Not really a fan of this as a member of the NXT live thread fam. I assume they'll go back to having the women's tag titles defended across all three brands, but I think NXT still really needs a set of their own. NXT has soooo many women, that without their own set of titles they'll have nothing to do. Hell, Alba & Isla were singles wrestlers who started teaming together after feuding. They probably would've gotten lost in the shuffle if they didn't.
Having the tag titles allowed the younger wrestlers to get featured without having the pressure of doing full length matches. Like, I've been impressed with Kelani Jordan on LVL Up, but singles matches on NXT right now, probably not a good idea. A team with Wendy Choo as a Vet/Rookie team like they did on LVL Up once would work and be able to get featured on the main show.
I get that they still can have a tag division and challenge for the tag titles but for me, it just makes it less interesting. Are Yulisa Leon & Valentina Feroz going to be the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, beat Ronda & Shayna & be featured on every brand? No, they aren't ready for the main roster, but they could've been the NXT Women's Tag Champs.

It's basically a net loss because, realistically. I know that what WWE needs is less opportunities for their women to win anything of note while the same 4-5 women get every accolade.

My issue is there simply isn't enough of a tag division to justify two Women's Tags. If they want a proper division they need to build more teams.
I feel like they are getting there. Chance and Carter and Alba and Dawn have done well so far. Toxic Attraction would have been a nice addition which is a shame because i liked their team. Damage Ctrl were good but never really got the booking they deserved.
They just need to keep developing teams. Until then i feel one set is the right amount.

An NXT Women's TV Title with a 10 minute time limit would be perfect. I don't think that anyone has had a TV title for women before (the TBS Title might be this but who knows) and it fits the developmental niche perfectly.

Feels like the Witches are being set up to lose here to make Ronda and Shayna look better and I'm really not a fan of it
Kinda just spells out they don't have the women's roster depth to maintain two sets of tag belts, which is the curse every US promotion seems to have with Women's Tag Belts.

Yeah Dawn and Fyre are just food for Ronda and Shayna to feast on.There really isnt any real threat to them as their are virtualy no teams, and the face side of things is so weak that its pointless having the likes of Shotzi or Mia or Candice even attempt to go for them as they are all pretty much losers these days who no one will ever take seriously as a challenge to them. Only a super team of two of Becky,Charlotte or Bianca will take them down. This company just will not make any proper teams nor push any other talent that isnt one of the big names.

They never should have had NXT Womens Tag Titles in the first place so I’m glad they’re going.
NXT should have had a secondary IC/US level title for the women years ago when it was a legitimate third brand, and even though the show has regressed into very much a developmental brand, it still has enough women that you could warrant a second title.

Honestly, if NXT is just supposed to be developmental, then those titles should always be their own thing. NXT was enough women coming through to showcase those titles, maybe DON'T draft the current champs so they're now carrying more titles on other brands. As for the main tag titles, toss those in the garbage, they've never given a crap about them their entire existence.

Given the current crop of women in NXT, it makes sense to do this. I love NXT but the amount of TV ready talent has taken a big hit recently with the call ups and injuries. I just wish they had done this as soon as they were called up instead of letting this weird vague situation persist for a month.

If they just immediately feed an actual cool act like Alba and Isla to Ronda.

Unsure why they were ever split in the first with how often the main roster belts just fell off the face of the planet. I get that that NXT had a wealth of women that needed something to do but they could’ve just left the main titles on NXT for the prolonged periods they had no plans for them on the main shows.

NXT better get a new belt then, because I doubt Ronda will work NXT regularly.
There’s too many talented women down there right now.

No surprise. There are like 6 or 7 healthy women on NXT TV ready right now. The only women team is Lash Legend and Jakara.....

Imagine Ronda trying to defeat Isla and Alba's spooky Scottish magic with the power of Pokemans.

The entire reason the NXT Women's Tag Titles existed was because Vince didn't want main roster champions losing to developmental talent. Not to mention, someone like a Ronda would see working NXT as beneath her or a demotion.
Now you can say that NXT doesn't have enough women's tag teams to justify having their own championship. I could say there aren't e ought teams in the whole company to justify the titles existing currently, either. But that's just me.

I think that they should have just quietly retired them when the Craft XXX got called up. Just have Tony D throw the belts in the river or they go up in flames due to Isla’s DARK SEX MAGICK or something.
