After months of talk of the possibility, WWE has made it official as there will be an introduction of tag team titles in the women’s division. During this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW in Sacramento, CA at the Golden 1 Center, WWE aired a video of WWE Chairman Vince McMahon announcing the news while being dressed up like Santa Claus.
WWE touted the announcement as “it was one gift, in particular, that’s set to send shockwaves throughout the WWE Universe: The imminent creation of Tag Team Championships for the Women’s division.”
The interesting part of the news is the unknown of how WWE will handle this. The speculation is that WWE could have separate titles on each brand just like they did with the men’s tag team titles. However, it’s always possible that they have one set of titles that are defended on each brand – Monday Night RAW and SmackDown Live – considering the fact that all pay-per-view events are co-promoted with both brands. The company has also yet to announce when the titles will be introduced.
Several WWE stars have taken to social media to react to the news by posting the following:
