The WWE Women's Tag Team Championship was established on December 24, 2018. Since then, twelve reigns have occurred, with Queen Zelina and Carmella as the current holders.
The championship has not been defended since the January 3 episode of RAW. On that night, Queen Zelina and Carmella retained the gold by defeating Nikki A.S.H. and Rhea Ripley. So what has happened?
At present, there is no real depth within the women's tag team division that allows WWE to really invest in it. Since the 2021 WWE Draft, teams have been ripped apart or separated, leaving a huge void that has yet to be filled. Essentially, the current title holders have no challengers.
Where the women's tag team division is somewhat thriving on NXT 2.0 with Toxic Attraction setting the bar on the colorful brand, the main roster has failed to receive the same treatment for nearly two months now. Something has to change as it is an important division which allows more female superstars the opportunity to shine.
It's not as though the company does not have the talent, as there are a number of performers in the women's division who currently have running storylines. Teams could be formed using these talents to really give him an opportunity on television.
Right now, the women's tag team division needs a huge boost and there are current WWE Superstars on the roster who could make that happen. That being said, let's take a look at five superstars who could boost it.
#5 Ronda Rousey could boost WWE's women's tag team division
At the Elimination Chamber event, we saw Ronda Rousey team up with Naomi to take on SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair & Sonya Deville. The team of Rousey & Naomi were successful in their first tag team outing together.
Could it be that "The Baddest Woman on the Planet" will someday soon go after the Women's Tag Team Championship? She would certainly add a lot of starpower to the division and bring something new to the table.
It's an accolade she could chase after with Naomi after their triumph in Saudi Arabia. Rousey could even feel closer to home and team up with one of her real-life best friends in Shayna Baszler to chase after the gold.
Either way, Ronda's presence in the women's tag team division would certainly grab everyone's attention.
#4 Shotzi could find a partner and boost the WWE women's tag team division
Shotzi last competed on WWE SmackDown on December 17. She teamed up with Charlotte Flair as the pair were defeated by Sasha Banks and Toni Storm.
At present, "The Ballsy Badass" has no storyline direction currently on the blue brand. It would surely make sense for her to be paired with someone to provide some depth to the women's tag team division.
Whether it's a fellow SmackDown Superstar or even calling up someone from NXT 2.0, Shotzi could clearly make an impact to boost the Women's Tag Team Title picture.
#3 Nikki A.S.H. could find another Almost Superhero to team up with
Nikki A.S.H. has had quite the transformation since the summer of 2021. First becoming the Almost a Superhero gimmick, winning the RAW Women's Championship before turning on her former tag team partner Rhea Ripley months later.
A.S.H. and Ripley were Women's Tag Team Champions, but they lost the titles to Queen Zelina and Carmella. This is when the Scottish superhero snapped. Nikki could still add something to the women's tag team division, possibly finding a similar Almost a Superhero.
The former Sanity member could potentially scout RAW, SmackDown and NXT 2.0 to find the perfect person to play the role. The Almost Superheroes could then be born.
#2 Raquel González could be called up from NXT 2.0 to form a tag-team
Raquel González has been working on WWE's third brand NXT since 2017. Since then, she has won the Women's Dusty Tag Team Classic with Dakota Kai, before then becoming NXT Women's Tag Team Champion.
The powerful second generation star has all the tools to step up to the main roster's women's tag team division. She has just come out of a feud with her former tag partner and recently had a mini chase after the NXT Women's Championship.
Now could be the perfect time to strike with a call-up to help bulk up the women's tag team division. It most certainly could be the case that she is called up with someone else from NXT 2.0, perhaps Io Shirai, to help bring new faces to the WWE Universe.
#1 Aliyah could seek to go after the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship
Aliyah has broken records as a singles performer on SmackDown, but the next logical step for her would be to chase after a championship.
The SmackDown Women's Championship appears to be out of reach at the moment, so the Women's Tag Team Championship would be the best option. Aliyah is a fan favorite and would have no problem seeking out a partner for the fans to get behind too.
The Canadian-born superstar hasn't really got a major direction on SmackDown, so this could be the next stage of her evolution as a performer on the roster.
