It was reported last week by Pro Wrestling Sheet that WWE officials are considering holding an all-female event in late September or October, reigniting talk that Women’s Tag Team Championships could finally be introduced.

This week’s Raw featured three separate women’s storylines: Ronda Rousey’s ongoing battle with Alexa Bliss; Sasha Banks and Bayley’s latest frenemy update; and Ember Moon’s match against another Riott Squad member, Sarah Logan.

We’ve seen multiple times since the 2016 WWE draft that, if women aren’t involved in the title picture, their matches have absolutely nothing riding on them, which makes it difficult for fans to care about the storylines and what happens next.

If and when tag titles are brought in for the women, these current non-title storylines will feel a lot more important and matches like Sasha Banks & Bayley vs. Alicia Fox & Dana Brooke will actually carry some kind of consequences.
