If you missed NXT 2.0 Tuesday, you missed seeing Cora Jade toss her half of the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship in a garbage bin.

The discarding of the title came as part of a storyline breakup of best friends Jade and Roxanne Perez, who had just won the tag titles from Toxic Attraction two weeks ago. Last week, however, Cora turned on Perez during her NXT Women's Championship match against Mandy Rose, ending their friendship. Tuesday, she tossed the tag title in the refuse, saying it wasn't "worth a damn thing" to her.

Shortly afterwards, Bayley weighed in:

The comment carries some extra significance when you consider that Bayley was one-half of the inaugural WWE Women's Tag Team Champions alongside Sasha Banks after the pair basically willed the titles into existence in 2019. Those titles have been treated mostly as an afterthought, save for when Bayley & Sasha held all the gold during the Pandemic Era.

In May, then-champs Sasha & Naomi walked out of WWE reportedly because they were frustrated with how they and the tag titles were being booked. WWE stripped them of the titles and immediately announced a tournament that still hasn't taken place two months later.

For Bayley, it's got to be extremely frustrating to see the set of tag titles she helped bring into reality sit on the shelf, and then see another set of women's tag titles declared worthless and literally thrown in the trash in a manner similar to how Madusa discarded the WWF Women's Championship on WCW Nitro 27 years ago.
