10 Times WWE Totally BOTCHED A New Title
4. WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship
This currently active title shouldn’t really be a surprise to anyone who’s paid attention.
When WWE finally created the Women’s Tag Team Championship, it was a dream come true for Bayley and Sasha Banks, who basically willed them into existence. Fittingly, the duo won the inaugural title match at Elimination Chamber 2019 in a titular match…
...and then lost them seven weeks later at
WrestleMania 35 to the IIconics.
That’s not meant to be a knock on Billie Kay and Peyton Royce themselves, but the Aussie tag team weren’t known for their in-ring prowess, and worse, they almost immediately disappeared from WWE programming (as did Sasha, who went on hiatus for a few months), and with them, so did the championship’s credibility.
The women’s tag titles have been little more than a prop during most of their four-year existence, with makeshift teams holding the straps more often than not, and there never being a consistent focus on the women’s tag division.
Sure, they’ll have their moment periodically on television, but this championship was horribly botched shortly after its debut and suffered as a result.
