5 theories as to why Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross won the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship

#2 The WWE women's tag team division needed a drastic overhaul

Regardless of how you might feel about the current state of the women's division in WWE, the reality is that Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross were the only two women in this week's Raw Fatal Four way match that had a storyline on WWE TV.

As noted, The Kabuki Warriors has been largely absent from WWE TV, and have been involved in virtually no storylines thus far into 2019.

With regards to Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville, the two are used somewhat regularly on WWE TV, but also have had no meaningful feuds or storylines in recent memory.

Finally, The IIconics, who were oddly enough the defending champions heading into Raw this week, have had no consistent storylines or feuds on WWE TV in the past couple months, making the Women's Tag Team Championships a virtual afterthought.

With Bliss and Cross winning this week, there can be a renewed focus on the titles and the women's tag team division.
