WWE Rumors: Update on which brand the Women's Tag Team Championships will show up on
What's the story?
On this week's episode of RAW, Vince McMahon made a huge, historic announcement for the year to come. Addressing the WWE Universe, he said that Women's Tag Team Championships would be debuted in the year 2019.
What he did not mention is which brand these titles will be debuted on. Cageside Seats has an update that may shed some light on this matter.
In case you didn't know...
The WWE Women's Division has grown exponentially in strength and numbers over the past few years. The women are given almost as much airtime as the men are, and continue to steal the show at every given opportunity.
Unfortunately, there are only two Championships for the women in the main roster, specific to each WWE brand. The women have been clamouring for Tag Team Championships for a while now. It does seem like their prayers will be answered next year.
The heart of the matter
The current rumour states that it is possible that instead of having Champions in both brands, there will only be one set of Tag Team Champions who will work in both RAW and SmackDown Live. Therefore, they would essentially become free agents in the vein of say, John Cena.
This probably has to do with the depth of the women's division. Even though there are more women in the main roster than at any point in WWE history, the fact remains that there aren't enough women to justify two Tag Team programs. Also, essentially, because both brands are under the McMahon regime now, the titles can be showcased on both brands.
What's next?
It remains to be seen what plans WWE has for the said historic titles. It does seem like a lot more tag team programs are being created on both brands. Remember the Naomi-Mandy Rose spat from last week?
