On the December 24, 2018 episode of Monday Night RAW, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon announced the inception of the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. Since its introduction, there have been eleven different title reigns, including current champions Nikki A.S.H. and Rhea Ripley.

When the 2021 WWE Draft came about at the start of October, multiple teams in WWE's women's tag team division were split. This left a huge void and left the current champions with a lack of challengers. Although the titles can be defended across both RAW and SmackDown, eligible challengers are only able to compete on their respective brands.

That being said, let's take a look at ten superstars from WWE's women's division who could unite to challenge for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.


#5 Natalya and Naomi could challenge for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship

Who better to unite than two of WWE's veteran superstars? Natalya and Naomi have been through so much together, not only in the ring, but also outside the ring. Their lives have also been a focus of reality show, Total Divas. Both superstars are currently on SmackDown and could fill the void in the women's tag team division.

Natalya's tag team partner, Tamina, was drafted, leaving her without a partner. Naomi is currently embroiled in a storyline with WWE Official, Sonya Deville. At some stage, Naomi is going to need some back-up if Sonya's abusive reign continues. It could then be that the two unite and decide that they gel as a tag team and chase championship gold.

In 2019, Natalya spoke of her praise for former SmackDown Women's Champion Naomi:

"One of the most underrated performers that we have, somebody’s that is so talented. I watch her, and she’s just so gifted. She can do things that no other girls can do." (h/t Wrestling-World)

The pair no doubt have huge respect for each other and could certainly be a force to challenge Nikki A.S.H. and Rhea Ripley. It would give them something meaningful to do and make a real impact, especially with WrestleMania looming closer. The WWE Universe would certainly get behind them and show their admiration for two of the best performers in WWE history.

The pair did have a run as tag team partners during a series of house shows in 2019. Now could be the time for them to step up on television.

#4 Eva Marie and Carmella could challenge for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship

Could you picture this glamorous tag team in the WWE women's tag team division? Eva Marie needs a new direction that does not involve Doudrop. "The Most Beautiful Woman in All of WWE," Carmella is a fresh face on the red brand.

The pair could easily get under the skin of the WWE Universe, but also become viable challengers for the championship. They are essentially the perfect match for each other, and could make a serious stamp in the women's tag team division.


#3 Aliyah and Xia Li could challenge for WWE Women's Tag Team Championship

Xia Li and Aliyah were drafted to SmackDown during the 2021 WWE Draft. At present, it hasn't been determined what direction the two superstars will be going in. The two could add some international flavor to the women's tag team division and really make a name for themselves.

The two ladies will be chomping at the bit to grab ahold of any opportunity that comes their way. Teaming up together could be the start of their journey on the main roster.

#2 Mia Yim and Tegan Nox could challenge for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship

When Tegan Nox and Shotzi split in the 2021 WWE Draft, it brought disappointment to the WWE Universe. The pair were great together, and it seemed like, at some stage, they would really get going as a team. Sadly, that isn't the case.

Tegan Nox is now on her own RAW, but could seek out fellow RAW superstar Mia Yim as her new tag team partner. Nox and Yim are no strangers to each other, after teaming together at NXT TakeOver: In Your House in 2020. Both need some direction, and being placed together in the women's tag team division could be their next move.


#1 Shotzi and Scarlett could challenge for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship

Shotzi remains on SmackDown without Tegan Nox, but she could call on her real-life friend Scarlett to step in. Scarlett has yet to debut on the WWE main roster. She was by Karrion Kross' side throughout his run on NXT, but hasn't been paired with him on RAW.

Scarlett is a talented performer and could now be partnered with Shotzi. The pair are known for their antics outside of the ring, including recently making their own music video. They would make the perfect tag team to challenge for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.
