WWE Reveals Women’s Tag Team Title Tournament Field, NXT Stars Included

You have to start somewhere. There are a lot of titles in WWE and holding a championship still means quite a bit. Winning a title can be a game changer for a wrestler and often serves as the start of someone’s move up to the next level. There are a few ways to become a champion and now we have a better idea of how two people will be winning a title at once.

WWE has released the brackets for the tournament to crown new Women’s Tag Team Champions with the first round beginning this week on Monday Night Raw:

Tamina/Dana Brooke
Iyo Sky/Dakota Kai

Alexa Bliss/Asuka
Nikki Ash/Doudrop

Raquel Rodriguez/Aliyah
Xia Li/Shotzi

Nikkita Lyons/Zoey Stark
Natalya/Sonya Deville

The tournament is being held after Naomi and Sasha Banks walked out on WWE in May, vacating the titles in the process. It is not clear when the finals will be taking place or if Lyons and Stark have been called up from NXT permanently.

Opinion: That is a pretty nice field for the tournament and I’m curious to see how well everything goes. What matters is that WWE’s women’s division has the depth to pull something like this off, even if it means calling up someone from NXT. There is potential for something here, though I could go for some more established teams rather than so many being thrown together.

What do you think of the tournament field? Who do you have winning? Let us know in the comments below.
