"Didn't care" would cover WWE's attitude towards the Women's Tag Titles too.

It's scary to think that these belts have only existed since last December and the first champs were only crowned in February. When Sasha Banks and Bayley proudly held them aloft at Elimination Chamber, it legit seemed like women's wrestling was taking another step forwards in the promotion. Ha, so much for that.

Creative switched the titles to The IIconics at 'Mania, then proceeded to do absolutely nothing with Billie Kay and Peyton Royce despite their heel personalities being perfect for the role. They rarely appeared on TV, were treated like jobbers when they did, and quietly dropped the straps to the thrown-together team of Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross in August.

They then did the same in October for The Kabuki Warriors, and that was another low point in a depressing first year for titles that promised so much. WWE can't hide behind any excuses for the way they've overlooked the belts, especially when The IIconics held them.
