4 NXT tag teams who could challenge Sasha Banks and Bayley

The WWE finally gave fans what they've been begging for, and crowned new (not first ever, like they have been saying), WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, and in such a short time, Bayley and Sasha Banks have made the titles important. They've challenged teams from all over the WWE, even appearing at an NXT taping and live event, and it's safe to say that we have plenty of exciting matchups ahead of us.

On the main roster, Riott Squad, The IIconics, Nia and Tamina and other tag teams are chasing the gold, but the new Champs have appeared in NXT, and that signals that truly anyone in the WWE can challenge for these fresh, new Championships.

So today that's what we are going to look at, 4 tag teams from WWE's developmental territory that we can't wait to see step in the ring with the Boss 'N Hug Connection in the near future.

#4 The Four Horsewomen (Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke)

Despite only being on TV to back up Shayna Baszler a short time, Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir are arguably the most established team on this list, and being the biggest female heels in NXT, this one obviously makes sense.

Sure, it's not as exciting as the top two potential bouts on this list, but in terms of story (Four Horsewomen vs. Four Horsewomen), this one certainly makes the most sense.

The new Champions have yet to make a formal challenge to anyone in NXT, but given that these two don't have anything to do at NXT Takeover: New York, this one could become a reality quite quickly.

Unfortunately, both of these women are still quite young in wrestling, and the management down in NXT might not trust them on a stage like that yet, but if you want to throw them in the deep end and see how they swim, there's no better duo to do it against than Sasha Banks and Bayley.

#3 RnR (Rhea Ripley and Reina Gonzalez)

Out of all 4 teams on this list, this is likely the most unknown, but if you follow either Rhea Ripley or Reina Gonzalez on social media, you'd understand how close the two are, and that they team at NXT live events constantly. They are both physically dominating, which makes it a very interesting matchup for Sasha Banks and Bayley, and it's one that should happen very soon.

As we mentioned, they aren't big names like our next two teams, so it's unlikely that a challenge would take place on a big stage, but if they were to get this match, RnR would surprise a lot of people.

Both are young in their wrestling careers and have very bright futures ahead of them, so it may not happen anytime soon, but once these two develop further, they'll both be big stars in the women's singles or tag team division.

#2 Kairi Sane and Io Shirai

Kairi Sane and Io Shirai have been enemies and friends in their home promotion of Stardom, but when they work together, there's hardly a more dynamic and exciting pairing in all of women's wrestling. The Genius of The Skies and The Pirate Princess have been teaming sporadically on NXT TV as of late, and in terms of the most exciting match that could happen right now, this is it.

Just yesterday at an NXT live event, Sasha and Bayley saved these two from a 4-on-2 assault, and it's becoming clear that WWE realise just how great a match between these 4 superstars would be.

It's only a matter of time until Sane is with the WWE main roster, so the WWE should look to book this match sooner, rather than later, so look for this one to take place shortly after WrestleMania (if not involve all 4 in a multi-woman tag at WrestleMania, which is also a big possibility).

#1 Team FlyKick (Dakota Kai and Tegan Nox)

This one is a very exciting matchup on paper, but unfortunately, right now, both Dakota Kai and Tegan Nox are sidelined with devastating knee injuries, but when they return, this should be their #1 priority. The very exciting, tie-dye wearing pair are best friends in real life, and have been teaming together on the NXT live circuit for a number of months prior to those injuries, and are one of the most established tag teams in NXT.

Sure, Duke and Shafir have been friends and teammates for longer, but in terms of in-ring ability, they don't hold a candle to Nox and Kai, who have both openly admitted their desires to challenging for these brand new belts.

It may be the end of 2019 before we see the Wales-New Zealand combo back in a ring together, and Bayley and Sasha may not hold that gold by then, but when they are back and at full health, they should be considered top challengers to those Tag Team Championships.
