The Women's tag team division was a welcomed addition to WWE only a year ago, but it is quickly losing traction after being lost in the weekly shuffle. While a lot of people probably want to blame WWE for the division's struggle, one has to consider that there are only so many hours of programming fixed for a week.

With that being said and time inching closer to WrestleMania 36, here are five things WWE can do to revive The Women's tag team division. As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments section below and be sure to tell us what you think WWE should do to make the women's tag team titles relevant again.

#5. More title defenses

There are a lot of things WWE can do to strengthen the Women's Tag Team division, but it all has to start with the company choosing to defend the titles more. Not only does this help get the belts more television time, which is a necessity right now, but also creates an unpredictable story-telling that will benefit the overall product.

With that being said and the belts struggling to maintain relevancy, it's time for the company to make the titles a mainstay again. Whether that manifests itself in title matches on free television or mind-blowing feuds that culminate at pay-per-views, the belts need to be defended on a regular basis.

In the end, the company needs to show the WWE Universe that these belts matter again and that begins with compelling title defenses. At least that way, the title picture is moving again, the company can still have matches on free TV.

#4. Utilize unproven talent

WWE has a lot of female talent on their roster and while the company is trying their best to integrate them into weekly programming, none of it has been for the Women's Tag Team division. Fortunately for the company, there are a plethora of options on the table if they want to start pairing some of these women up.

With that being said and Naomi, Nia Jax, Liv Morgan, Dana Brooke, Ruby Riott, Lana, Sarah Logan and countless others still needing a weekly role, why not experiment with teaming them up? At least that way, the company can get these women back on television, use them to reshape the women's division and ultimately make it matter again.

Of course, it would be ridiculous to think this can be done all at once or even over the course of a few weeks, but fans will start to care again if the right incentive is there. Fortunately for the WWE, they have a knack for making fans care about their Superstars and could easily do so again with the current crop of female Superstars.

#3. Create an overarching narrative

If there is one singular thing that the Women's Tag Team division is lacking right now, it's an overarching storyline to bring things together.. Sure, there are a few other divisions that have the same issues, but, the Women's Tag Team division seems to suffer the most from this problem.

For example, while Brock Lesnar as WWE Champion remains one of the most polarizing decisions made by the company, it is one that enforces a narrative of an unbeatable heel champion. A man that can destroy your hero in a matter of minutes and leave him in a crumpled heap before he is dragged to the back of the championship line.

Again, not the most loved storyline in WWE history, but it is still telling an ongoing story that keeps fans engaged week after week. With that being said, The Women's Tag Team division needs something along those lines if they want to start to construct an overarching narrative.

#2. Make it personal

Whether it's The Universal title picture or The Women's Tag Team titles, one sure way to generate interest in a division is to find a way to make it personal. A perfect example of this was when The Fiend started to target The Miz's family and even his own child during their feud, which drew a lot of attention from fans.

Of course, it's not always easy to find a way to make things personal between various pairs of women, but they definitely have the potential to do so. In fact, between how much the company has been moving towards this kind of storytelling and the success they have had with it, one has to wonder why they haven't done this yet?

In the end, WWE have proved that they are capable of telling a compelling story and they just need to focus more on doing so in the Women's Tag Team division. Maybe it takes a while to put all the pieces in place and make fans actually care about these teams again, but making it personal will definitely help with that.

#1. Get the titles off of the Kabuki Warriors

The Kabuki Warriors have had their time in the spotlight and despite a few memorable matches, they have little to show for it. Now, that doesn't mean they weren't great champions and capable of putting on a good show, but they were largely hindered by the lack of babyfaces to play off of.

There was Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair, who teamed up to take on the devious duo at TLC, but that was the exception and not the rule. Unfortunately for Flair and Lynch, they were unsuccessful in defeating the Kabuki Warriors and haven't teamed together since, leaving Asuka and Kairi Sane without opponents for their gold.

In the end, the title picture needs to move forward and it can't be done by staying with a team like The Kabuki Warriors. They also can't move forward with heel champions, which is why the company needs to find an up and coming babyface team to put the belts on.
