3 reasons why the Riott Squad should win the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship

The Riott Squad defeated Natalya and Dana Brooke on the RAW after Royal Rumble to qualify for the 6-team Elimination Chamber match to determine the first-ever Women’s Tag-Team Champions.

Fans of the Riott Squad will be curious to see how Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan are booked in the actual match; put differently, it’d be interesting to see if the heel faction which has constantly been used to put over baby-faces throughout 2018 will be booked prominently, or will again suffer with the spotlight being put on bigger and more popular stars.

#3 They are a truly cohesive unit with great potential

Ruby Riott and her squad have consistently been the only true cohesive unit in the women’s division. While most squads at the Elimination Chamber have been put together recently for the championship, this squad have been together since making their debut in November 2017.

The cohesiveness for instance was on full display at the Royal Rumble, as Morgan and Logan accompanied Ruby Riott to the ring, and helped her take out a bunch of women, all along putting on an exceptional act, and being believable baddies.

Often it’s hard to believe best friend narratives in WWE. For instance, in Bayley and Banks’ case, fans always see an inevitable explosion in sight, while Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville have had their differences. But the Riott Squad hasn’t shown any cracks even when they have lost.

This fact should be played out leading into the match. And should be a key reason for the Riott Squad to go over the 5 other competing teams.

The Riott Squad has Shield-like tendencies which WWE should be wise to portray on-screen; and what better start than to put the tag titles on two of its members.

#2 A win could mean resurgence, a loss could mean irrelevance

Morgan and Logan need the championship most desperately

Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville (with Paige) made their main-roster debuts in approximately the same time as the Riott Squad. The former of the teams have been in some interesting feuds, & most recently Rose’s enmity with Naomi has been given ample TV time.

On the other hand, Morgan and Logan haven't had strong storyline developments to back their performances. While WWE has trusted them to put on strong shows even against a returning Bella Twins or any other randomly put together team, they have always been made to fall short.

Pro wrestling may not depend on wins and losses, but a wrestler or a faction needs wins to be credible, and the Riott Squad have already lost a lot. Among all the teams competing, Morgan and Logan need the championship most desperately, and WWE should pull the trigger on Morgan and Logan when there’s still a chance.

#1 Criminally underrated workers

The WWE Women's Tag Team Championship

All three members of the squad are exceptional workers. You can’t debate that fact. The unit has proven this over the last 12-15 months with consistent performances against anybody in the division, putting up an exceptional heel act.

Ruby Riott especially has been one of the biggest WWE finds in recent memory, as she has proven herself to be a star in the making, and a future women’s champion.

Morgan and Logan have done a really neat job as well, without much spotlight. They are criminally underrated between the ropes, and are certainly able to put on strong performances. That was why the Bella Twins (not the most exceptional in-ring workers) were paired with them by the management .

This team have the talent to be the next mega stars, therefore it is time the WWE recognizes this and rewards them. Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan should walk away from the Elimination Chamber as the new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.
