Women Who Would Have Been Tag Team Champions

The WWE introducing tag team titles to the women’s division was a brilliant next step in the women’s evolution and with the number of female talents increasing across the WWE it made perfect sense. However, its clear things haven’t quite worked out the way many wanted and at times its easy to forget these championships even exist. Taking a look back at history while the division wasn’t as deep and thick as it is today there are female duos who would have made for excellent tag team champions and most certainly would have held these titles if they existed during their time with the company.

LayCool

Michelle McCool and Layla really did make for a brilliant duo. While they were not always given the time, they deserved In the ring to showcase just how great they were in the ring the pair had a natural chemistry and charisma. Michelle and Layla were great at genuinely leaving fans angry with constantly mocking and humiliating fellow roster members and fans. These two worked as the perfect mean girls of the WWE and we even saw them split the women’s championship (quite literally) something we haven’t seen before or since. Now, things may have ended with the pair going one on one with their careers on the line but during their time together these two really were unstoppable and made a major impact within the then divas division and had fans wishing there were tag team titles for the female stars during a time when they struggled to get five minutes on TV.

The Bella Twins

For years the Bella twins were the main reason why so many fans wanted to see tag team titles introduced for the women’s division. From the moment they arrived in the WWE they made shock waves through the divas and women’s division using twin magic and remaining firmly by one another side in storylines and matches. We saw them take part in tag team bouts and angles including the divas' revolution angle prove that having women’s tag titles would have been so fitting at this time and especially perfect for the Bella Twins. I am still surprised the WWE never had the two come back and win the titles when they were first introduced but who knows what the future may hold.

Lita and Trish Stratus

Despite being enemies throughout so much of their careers Lita and Trish Stratus most certainly would have made for an epic tag team alliance. The WWE is no stranger to putting two singles stars and most importantly two singles stars who have been enemies together and seeing them go on to win tag team gold taking Cesaro and Sheamus as a prime example of just that! Lita and Trish made for iconic female athletes and changed the game in terms of women’s competition within the wrestling world and the addition of being tag team champions would have been such an interesting new element to their relationship. The pair may have been bitter enemies but their talent and that chemistry was more than enough for them to brilliant titleholders and work a great story between them as champions also.

Kaitlyn and AJ Lee

Before tearing each other apart in one of the most memorable rivalries in the women’s divisions history AJ Lee and Kaitlyn were best friends. Going through the original NXT together and coming up to the main roster remaining alongside one another they may have drifted apart at times but the WWE really did do a great job with their storyline during a time that was incredibly tough for female superstars and the pair stood out as two of the best of this specific time. A reign as tag team champions would have been another fantastic element to their angle and journey together and added more depth to that storyline. These were two women ahead of their time and it's clear just how much they would have benefited from these titles and how fitting they would have been.

Emma and Dana Brooke

Of course, there is every chance Emma (now going by Tenille Dashwood) could one day make a return to the WWE and make this actually happen but during their time together in NXT Dana Brooke and Emma proved they would have made for excellent tag team champions. While there was a power dynamic here and Emma using Dana to a certain degree the two did make for a dominant duo competing in tag team competition regularly and remaining by each other’s side in an alliance that worked very well! Emma really did bring out the best in Dana, both as a character and in-ring talent and this would have been a great opportunity for both these women to be taken more seriously and have more in ring time that possibly could have resulted in very different current position for the both of them.

Throughout history, we have seen some fantastic female alliances many of which we still haven’t even touched on in today's blog post! So many of these women would have made for great tag team championship but the opportunity just wasn’t there, let's hope the WWE waste no time and hold back any of the women within the tag team scene today who have great potential to be champions.
