Speculation on WWE possibly booking a massive title change before WrestleMania 39 - Reports

We're just over a month away from WWE WrestleMania and have received tons of updates regarding the two-night match card.

The road to WrestleMania this year could also feature a title change as Dave Meltzer revealed some interesting speculation regarding the Women's Tag Team Championship. Dakota Kai and IYO SKY are currently in their second reign with the title, having held the belts since Crown Jewel in November 2022.

The Damage CTRL members, however, will inarguably have their most high-profile title defense to date on next week's RAW when they face Lita and Becky Lynch. As reported over the past few days, the WrestleMania plan is for Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler to challenge the women's tag team champions.

As noted in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there is a possibility of WWE taking the championship off of Dakota and IYO and giving them to Lita and Lynch instead before WrestleMania.

On paper, having Rousey and Baszler go up against Lynch and Lita would be a bigger marquee match for WrestleMania. Here's what Meltzer speculated about the potential title change:

"Shayna Baszler & Ronda Rousey will challenge for the Women's Tag Titles. It was originally against IYO SKY & Dakota Kai, the champions. But Lita & Becky Lynch face SKY & Kai, and WrestleMania is about marquee matches and Lita & Lynch as a team against Baszler & Rousey is a bigger match."
