WWE took their next step in raising the profile of their women's divisions by crowning the Women's Tag Team Championships at the Elimination Chamber.

Banks & Bayley started the match against Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville and traded blows for a few minutes before the former members of Absolution gained control.
