Who will be the inaugural WWE Women's Tag Team Champions?

Long time WWE fans know that there was a time in the past that the promotion did indeed have a women's tag team division. During a time when the WWWF, precursor to the modern WWE, was a part of the National Wrestling Alliance, their roster members Princess Victoria and Velvet McIntyre were the reigning NWA Women's tag team champions. When the WWWF withdrew from the NWA, the duo were recognized as the inaugural WWWF Women's Tag Team Champions.

They would be one of only three tandems to hold the women's tag team gold. The other teams were the Glamour Girls (Leilani Kai and Judy Martin, managed by Jimmy Hart) and the Jumping Bomb Angels (Japanese stars Noriyu Tateno and Itzuki Yamazaki.)

The tag team belts were retired with little fanfare in 1989, which is when WWE unofficially folded its women's divisions to focus more on male superstars.

Fast forward to 2019, and women's wrestling is bigger than ever in the WWE. Women have main evented PPVs, and have even had an entire event dedicated just to them: Evolution.

The WWE Women's Tag Team titles are making their triumphant return at Elimination Chamber. But which of the six teams will walk away with the gold and make history?

Tag Team #1: The Boss N Hug Connection

Frenemies Sasha Banks and Bayley have been rivals, but now are a tag team

One of the favorites to win the Elimination Chamber match is the Boss N Hug Connection, AKA The Boss Sasha Banks and the Hugger Bayley. The duo have often been at odds, but over the last year have forged a solid alliance and are gelling nicely as a tag team.

Strengths: Probably the most technically precise team in the event, as well as having years of experience. They also have already competed in an Elimination Chamber match, unlike the majority of their opponents.

Weaknesses: The duo are giving up a lot of size and strength to some of their opponents, and there's always the question of just how deeply their friendship runs. A sudden betrayal could happen at Elimination Chamber.

Odds of winning the WWE Women's Tag Team titles: 50-50. The Boss N Hug Connection are quite popular with the fans, but lingering questions over the solidity of their team remain.

Tag Team #2: Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose

The duo made their main roster debut as part of Paige's Absolution stable, but continued as a unit even after Paige's unfortunate early retirement. Of the two, Mandy is the bigger star, but Sonya Deville has been putting in solid performances for years, first on NXT and now on Raw. Can they get the job done and claim victory in the Elimination Chamber?

Strengths: Sonya Deville's MMA background is unique among the competitors in the Elimination Chamber match, while Mandy Rose is surprisingly strong given her small size. They have also been a team for longer than many of their opponents.

Weaknesses: Their ring styles don't necessarily mesh very well, and they are giving up some size and technical acumen to some of the other teams.

Odds of winning the WWE Women's Tag Team titles: 70-30 against. WWE seems intent on pushing Mandy Rose more than Sonya Deville, which is evidenced by her participation in the Mixed Match Challenge. Their strong social media game is a plus, but it may not be enough to put them over the top.

Tag Team #3: Naomi and Carmella

If there were any team put together as a place filler for the Elimination Chamber event, it's probably Naomi and Carmella. It wasn't too terribly long ago that they were enemies, competing against each other. Pro wrestling's odd couple have an uphill battle ahead of them at the pay per view.

Strengths: Naomi is an experienced, highly athletic, and popular competitor with plenty of technical precision. Her acrobatics will come in very handy in the Elimination Chamber with so many platforms to spring off of.

Weaknesses: They haven't really been a team for more than a hiccup, and don't seem to mesh very well when working together. Carmella isn't a bad wrestler, but she's nowhere near Naomi's talent level and gives up a lot of weight to the other teams.

Odds of becoming WWE Women's Tag Team Champions: 90-10 against. This team has been thrown together to fill the sixth spot in the eyes of many, and they don't have a lot of chemistry together.

Tag Team #4: Nia Jax and Tamina Snuka

While Nia Jax and Tamina Snuka are not blood relatives, both are considered to be part of the Anoa'i wrestling dynasty. Nia Jax is a blood relation of the Rock, while Tamina Snuka's late father "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka married into the dynasty. Can the Samoan Sisters pull off a win?

Strengths: First and foremost, they are the largest and strongest competitors in the Elimination Chamber match, which is a major advantage. Tamina Snuka is also the most experienced grappler in the event.

Weaknesses: Tamina Snuka has struggled with numerous injuries over the years, and Nia Jax is still relatively green. Neither is the most technical of wrestlers, either, preferring to smash and slam their way to victory.

Odds of becoming WWE Women's Tag Team Champions: 60-40 in favor of it. Their tremendous size and strength advantage is hard to beat, and Nia Jax is highly favored with WWE backstage officials.

Tag Team #5: Riott Squad (Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan.)

The two members of the Riott Squad don't seem to have a lot in common, but they have been teaming together quite successfully since joining the main roster. Despite being quite different, they are always on the same page when handing out beatdowns to the rest of the WWE women's roster.

Strengths: Sarah Logan is an accomplished and experienced international wrestling star, having competed all over the world and trained in the tough as nails Japanese dojos. Liv Morgan is undeniably tough despite her slight frame, and possessed of a mile wide devious streak. Also, only the IIconics have teamed together longer.

Weaknesses: Other than giving up some size and strength to the Samoan tandem of Tamina Snuka and Nia Jax, they don't have any.

Odds of winning the WWE Tag Team Titles: 50-50. They are not one of the favorites to win, but most likely their teammate Ruby Riott will NOT be successful against Ronda Rousey because of plans involving the Rowdy One and Charlotte for Wrestlemania. The WWE might decide to put the belts on the duo to avoid making Riott Squad look weak by losing twice in the same night.

Tag Team #6: The IIconics (Billy Kay and Peyton Royce)

When the IIconics were brought up to the main roster from NXT, they were brought up as a unit, which speaks volumes. The Australian women were impressive in WWE's developmental brand, and are quite popular despite being technically heels.

Strengths: Experience, both as singles stars and most importantly as a tag team. Without a shadow of a doubt, they are loyal to each other and gel nicely as a tag team unit. Peyton Royce is an underrated technical wrestler, while Billy Kay's long limbs give her a reach advantage.

Weaknesses: Very often, the IIconics have yielded to the 'better part of valor' to quote Shakespeare, running from difficult fights or cheating their way to victory. But there's nowhere to run in the Elimination chamber, and no way to use foreign objects.

Odds of winning the WWE Women's Tag Team championships: 90-10 for it. The IIconics are the only true, bonafide tag team in the match, and are probably the dark horse choice to walk away with the gold.
