10 Biggest WWE Creative Mistakes Of 2019 (So Far)

4. Undermining The Women's Tag Team Titles

While understandable concerns over the women's roster's lack of depth worried some, WWE's Women's Tag Team Titles made sense in that they'd give purpose to those outwith immediate singles contention and they were introduced perfectly, with sentimental favourites Sasha Banks and Bayley triumphing in an Elimination Chamber far better than it had any right to be (Nia Jax and Tamina were in it, for crying out loud).

The Boss 'n' Hug Connection's early run was promising. They spoke of taking the straps to Raw, SmackDown, and NXT. All kinds of exciting feuds and matches beckoned, and if you believe the reports that followed Banks' post-WrestleMania walkout, they were promised.

The belts have gone to the hell since The IIconics took them at the 'Show Of Shows,' though. Peyton Royce and Billie Kay are lucky if they make television most weeks, mounting just one successful defence since triumphing on 7 April. Rather than using the run to enhance The IIconics, WWE have used it to undermine the straps, diminishing their importance to the point where they may as well cease to exist, with Kay and Royce every bit as jobberiffic as they were a few months ago.
