Trish Stratus and Lita are Hall of Famers and are a major reason why women's wrestling started getting a lot of fan appreciation during the 90's. The matches by these two wrestlers put the Women's Divison on the map, and they are the reason why we never lost our interest in the women's division.

When Stephanie McMahon announced on Raw that WWE will host it's first ever women's only pay-per-view WWE Evolution which comes your way on October 26 from Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York the fans were exhilarated, and the rumour mill started thinking of people that could be a part of the show.

The names that did the rounds were Trish, Lita and Michelle McCool, and while the first two got their individual matches at the show, the latter may be a surprise during the event.

It must be noted that WWE is trying everything in the book to sell the event and in an attempt to add more value to the show, they turned individual matches into a tag team feud, courtesy of this video:

While this is still a great idea, it takes away the individual impact that these two trailblazers would have had if they were given singles competition. While that seems to be out of the window now, let's take a look at why the tag team concept isn't the best for WWE Evolution.


#3 No Individual presence

Return gets derailed
Return gets derailed

Ever since the news of Alexa Bliss facing Trish Stratus at WWE Evolution broke out, the WWE Universe has been waiting to see the 7-time women's champion take out The Goddess of the WWE, but if the same turn into a tag team, it takes away the individual presence of these two wrestlers who are returning after a hiatus.

Every return gets a loud pop, but these two have been individual performers during their run in WWE, and now if they turn into a tag team, it doesn't give any good thing for the shutterbugs, unless Lita would turn on Trish during the show.

#2 Business

Sales is the drawing factor

If rumours are to be believed, WWE Evolution didn't have the ticket sales the company wanted, and if these are to be believed, it is a bad sign for the show and company in general.

The fact that we would have seen four wrestlers in two matches entices the possibilities for the show, but if the company pulls off something great out of this tag team match during the buildup, only then would it help the ticket sales.

#1 Storylines will suffer

Alexa Bliss was able to build her feud with Trish Stratus, and as we know it, she can always pull off a feud and storyline in the best possible manner. The video above is an example of her amazing verbal skills.

Mickie, on the other hand, has a lot to learn from her friend Alexa, and now with the duo fighting as a tag team, Alexa will have to build the feud for her too. This spoils all the effort put forth by Alexa Bliss.

Mickie's feud with Lita didn't even start before WWE derailed it, and we couldn't see her mic skills.
