WWE Backstage (June 9th, 2020) - 6 Takeaways from this week's show

#4 The WWE Women's Tag Team Championships

The new Champs!

Sasha Banks and Bayley shockingly won the WWE Women's Tag Team titles last week on SmackDown with a win over Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross. Of the move, Ember Moon claimed that she didn't think it was the right step because Sasha and Bayley didn't really sell themselves. Because of that, Moon thinks that "It doesn't elevate their story, but it devalues the tag team title match (that was being alluded to between Bliss & Cross and IIconics at Backlash)."

Paige added that: "The Tag Team Championships haven't been used to their full potential. They're not being defended right or used right and not being taken very seriously. At some point, they need to be taken seriously." She explained her thought by reasoning: "It's such a big moment for the women and we could utilize all the tag teams we have. Bayley and Sasha are good but let's try and build some other people."

Beth Phoenix gave her two cents on tag team wrestling in WWE's women's division saying: "I echo some of those sentiments but I'm also a fan of tag team wrestling. It is a disservice to have so many talented females booked on a show with only so many spots." She ended by saying, "I hope it changes and we get some steam behind the titles." Renee Young concluded this discussion on WWE Backstage by saying that "It would be nice to see some other women step in there (tag team picture)."
