4 good things that will come from the Women's Tag Team Championship
WWE recently introduced a Tag Team Championship for its women division, with the first tag team champions set to be crowned at the Elimination Chamber pay per view.
While for the men's division, there have been two different tag team championships, one for Raw and another for Smackdown, there will only be one set of titles for the women. This is due to the fact that the current WWE roster has a much larger number of male superstars than the female.
At present, WWE has two main roster shows at which women wrestlers perform, Raw and Smackdown. A superstar from Raw brand almost never competes with one from Smackdown except at Survivor Series, a show which features inter-brand matches.
Thus the creation of a single tag team championship with the competitors split into two different brands ensures cross-brand rivalries, and if handled well, it might lead to some very interesting storylines.
Let us dive into 4 positives expected to come from the newly created Women's Tag Team Championship.
#4 Stepping Stones for the Future Champions
The mid-card titles and the tag team titles are considered to be the stepping stones for the future world champions. Most of the WWE's greatest superstars have held at least one of these titles in their career before moving onto the bigger things.
Mostly, the quality of the championship reign while holding these titles determine the future of the title holder. While not all mid-card or tag team title holders are guaranteed to become future world champions, as only some succeed, almost every top champion has to go through these titles at some point in his career.
Until now, a secondary title was a crucial element which was missing from the women's division, which was a cause for the lack of direction for most of the roster. But this will change with the creation of the Women's Tag Team Championship, as they will fill the void.
These titles will play an important role in establishing the future main eventers, as they will help the Superstars evolve as well as gain the acceptance of the audience.
