Now or Never: Time To Introduce the Women’s Tag Titles

If you watch RAW and SmackDown you’ll notice a certain pattern emerging in the women’s division. Lately, there’s been more female superstars pairing up.

On RAW, there’s the Boss and Hug Connection featuring the popular stars Sasha Banks and Bayley. The red brand has also given us The Riott Squad and the newly formed team of Nia Jax and Ember Moon.

On the SmackDown side, there are the teams of The IIconics, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville, and Asuka and Naomi.

With so many female teams, could this be leading to the introduction of the women’s tag titles?

Yes.

The new tag titles would be a huge boost to the women’s division, which has come under criticism lately. Aside from the women’s championship picture, there’s no creative direction for the other wrestlers. But the tag titles bring that need spark to reignite interest in the women’s division.

With the different teams, we have the potential to see great feuds. Imagine Sasha Banks and Bayley versus Naomi and Asuka or The IIconics versus Nia Jax and Ember Moon.

Now that the teams have been mapped out, it’s time to introduce the new championship.

So when is it going to happen?

Well, that’s hard to say.

Since WWE began their Women’s Revolution, there’s been talk of giving the women their own tag titles. Rumors of the new championship have increased since WWE announced they were doing an all women PPV.

With the Evolution coming up, that’d be a perfect time to introduce the tag titles. Yet, so far there hasn’t been any announcement from WWE.

Of course WWE has been preoccupied with their Super Show-Down PPV, which is taking place this weekend. That has taken some focus off of the Evolution PPV. But after Super Show-Down, there will be three weeks left until Evolution.

While it’s a short period of time between the two PPVs, it still gives WWE the opportunity to announce the new tag titles.

And if WWE wants to integrate the new championship into their women’s division, there’s no better place than Evolution.

With a historic PPV coming up, this is the perfect time for WWE to announce a tag tournament for the new women’s tag titles.

However, knowing how WWE is they end up prolonging the introduction of the titles, which would be a huge mistake.

This is something fans and the women’s roster has been wanting for a long time. The women’s division is long overdue for their own tag titles, yet the more WWE delays the announcement, the more fans will lose interest.

If WWE is going to do something big with the women’s tag titles, they need to do it now when attention is on the women’s division. Evolution is their most-talked about PPV in history and they need to do everything to make it a showstopper. Having a tournament leading to the crowning of the first-ever women’s tag team championships would give the show a lot of publicity and help continue their Women’s Revolution movement.

Chris King is back with another WrestleMania Rewind, looking at the NWO’s Scott Hall battling Stone Cold Steve Austin at WWE WrestleMania X8 from Toronto!

Chris King is back this week with another edition of WrestleMania Rewind, where he is rewatching all the past Mania matches and feuds. This week you’re in for a treat as we look back at ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin vs. Scott Hall at WrestleMania X8.

In late 2001, Vince McMahon bought out his competition WCW and acquired the rights to a plethora of talent including Booker T, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, and the iconic trio known as NWO. Hulk Hogan; Kevin Nash, and Scott Hall were hell raisers, and what better way to make a name for yourself than take out the two top superstars in the WWE The Rock, and Stone Cold?

The NWO cost Austin his chance at becoming the Undisputed Champion at No Way Out during his match with Chris Jericho. Adding insult to injury, the NWO spray-painted ‘The Texas Rattlesnake’ with their brand logo just like they did in WCW. As you can imagine, Austin was pissed and out for revenge against the group and primarily Scott Hall.

Hall would challenge Stone Cold to a match at WrestleMania 18. Both superstars beat the living hell out of each other leading up to this highly-anticipated match for who runs the WWE.

The glass broke and Stone Cold made his iconic entrance, and black and white NWO covered Halls’ entrance alongside Kevin Nash. With the odds stacked against ‘The Toughest S.O.B’ could Austin or NWO prove their dominance? Sadly the NWO broke up that very night when Hulk Hogan came to the aid of his adversary The Rock after their ‘iconic’ dream match. Stone Cold would ensure the victory with the Stunner. Hall would perform an Oscar-worthy sell over the finisher.

What a time to be a wrestling fan in the 2000s when nothing was impossible for WWE. Who would’ve thought WCW would go out of business and Hogan would make his long-awaited return to WWE?

WWE WrestleMania 36 Kevin Owens Seth Rollins

Chris King takes a look at the most underrated WWE WrestleMania matches, and starts off with Seth Rollins battling Kevin Owens in the WWE Performance Center at WrestleMania 36!

Chris King is starting a new series heading into WrestleMania season dubbed WrestleMania Rewind. Each week he’ll be going back and sharing his insight over underrated matches at the Show of Shows. First up, is Kevin Owens vs. “The Monday Night Messiah” Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 36.

At the 2019 edition of Survivor Series, Rollins sacrificed himself during the men’s traditional match allowing SmackDown to ultimately gain the victory. The following night the self-proclaimed Messiah, berated the whole roster but KO was not having any part of it. Owens quickly became a huge barrier in Rollins’ cause for the greater good. The Authors of Pain attacked Owens with Rollins’ character in question.

Owens finally had enough of his rival’s mind games and torment and challenged Rollins to a match on the Grandest Stage Of Them All. Rollins mockingly accepted his challenge and the match was made official for night one of WrestleMania. Owens came out of the gate beating the holy hell out of the Monday Night Messiah trying to achieve his long-awaited moment at Mania but, Rollins tried to steal a disqualification victory by using the ring bell.

Owens hellbent on revenge provoked Rollins into turning their encounter into a no-disqualification contest where the fight could be taken all over the empty arena. The highlight of the match, was when KO used the WrestleMania sign to deliver a thunderous senton bomb through the announce table. Owens would secure the victory with a Stunner in an incredible match. Despite having no crowd during the pandemic era, both KO and Rollins put on an intense performance under the brightest lights.

In my personal opinion, this was a great feud that helped both superstars in their transformation as compelling characters for years to come.
