That’s an important detail to mention. On Sunday night at Elimination Chamber, the Boss N Hug Connection of Sasha banks and Bayley became the first ever WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. This was quite the step forward for both WWE and the women’s division, which hasn’t had Tag Team Champions in about thirty years. With the new titles come a new detail though, which is quite the change of pace.

This week on Monday Night Raw, Banks and Bayley made their first comments as champions and mentioned that they would be defending the titles on Monday Night Raw, SmackDown Live and NXT. This is the first mention of NXT being a possible destination for the titles, as only the main roster shows have been mentioned so far. There is no word on when the first title defense will take place.

The champs talk and get challenged. Check out the new champs’ first comments and see who is coming for the belts:

Opinion: This is kind of a nice surprise, though I’m not sure how often Banks and Bayley are actually going to go down to NXT. They’re legends there and bringing main roster titles down there is going to make everything seem like it’s beneath them. The Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live defenses are basically necessary though, as neither has more than about three teams each.

Who do you want to see the champs face at WrestleMania? Who will take the titles next? Let us know in the comments below.
