11. News Flash: Tag Partners In Disarray

Shayna Baszler Mandy Rose

Oh look, it’s another Raw tag team that can’t get along.

No, not Hurt Business. It’s Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler. Again. Remind us again why they’re still a duo? They won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship and seemed to finally start clicking, but just as Royal Rumble season heated up, they began bickering again. And now, three (three!) segments were dedicated to driving home the point that Baszler and Jax can’t necessarily get along.

And to make it worse, we got to see the never-ending saga between the duo and Mandy Rose & Dana Brooke, with Mandy falling to Shayna in short order. Again.

Oh, and don’t worry, if tag partners feuding is your thing, WWE threw in a disagreement between Elias and Jaxson Ryker to sweeten the pot.
