4. Just A Tag Match

In theory, fans should be happy that WWE has seen fit to give Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn TV time to showcase their abilities and establish credibility as Women’s Tag Team Champions.

However, that notion only works if the matches are good and the wrestlers actually connect with the crowd. Otherwise, it’s just a piss break match. Sadly, their contest against the TikTok Twins (Kayden Carter and Katana Chance) fell into the latter category. The match was gobbled up by an ad break. What viewers did see was extremely basic, heatless and served more as angle advancement.

Damage CTRL running out to beat up both teams afterward was meant to reestablish the stable as a threat to the women’s division, but it instead made the group look stale, just running out and attacking four women to stake a claim to the titles they did little of note with the first time. If that’s the plan to heat up the women’s tag division, WWE might want to go back to the drawing board and not come out until they write “Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill.”
