10 New Directions After WWE Survivor Series 2022: WarGames

7. Ronda & Shayna = Women’s Tag Champs?

There are Sasha Banks and Bayley vibes to Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler. Both have the makings of a duo who could end up ruling the entire women’s division for a while, and why not? It's hardly like Triple H knows who to feed Ronda next.

WWE’s problem with Rousey has been setting up realistic challengers for her. Shotzi was the latest example of one that failed to hit with fans, so a run at the Women’s Tag Titles could be the tonic for Ronda and Shayna in the lead-up to WrestleMania. Again, there’s really no credible challenger for Rousey anyway.

Look out, Damage CTRL.

It'd be nice if Baszler became more than just a lackey who takes hits for Ronda so she wins though. They need to be akin to Triple H and Steve Austin - a real 'Two Woman Power Trip' who dominate SmackDown and elevate others over on Raw as tag partners.
