On December 24, 2018- it was announced by Vince McMahon that there would be new WWE Women's Tag Team Championships in 2019. This was news that had the entire wrestling world delighted as the idea had been teased for several months.
In case you didn't know, there was actually WWF Women's Tag Team Championships between 1984 and 1989. The titles were won by the likes of Velvet McIntyre & Princess Victoria, as well as The Glamour Girls- before the titles were deactivated in 1989 due to unknown reasons.
With the Women's Revolution in full flow, it only makes sense to introduce these championship belts because it will give many female Superstars on both Raw and SmackDown something meaningful to do. There are so many female tag teams in the WWE right now that easily have what it takes to become the first ever Women's Tag Team Champions.
Here is a list of 3 tag teams that could achieve this feat:
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
#3 The Bella Twins
There is no doubt that The Bella Twins have had a very successful run on the main rosters so far, despite what people think of them.
Brie Bella is a former Divas Champion, whereas Nikki Bella is a two-time Divas Champion- and Nikki also holds the record of the longest run as a Divas Champion.
Individually, both women have done very well- but they have never won titles together. And now that we will see the introduction of Women's tag team titles, it is more than likely that we will see The Bella Twins be the inaugural champions.
The Bellas have had a heel turn which was executed on Ronda Rousey in order to build up Nikki's match against The Baddest Women on the Planet at WWE Evolution. Despite Nikki not winning the Raw Women's Champion, she does indeed have enough credibility due to the fact that her match against Rousey was the main event at Evolution.
We haven't seen them appear on TV in a while, but it may be because WWE wants to protect The Bella Twins- and introduce them when the time is right. The best time to bring the duo back is when the Women's Tag Team Championship belts are here in full force.
#2 The Ilconics
Before The IIconics even arrived on SmackDown, the entire world expected Billie Kay & Peyton Royce to make a huge impact on the main roster. They were two women who people thought that WWE had faith in to become huge stars.
However, we were clearly proven wrong as The IIconics have done nothing apart from being made to lose matches and put other women over. And that has been an incredible waste of their talents as both women have abilities to put on fantastic matches as seen on NXT.
But now that we're going to see new tag team titles being introduced, this is the perfect opportunity for The IIconics to make their mark.
Kay & Royce have been a tag team ever since they competed on NXT, so they have the experience and the abilities to make a name for themselves. Out of all the tag teams that could possibly be formed, there is no doubt that The IIconics deserve an opportunity at glory the most.
We've seen The IIconics cave when it has come to promos that have clearly been scripted. But in NXT, they were given the chance to have more freedom with their segments and it has shown with the believable heel interactions between Kay & Royce.
They need the chance to have more freedom on SmackDown, and if they were given that chance the sky would be the absolute limit for the two.
#1 The Boss 'n' Hug Connection
And at #1 on the list, we have none other than Sasha Banks & Bayley.
At this very moment, Banks & Bayley seem to be on the same page- which is great considering the storylines that they have had in the WWE to get to this moment. After months of Banks & Bayley not trusting each other whilst they fought and argued- it took counseling classes for the duo to make up.
And there isn't a more deserving tag team than Banks & Bayley to become the first ever Women's Tag Team Champions.
We have seen Banks win the Raw Women's Championship multiple times, but the WWE has never had faith in The Boss to have a solid, meaningful reign for the title as Charlotte Flair was constantly chosen over Banks.
As for Bayley, her main roster run had been nothing but a shambles before she officially formed The Boss 'n' Hug Connection with Banks. WWE failed to translate her NXT character onto the main roster, and it showed as Bayley's character underperformed.
Bayley's first WWE Raw Women's Championship win was a good moment, but not as great as it should've been.
And this is why Bayley & Banks deserve to be the first winners of the Women's Tag Team Championship; after the WWE Universe had constantly given up on them they still found a way to fight through all the obstacles that were thrown in their way.
Imagine the pop that they would receive for winning the titles? It would show that despite all the hardships the duo has had to face to get to this moment- it would all be worth it.
