Why do the WWE Raw Women's Tag Team Titles Exist?
It's 4:39 AM and I'm watching NXT, it's the one right after the most current Monday Night Raw, and NXT is running a spot where they're showing us how stacked their women's division is as Fatal Influence stands in the ring the champion. It made me think as I lit up the bowl on my bong, what is the point of the Raw Women's Tag Team Titles? The rosters on all of these shows are overstuffed with amazing athletes. So many people vying for championship gold. So, where all of the Raw women's tag teams?
Raw's Women's Roster:
Asuka, Becky Lynch, Bayley, Ivy Nyle, Iyo Sky, Kairie Sane, Kiana James, Liv Morgan, Lyra Valkyria, Maxxine Dupri, Natalya, Raquelle Rodriguez, Rhea Ripley, Roxane Perez, Scarlet, Stephanie Vaquer, and Zoey Stark.
Asuka, Kiana, and Zoey are all listed as injured.
Bayley is listed as inactive.
Looking at the rest of the roster, minus the tag team champions, that leaves us with Rhea, Roxane, Scarlet, Stephanie, Ivy, Iyo, Kairie, Lyra, Becky, Maxxine, and Natalya.
Now, Natalya and Maxxine are the only tag team that I know of that currently exist on Raw. That's it. And for whatever reason, these two never get any airtime. Most of the other women are in pursuit of championship gold, so again, that only leaves Natalya and Maxxine to challenge for the gold.
So what is the reason for the tag team championship belts if they never get defended? Raw seems to have a women's roster problem. I'd love to see a tag team division that's as large as the men's divisions. On NXT, the so-called call up show for the main rosters of Raw and Smackdown, you've got a bajillion damn women, newcomers on Evolve, and they seem to be stealing talent from AEW and all over the globe on a weekly basis.
WWE...what fucking gives dude? Put some damn women on Monday Night Raw and actually give the belts that Raquelle and Liv hold mean something. They deserve more than just to be a Judgement Day skit. At least give them a feud with the only tag team on Raw? It just doesn't make sense to me to have belts...just for the sake of having belts. They made such a big deal about the redesigns of the belts, and now we don't even have a division.
Just a random thought at now, 5:00 in the morning.
