also it is entirely possible since it's in the future clearly the tournament will be won by... Naomi and Sasha... in 2071 when all parties apologize...
of course by then the WWE is just a smoking crater in Connecticut where Vince's robot body went haywire and started destroying the world... >_>

I wouldn't be surprised if they just do a 4 corners tag match, or 6 team battle royal. f*** the title, f*** the division.. and f*** you.

Just kinda makes me wish Rhea/Liv had won when they had the chance that much more. Shame Mandy's in NXT (even if she's been doing well for herself), since I'd have liked to see Fire and Desire win it.
It's an interesting what-if, for sure. The 'Sasha never had a Mania moment (despite main-eventing last year)' crowd would have still been angry, and I think if Rhea/Liv won they probably would have turned their social media stuff into a bit of a romance angle. I think they're doing pretty well with their feud so far, at least, and it's nice WWE is giving it time to build rather than just rushing into matches like they did with Rhea/Nikki A.S.H.

Just get rid and bring in a women's midcard belt, instead. The only way I'll care about the tag belts is if Liv and Alexa team up, or something.

Honestly either retire them or just give them to Toxic Attraction and make there be one shared set of Women's Tag titles. They really don't even have the roster depth for that but it's better than keeping them separate.

Well, given they've got people like Ziggler, Natalya, and the War Raiders doing tours in NXT these days and losing to people here and there while doing it, it feels like that attitude's shifted anyway. |

Well assuming the tournament doesn't start before Hell in a Cell, probably Asuka and whoever she tags with will get it, as a consolation prize for having to lose to Bianca way before they apparently planned for her to do.

Asuka and Liv would be a pretty good set of throw-together tag champions honestly. Asuka can make pretty much everything work and Liv, while I can't claim to be super high on her as a performer, does tend to throw herself into trying to make whatever she's given work. I think the two of them would find a pretty fun dynamic. |

None of them were main roster CHAMPIONS. The Intercontinental or United States Champion weren't laying down on NXT. |

And I also think Io isn't going to be heading back to NXT once she's healed from her injury. Which is probably going to be soon since a sprain's recovery time is 6-9 weeks, and we are in week 7 right now. |

Might as well retire them as they just don't have the depth and it would be heel heavy unless they start turning women face like Shotzi. They NEVER had the depth for them, nor have they ever been particularly keen to have them. I think they were able to pull it off in the first several months after the belts were introduced, and could have kept it up if they had allowed WWE/NXT crossover in the women's division. Once several women's teams got split up, including the IIconics, that killed any chance at a decent division. |

Have Asuka get a bunch of tattoos so Liv’s tag team trajectory can go: Ruby Riott- Jobbers Bigger Stronger Kinkier Ruby Riott- Not jobbers but not champs Japanese Ruby Riott- Champs! |

I assume it will just be a 4-team tourney.

I’m willing to bet a non-televised tournament will be held in Rio De Janeiro (like Pat Patterson’s IC tournament) and the winners will be on RAW the next night…

"in the future" is vague enough they might not do this for a while, if ever. I'm still waiting on the tournament for the WCW Light Heavyweight title. |

Time for them to make Aliyah and Tatum Paxley a tandem.

Unify the tag titles so they can jump to any brand at any moment. The entire reason the NXT Women's Tag Totles exist is because Vince didn't want main roster champions losing to developmental talent. So, we would be right back to where we started. yeah raquel and dakota got robbed because of that. would have been a rare "anything can happen" moment where a main roster title gets dropped on NXT. give kota and raquel a couple of appearances on all three shows to show what they can do and drop it at the next nxt takeover/PPV or something if they didn't want them to have it for very long but kinda undercut the whole tournament. "ok you got a shot at the women's titles- but you got screwed so here are some nxt titles for you instead so you can defend it against the team you just beat in the finals right now so they can win the belts." even raquel's back muscles weren't strong enough to support that amount of screwiness. |

It's been a nice little break, but let's be real.
There likely isn't going to be a tournament for the tag titles. We've known for a while that Vince doesn't like tag teams and has no interest in booking angles for them. He has trouble booking the big titles effectively unless it's a)"romanwinsLOL" or b) HUGE CELEBRITY CHALLENGER who eats the pin by Roman.
Let them molder in Vince's office as reminders of this blunder.
