Weirdly, Sasha Banks and Bayley are sorta' in the same boat despite just becoming the first WWE Women's Tag-Team Champions at Elimination Chamber. Their Fastlane snore with Tamina and Nia Jax did nothing to sell the excitement of this new division, and it left this guy feeling a bit hollow.

The IIconics sent out a challenge to the champs on the Kickoff show, then both Beth Phoenix and Natalya got involved with Tamina and Nia Jax. This clues us in on a few things: firstly, Peyton Royce and Billie Kay may have a spot beyond the humdrum Women's Battle Royal. Secondly, Tamina and Jax might have a throwaway tag on the card with Phoenix and Nattie.

Where does that leave The Boss N' Hug Connection? Well, we smell a multi-team affair at 'Mania, and really think a four-way match for the belts is the most realistic proposition. That does give everyone a spot on the show, but it doesn't feel as satisfying as Sasha and Bayley vs. Trish Stratus and Lita (for example) would.
