#2 Making women tag team matches less predictable

This has more to do with events of both the last week and this week. We finally got new challengers for Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross in the form of Carmella & Dana Brooke. It was a fresh feud and WWE could've gone whichever way they wanted with this.

However, Dana Brooke had a Money in the Bank qualifier match which she won. That was the first giveaway. This week, before the eventual match for the Women Tag Team Championships, it was revealed that Carmella too would be taking part in a MITB qualifier next week. That was the second and final giveaway which more or less made it clear that Alexa & Nikki were going to retain their titles.

If you have two Superstars who are eventually going to be involved in singles competition in the near future, it obviously signals that the tag titles are unlikely to be put on them which was the case for the challengers this week.

Yes, the match that the four women put up was a decent one. But not making the result of the said match so apparent would've definitely helped in keeping the intrigue going which eventually wasn't the case. The women's tag division isn't really soaring high right now and predictable match results are the last thing we need.
