There was a time when the thought of Vincent Kennedy McMahon putting the green light on female tag straps seemed about as likely as him retiring. Fans would've laughed off the latter, but a growing swell of support for the cause meant those same peeps grumbled at the lack of Women's Tag belts.

At Elimination Chamber 2019, McMahon relented and gave the beloved Sasha Banks and Bayley combination its chance to make more history. 'The Boss N' Hug Connection' will forever be etched in company lore as the first ever Women's Tag Champs, at least when it comes to the modern incarnation of female doubles championships.

Again, Banks' cheeser of a smile told the full tale of her happiness.

This, regardless of the mess those Women's Tag belts have become (Triple H is...sort of working on that), is something nobody will ever be able to take away from her. Sasha's in the record books as a WWE original, and that has to feel pretty damn good.
