8 Reasons Why WWE Women’s Tag Division Has Failed
1. No Depth
The IIconics. Mickie James. Ruby Riott. Sara Logan. Chelsea
Green. Lana. Ember Moon. Eva Marie. Nia Jax. Tegan Nox. Kairi Sane.
These are just a sampling of the women released from WWE during the past two years. We’re not even getting into the NXT wrestlers cut loose, many of whom – such as Dakota Kai, Franky Monet, Mia Yim, Deonna Purrazzo and Santana Garrett – could have paid immediate dividends on the main roster.
We bring these names up because the vast majority of these women could have filled out a tag division and made for a more robust roster of wrestlers to compete for the titles. Right now, you only have two dedicated tag teams, which means WWE is going to have to have throw together a few more pairs to fill out a tournament. Once the new champs are crowned, you can bank on most of those tandems dissolving.
Without an actual division, without actual stories, without PPV/PLE builds, the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship is little more than an accessory for two women superstars to wear. And if the company is going to throw its champs – who have made an earnest effort to make the titles mean something – under the bus, then you really shouldn’t get invested or buy what they’re selling right now.
