3. Yet Another Thrown-Together Team

Triple H's new Women's Tag-Team Division is exactly the same as the old Women's Tag-Team division Vinnie Mac didn't give a toss about. WWE has been making two wrong decisions for every right one with the belts since hyping up that tournament to crown new champs.

Some context for why Shotzi has suddenly turned babyface again would've been nice. Also, why should fans get excited about Raquel Rodriguez buddying up with her to go after Damage CTRL? This is not a step up from the Aliyah stuff, and no amount of hype from Michael Cole can convince folks otherwise.

How many thrown-together, random-assed teams can one division have?!

Don't be surprised if WWE fails to answer the most pertinent questions here. Why is Shotzi baby? Why is she riding to Raquel's rescue? Why does Rodriguez even need backup when Bayley, IYO SKY and Dakota Kai are scrambling to run away when she hits the ring solo?
