#4 Have a better plan for Women's Tag titles

It was a great idea but the booking hasn't exactly been even for the newest titles in WWE.

Introducing the Women's Tag Team titles was one of the responses from the WWE to its declining ratings at the end of 2018. Things needed to change fast and WWE had its deepest roster ever. The women in WWE are among the most talented that they've ever been, but they only had two titles to gun for.

Since NXT acted as a third brand as well as developmental, it allowed bonds to form and natural teams to be created. Sasha Banks and Bayley fought with and against each other to form their bond. The IIconics have been friends that have wrestled together for most of their careers.

It made sense to introduce a secondary title for the women to chase, so the Women's Tag titles were created. While Bayley and Banks became the first Champions, they only had one defense before dropping them at WrestleMania 35. Previously, they had gone to NXT to declare that the belts would be defended on all of WWE's brands.

After the IIconics won the titles at 'Mania, they only appeared in backstage segments or WWE Network exclusives. They did defend the titles albeit against "local talent". They lost the titles on the go-home RAW before SummerSlam.

The new Champs have already had more air time than Billie Kay and Peyton Royce did. Whatever the reason was, the titles weren't represented equally since their inception, and doing so would have provided a smoother ride for the female tag teams vying for the titles.
