I think putting the titles on the Kabuki Warriors would probably help just because they're not going to be prone to getting jobbed out like the IIconics are. Asuka has always been very protected and Kairi's still new so they probably don't her doing to too many jobs already although I guess that can change. I also don't think they would want Paige looking dumb by managing a couple of losers. That's the only way I see the titles maybe getting treated better. True, my concern wouldn't be so much Kabuki Warriors losing every week as it would be them just not being used on TV. When Asuka was SD Women's Champ she went weeks without even showing up on TV. Also, from what I saw on WWE's website, the Kabuki Warriors aren't advertised for this week's Smackdown on the ticket information, so they might be absent once again. The Women's Tag Titles really do feel like an afterthought now between that and The IIconics losing so much. |

This is more proof to me that WWE's "women's revolution" was only for the sake of Ronda Rousey.
It still annoys me to no end that they ignore the original Women's Tag Team Championship, but I suppose that saying "the first ever WWE..." is technically correct if you want to get that picky about semantics.

See, the the thing is that I personally love long reigning champions who win a lot, especially if theyāre putting on good performances. Not every babyface character can be Johnny Gargano or Daniel Bryan. The problem with WWEās booking structure is that it doesnāt matter whoās the champion since the belt holders choke so damn often, and the contenders get humiliated by the heels too much as of late because they have to āget sympathy.ā I agree I like fighting champions too. I'm actually surprised they've let Becky and Kofi win some matches since Mania and much to everyone's shock, they're the 2 most popular people! WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED?! The Gargano/Bryan thing is true too. There's a difference between being an "underdog" and just a flat out loser. It's just the midcard and tag champions they book bad. They usually protect the top champions for the most part so that's no surprise really. Although Rollins did job to Baron Corbin in a tag match a few weeks match so I guess even they aren't completely immune to it. Becky just recently winning the WM main event and being the first woman to pin Ronda also probably helps her a lot when it comes to getting proper booking. It would be super stupid even for them if she was losing non title matches to Lacey Evans after just coming off beating the "Baddest Woman on the Planet". It would also by proxy make Ronda look bad which is something they don't want either.a |

Hey they had a couple wins on the last few episodes of Main Event. That must count for something.  |

They could easily have the female versions of The Hardyz, Dudleyz, and Edge & Christian. Tearing it up over the tag belts. But nope, gotta do dumb shit. š
The tag scene was on fire back then. E&C
Dudleyz
Hardyz
Too Cool
T&A
Acolytes
Kai en Tai
RTC
Even your random teams of Rock & Sock and Brothers of Destruction. You finally have a stacked women's roster who can do ladder, table, and cage/cell matches. Use them! The women's tag titles could be the best part of the shows. Easily.

It's really not hard to book.
Have them constantly squashing jobber teams and crowing about what fighting champions they are while ducking any genuine threat, when said genuine threats finally get them in a title match have the IIconics show they do have at least some talent individually and as a team but if they win, it's by the skin of their teeth and through heavy cheating. Rinse and repeat more or less, possibly with each title defense the IIconics getting increasingly close to dropping the titles and having to get more and more desperate, until you have them drop the belts.

Trust the WWE to introduce a new title and have absolutely no plan for it past the first month (I think for the 24/7 shit they didn't even plan past the first night). They need to take this division seriously if they want anyone to care about the belts, and jobbing out the champions, amazingly, is not the way to do it. Look, you have Deville & Rose, the Kabuki Warriors, maybe Duke & Shafir if they are called up to main roster soon with Shayna which I suspect they might. Hell might as well just reteam Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan, it's not like they are doing anything. There are teams and feuds available- the WWE just don't seem to care. It's really not hard to book. Have them constantly squashing jobber teams and crowing about what fighting champions they are while ducking any genuine threat, when said genuine threats finally get them in a title match have the IIconics show they do have at least some talent individually and as a team but if they win, it's by the skin of their teeth and through heavy cheating. Rinse and repeat more or less, possibly with each title defense the IIconics getting increasingly close to dropping the titles and having to get more and more desperate, until you have them drop the belts. That would've been absolutely perfect. Now you have a situation where if the Iiconics retain their next defense their opponents look awful cause they've lost to the Iiconics who are being jobbed out, or the new champs look bad cause they've just beaten an awful team that shouldn't have the titles anyway. Classic WWE lose-lose situation due to their shit booking. I'd put the Iiconics in a program with Asuka & Kairi and put the titles on them ASAP, then let them feud with the many heel teams that are out there right now. |

Couple of you said it already, but kind of wonder if Sasha read the writing on the wall and figured that after all of her and Bayley's pleading and working to make the belts meaningful by working multiple shows and whatnot that this would be the way that the Iiconics would be booked.

Well, now they have, two weeks later. ... Does it actually count for anything?
This might legit be the single worst title reign of all time.

Because the last mainstream company to have Women's Tag Titles put them on Eric Young and ODB for 469 days, so the bar can certainly sink lower. |

Legit question.
Does Raw's women's division actually have any tag teams? I mean, maybe Alexa and Nikki, but until that actually does become a thing...

They had a few going like Boss nā Hug, Jax/Tamina and Riott Squad, even a few loose alliances that could have figured in like Rousey/Natalya and James/Fox, but the shakeup, injuries and Banks taking leave have nixed all of them. |

There's still the Kabuki Warriors, but I think WWE forgot that they exist.

There's still the Kabuki Warriors, but I think WWE forgot that they exist. And tag teams like Fire and Desire and the fabulous grow. This is pathetic they keep going off that they are the longest defending champion and they have not defended the belt in almost seven weeks until today and it was against jobbers. It was funny at first but it just not funny anymore but you know Vince. he just likes to run things to the ground . we're going to be hearing these harpies go off and off that they're longest defending yadda used a it's not funny!! shut them up give it to someone like Asuka and Kairi and they can sit on it and go home and do nothing with it! at least it's on the hands of two of the best female wrestlers in the planet |

Now that Billie Kay is back in the win column, can we all agree that she makes Ric Flair look like Ahmed Johnson? Okay good.
Greatest of all time and smoking hot.
