I think they could've worked had WWE not basically fired most of its women's division over the last couple of years; if they had stuck with the plan of "the champs can work any of the three shows", they'd have had more than enough talent on hand to make 10-20 pairings that could work as at least part-time teams. As it is, yeah, it's absurd. They don't even have enough women to comfortably support their two main roster women's titles, they're certainly not going to have enough for a tag division, not unless they did just make an all-womens show to book them on. I believe these were the teams when the titles were created: Riott Squad Fire and Desire Tamina and Nia Boss 'n' Hug The IIconics Fabulous Glow There's no reason why it couldn't have worked, especially when they also had a lot of other women they could've put together. Exactly, the destruction of the women’s tag division was self inflicted. None of it was needed.

Exactly, the destruction of the women’s tag division was self inflicted. None of it was needed. They proved as such when they made literally four teams out of thin air to have a match at Mania for them... then immediately broke two of them up, and pissed Sasha Banks and Naomi off so hard, Sasha has reportedly peaced out and is off to greener pastures, and Naomi's still sitting at home with a questionable future too.

Yeah and then a month later the Kabuki Warriors were formed. And then a couple months after that Bliss Cross came together. It really wasn't until mid-2020-early 2021 that the wheels came off with them breaking up tag teams and releasing people in bunches. It could've easily worked if booked right but at the end of the day it was just a bad idea as they weren't going to book it right nor care about it. Apparently they just did it because they were sick of Sasha and Bayley nagging them about it. Along with the releasing of talents and breaking up teams for no reason, a problem I noticed early on was that they weren't going to book it as a legit tag division. Instead it was just going to be a tool to give women high on the totem pole something to do when not in the singles title picture by throwing them into random make shift teams and putting the belts on them. Since the belts were a thing the only legit teams they had as far as coming off like an actual tag team imo were Riott Squad, IIconics, and Fire and Desire. Of those three teams only the IIconics got a title run. Because those three teams were comprised of soley midcard women they didn't care about so they wouldn't put the belts on them or push them despite them actually having the best tag team chemistry.

Oh, so Naomi and Sasha were basically proved right with their concerns.
And it also makes the huffing, puffing and whining from WWE look as hollow as we expected it to be.

Given what happened on NXT tonight, they can't even keep the NXT versions of women's tag belts or teams coherent, so yeah, not surprised they've seemed to quietly retire the main roster belts and prove Sasha and Naomi completely right for leaving.

makes sense of they decide to cut the nxt women's tag belts to,every women's division in WWE is declining and lacking depth so there's just no point in having any tag team stuff at all.

I think the best solution would have been to bump up Jade/Roxanne and Toxic Attraction to the main roster at least temporary. Have a Fatale 4 Way or tournament with Doudrop/Nikki and Natalya/Bayzler (or Alexa with someone) for the WWE women's tag titles and have the NXT women's champions win them to unify them. Then have the belt defended across all 3 brands like it once was.
My guess is they get rid of all women's tag titles completely, though.

Yeah, it’s looking more and more like Sasha and Naomi were right to have literally no faith in the writing, haha. What a joke of a company

I'd cry laughing if Roxanne and Cora got called up together and they just ignored Cora turning on her in NXT.

Obviously, I was talking in terms of not having done Tuesday's turn. Although, they would not be the first Champs to not get along. This scenario now probably works best with Toxic Attraction winning the NXT belts back and then Alexa and perhaps Asuka taking Jade/Roxanne's place. Toxic Attraction then wins the tournament or 4 way for the WWE women's tag titles. I think they just get rid of both tag belts, though.
I suppose they could just vacate the NXT women's tag titles and just say the tournament or 4 way is for the unified titles. Have 2 NXT teams and 2 WWE teams in it.

What an own-goal. Has WWE handed the win to anyone this hard in a while?

Do we know that WWE’s perspective was that Sasha and Naomi should be happy because the tag titles are important and a great role? That’s the only way this would prove them right. It seemed more WWE’s point was the tag titles can sit on the back burner while you two fight the singles champions at the next PPV, which is the opposite of the idea that the tag titles are super important.

Yeah, those titles are probably going to Control.
Sasha and Naomi will probably return either during the tournament or after in an attempt to get the titles back, but they don't need them at this point, especially since they desperately need women to feud with the main champion on Smackdown, whoever that may end up being soon.

Too bad Ronda was suspended. These titles are meant for Ronda and Shayna.
