5 Brilliant But Unlikely Teams That Could Compete For The WWE Women's Tag Team Championships

Who c
Who could be thrown together?

Well, if all rumours are to be believed, it looks like Women's Tag Team Championships could be announced at any time in WWE, with several outlets reporting that the actual belts are finished, but WWE are waiting for the optimum time to implement the idea.

With WWE's stacked Women's Division and only Women's Championships to go round, it seems only logical. Not to mention the women of WWE making up a stacked division that has never been deeper, nor more talented - and more titles being the next logical step.

When will it happen? Who knows, but with WWE, it could be any time, and they have the talent to step up and fight for the gold immediately, with several teams lying in wait and many Superstars hinting at the belts and their interest in competing for the titles.

With Sasha Banks and Bayley's rivalry taking a U-turn and the pair being touted as the most likely inaugural champions based on their current roles on Raw, why bother looking at the other options, right?

Wrong. We all know WWE likes to be unpredictable, and wrestling's at its best when it's unpredictable, so let's take a look at the other options.

Not the tag teams already in existence. If you want to know the seven most likely teams to compete, they're here - but let's look at some wildcards!

We all know WWE loves throwing together unlikely double acts, or moulding two distinct singles stars to make a team - a la Sheamus and Cesaro becoming "The Bar" after their best of seven series ended in a stalemate and the pair going on to become Tag Team Champions and one of the most dominant teams in WWE today.

So why wouldn't two female singles stars be thrown together to win the titles when they're implemented? Well, simple answer, they most likely will.

While this is at the fantasy booking stage right now, let's have some fun "fantasy booking" it. I'm going to throw together ten incredible solo stars who would make for five unlikely, but brilliant, teams to compete for the eventual titles.

#5 Natalya and Dana Brooke

Natalya and Brooke already have similar ring attire

So, there's every chance that Natalya and Ronda Rousey may end up competing for the titles if and when they come into play, of course, but what if the pair have fallen out by then? Or if Rousey has the Women's Championship?

One intriguing teaming I've always thought would be great was Natalya and Dana Brooke. I mean, they already have the look - both are blonde women wearing leather/transparent black ring attire - and they have put on great matches against one another in the past, so let's team them up!

Dana Brooke has frequently protested that she wants more in-ring time, and one could say Natalya is equally as underutilized - having only held the Divas Championship and the Women's Championship one time each and, well, Brooke even more so. She's never had a title and is more often spotted on WWE television as a valet for Titus Worldwide, crunching the numbers outside the ring.

Natalya is one of the most technically sound workers in WWE and still garners a great crowd reaction, not to mention is one of the veterans of the game, even helping train Ronda Rousey among others. Teaming her with Brooke, one of WWE's underrated talents in the ring, could be a masterstroke!

#4 Nikki Cross and Ruby Riott

Riott and C
Riott
and Cross could make for an unpredictable team

Okay, so let's get this out of the way first - Ruby Riott is the leader of the Riott Squad, I know. And, well, without her, it's probably not called the Riott Squad.

There's every chance Sarah Logan and Liv Morgan wrestle in the tag team division with Ruby as a singles competitor - or even under Freebird Rules - but let's fantasy book this one for a second.

Imagine how unpredictable this pair would be together in the ring! Riott may be one of WWE's secret weapons - putting in an incredible performance in a Gauntlet Match where she finished runner up to Sasha Banks, as well as pinning Charlotte within her first year. Sadly, an injury put an abrupt end to that, but she's back on television and establishing dominance yet again.

Meanwhile, Nikki Cross defines "unpredictable" - with her crazed persona and unique in-ring style, Cross has honed her craft in NXT while her SAnitY buddies have transitioned to SmackDown. Cross looks like an imminent main roster call-up, though, working on house shows and even appearing on Raw when the Evolution announcement was made.

This pair together would give any team a test! One other great option, though, could be Nikki Cross and Becky Lynch - but Lynch would be more likely paired with Charlotte Flair.

#3 Alexa Bliss and Liv Morgan

The pair share
The pair share a fair few similarities

Okay, I'm not trying to break up The Riott Squad, I promise.

I think any duo from Riott, Morgan and Logan (or all three) would be great Tag Team Champions - and, had I written this a year ago, Bliss and Nia Jax would have to be one of the favourites for the tournament. The pair could always reconcile - but that looks very unlikely given their very personal rivalry this year.

While Bliss is aligned with Mickie James right now, and Alicia Fox, and anyone on the wrong side of Ronda Rousey, Bliss is undoubtedly a star in her own right. Ever since her main roster debut, she's taken the WWE Universe by storm with her incredible ring work and arguably being the best promo in the company along with Paul Heyman. Meanwhile, Liv Morgan's been a bit part player and hasn't really gotten off the ground when it comes to gathering momentum in the ring.

These two pocket rockets stand at 5'1 and 5'3 respectively and have incredibly similar looks - not to mention both play incredible heel characters. Pair up Morgan and Bliss, and you've got an incredibly exciting prospect for the belts!

#2 Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler

Both
Both women have swapped the Octagon for the squared circle

Well, this one might be the most predictable on the list, but with Rousey fighting for the Raw Women's Championship after only three televised WWE matches, not to mention debuting at WrestleMania, pressure isn't a thing she feels inside the squared circle, it seems.

While Natalya may be the more likely partner, Baszler could be perfect for long-term storytelling. Ronda Rousey is by far the biggest name to make the switch from UFC to WWE, but the NXT Women's Champion made that same journey before her friend.

As Rousey has been learning how to ply her craft in WWE in front of the world, Shayna Baszler learned behind closed doors and has been honing her craft between the yellow ropes ever since - even claiming the runner-up spot in the Mae Young Classic with Rousey watching in the crowd.

When Baszler won the NXT Women's Championship at TakeOver, Rousey was there to congratulate her backstage. Now, if WWE really wanted to go all in with this pair, give them the Tag Team Championships, then let Baszler turn on Ronda Rousey to set up the ultimate UFC turned WWE Superstar rivalry!

#1 Trish Stratus and Lita

T
Two true icons of wrestling

So, this may seem a bit far out there, but with Trish Stratus and Lita appearing in the Women's Royal Rumble and both have already been confirmed for Evolution, you cna never rule out one final run.

With neither missing a beat or looking a day older at the Rumble than in their prime, you'd have to wonder if a match or two may be on the cards for the pair.

These two women arguably may have even kicked off the current Women's Revolution back during the Attitude Era when, while neither woman was afraid to show some skin, the pair would compete in absolute knock-down, drag-out contests, leaving it all in the ring and showing that they were more than aesthetics. The pair had one of WWE's most iconic rivalries, but have also appeared on the same side on occasion.

If you want to bring prestige to the belts, these two Hall of Famers could be an incredible set of inaugural champions, not to mention the perfect team to put over whoever their successors were.

Of course, this is just my fantasy booking. I'd love to see Lita and Trish back in WWE - but what unlikely teams would you like to see compete in a Women's Tag Team Division?
