5 Things that must happen at WWE Starrcade 2019 and 5 that mustn't

#4 Must not happen: Women’s Tag Team titles change hands

The Kabuki Warriors should walk out as the Champions

Asuka and Kairi Sane are set to defend their Women’s Tag Team Champions against three other teams – Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks and Bayley, and Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss.

With Asuka’s budding rivalry with Charlotte, her bout with ‘The Queen’ is bound to be entertaining. But the reigning Champions also share history with other Superstars who will be present inside the ring.

For starters, Bliss and Cross will be keen on getting their titles, which they lost to The Kabuki Warriors, back. Banks and Bayley, the first-ever Women’s Tag Team Champions, would also look to get their hands on gold. As for Lynch, she doesn’t really have a fresh contender for her Championship. So, her move to the Tag Team division is justified owing to her limited use in singles competition.

Despite the aforementioned reasons, Asuka and Sane must retain their titles. The Champions need to be dominant and attract more attention to the Women’s Tag Team division.

Two out of the four teams in this match will eventually fall out. Hence, it’s better if The Kabuki Warriors win the match and go on to feud with Bliss and Cross in order to keep their titles relevant.
