There is no perfect division or title picture in wrestling. There is always something that could be done to improve it in the short term and in the long term. The WWE Women’s Tag Team division has been underutilized for a long time and here are some things that would help them improve.
The State of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Division
The women’s tag team division in WWE is in a bad spot right now, and I don’t think that it is the women’s fault. All of the women are talented and all of them do what they need to do when they get in front of the camera.
I think that the biggest issue with the women’s tag team division is the planning of the division. There had to be some type of meeting that went on and I don’t see how they couldn’t look at their current roster and say, we don’t have enough tag teams.
I also think that it was during a time that they had injuries so many of their top stars were out. If they weren’t going to do it right, I don’t think that they should’ve done it at all.
A few years later and the most memorable thing about the WWE Women’s Tag Team division is that it caused two very talented women to leave the company. Nothing else.
How Could WWE Improve the Women’s Tag Team Division
First and most obvious is to get some actual tag teams. I am not talking about taking two women that they have no plans for, putting them together, and seeing what happens. This is how this mess started.
I am talking about using NXT as a feeder system to make tag teams. Of course, this won’t fix the issue right away, and it will take some time to implement it, but it makes a solid foundation for the future.
As for what they could do now to make the division better, I think that they should call up Jacy Jayne and Gigi Dolin from NXT as soon as they can to be the cornerstones for the women’s tag team division. They would be the only actual women’s tag team that they have.
Also, they need to look at who they got and decide if they want them to be singles stars or tag team stars. I think that some of the women that they are forcing into tag teams should be singles wrestlers while some singles wrestlers that they are pushing should be tag team wrestlers.
Some of the people that I can think of is that Iyo Sky not be in a tag team for any reason other than a one-off match here and there. I would take Asuka and Iyo in a tag team though.
I don’t think that Shayna Baszler should be in a tag team, but if it means that Ronda Rousey will not have to be a singles wrestler any more, then I’m very sorry Shayna…
I think if they gave them some wins, that Nattie and Tamina could be a good tag team.
They should have another women’s tag team classic and bring in some women from the indies to at least get a look to see if they would make it into the division.
