrow pounded away at both Rodriguez and Perez with her trademark strikes, allowing Sane enough to recover and join back in the fray. After dumping Raquel to the outside with the Empress Impact, Asuka would hold Perez in place for Kairi's Insane Elbow.

The reunited Kabuki Warriors would later ask Raw GM Adam Pearce for a chance to finally end things with the Judgment Day, and he granted them the final spot in the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Fatal 4-Way at Evolution.

The two-time Women's Tag Team Champions join Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss and Sol Ruca & Zaria - who were announced as the NXT representatives in the match Monday night - in challenging Rodriguez & Perez this Sunday in Atlanta.
