And just like that, we have a Women’s Tag Team division. With The Boss ‘N’ Hug Connection’s historic victory in the Elimination Chamber last night, a whole new frontier of the Women’s Evolution has opened up, and Sasha Banks & Bayley gave us the first glimpse of what that might look like.
For starters, the matter of the title’s home brand: To put it simply, it’s all of them. The champions announced that they would not hoard the titles to their home base on Team Red and planned to defend them across Raw, SmackDown LIVE and even NXT, against any challenger, past or present, who wanted an opportunity. And they might already have rivals, as Nia Jax & Tamina reared their heads to try to sow some old seeds of doubt and dissention (namely, that Sasha puts herself first and always loses her titles on her first defense). But Sasha & Bayley may prove to be a tougher chase together than they are apart, as they quickly knocked Jax & Tamina from the apron. Jax & Tamina may be the first prospective challengers, but if things continue this way, they certainly won’t be the last.
