12 Exact Moments WWE Titles Became Worthless
8. Random Teams Blight Women’s Tag Hunt
It was a matter of when not if for the Women's Tag-Team Titles showing up here. Arguably, they haven't been of real importance since Bayley and Sasha Banks first won them back in 2019. That might be slightly unfair, but it wasn't long until WWE lost interest and started throwing any creative stragglers they could think of towards the titles in vague hopes they'd catch on and make something of them.
Random pairing Nia Jax and Shayna Bazler beat Bayley and Banks at Payback 2020, for example, but they’re just the tip of the iceberg. Yes, there have been some nice moments for the belts since; Natalya and Tamina winning in 2021 was sweet, and the union Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill formed had star power for days. However, the sheer number of thrown together duos to win the titles is borderline impressive from a 'creative has nothing else for you' standpoint.
Rhea Ripley and Nikki A.S.H, Zelina Vega and Carmella, Asuka and Charlotte Flair, the aforementioned Jax and Baszler, Raquel Rodriguez and Aliyah. The list goes on. It’s been a struggle to care about the titles since Bayley and Sasha’s second reign ended in 2020, let's be real about it. Then, by the time Banks and Naomi had dumped the titles off before walking out in 2022, fans had made up their minds.
People want some sort of cohesion between teammates. Ripley and A.S.H, Asuka and Flair, and Raquel and Aliyah? Nah, none of them had that. They were only tied together by loose threads, and WWE didn't even bother to tell stories of developing friendships that hooked viewers.
Those Women's Tag belts are the lowest of the low in terms of audience interest.
