Believe it or not, WWE had trouble with finding things to do with Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler, which is why a tag team title victory at Payback was so good for them. Not only did it allow the company to play up the fact that these two Superstars don't like each other, but also keeps them on television as well.

Some fans thought that WWE had given up on Baszler after she failed to win the RAW Women's title at WrestleMania 36. The signs were surely there when she had a lacklustre performance at this year's Women's Money In The Bank Ladder Match. She was then used sparingly on TV and has now been engaged in an interesting angle with Nia Jax.

This surely gives both Superstars much-needed TV time and keeps them relevant on the Red brand.
