7 tag teams that could become the inaugural WWE women's tag team champions

Last night's episode of RAW finally saw the unveiling of the Women's Tag Team Championships during a very special edition of Alexa Bliss' A Moment of Bliss segment with the inaugural holders being crowned at Elimination Chamber.

Little Miss Bliss revealed the belts last night and set the match, but the announcement was of course somewhat shrouded in mystery.

We don't know who will be in the chamber yet, but what we do know is that three teams from RAW and three teams from SmackDown Live are set to battle it out inside the Elimination Chamber to crown the champions - but who could be the first ever champions?

We're running down seven likely teams to become the inaugural title holders, etching their names in WWE history.

#7 Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose

Deville and Rose would be strong contenders

Well, Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose certainly know how to make an impact - but it's arguable that they haven't quite reached the potential everyone thought they had, and the Tag Team Championships could just be the catalyst for such a rise.

When they debuted, accompanied by Paige as part of Absolution, Rose and Deville laid out stars such as Sasha Banks, Bayley, Mickie James, and Alexa Bliss in their main roster infancy, before going on an impressive run where they looked to be one of WWE's most dominant factions.

Sadly, when Paige suffered a severe injury that would eventually result in her retirement, the pair's momentum cooled slightly - but they've since moved from RAW to SmackDown, and while both compete separately as singles competitors, they maintain a strong bond both on-screen and off.

You can bet these two would be strong contenders!

#6 The Riott Squad

Much like the aforementioned Absolution, The Riott Squad made quite the dominant start to their main roster WWE careers, paralleling their Raw counterparts on the blue brand when they assaulted the SmackDown women's roster - beginning with Naomi and Becky Lynch backstage.

On the same show, the trio interrupted a SmackDown Women's title match between the champion, Charlotte Flair, and the challenger, Natalya - attacking both competitors.

The leader of the faction, Ruby Riott, has had the most main roster success, pinning Charlotte Flair and having a very impressive run in a Gauntlet Match on Raw recently, and the trio are still wreaking havoc on the brand.

While Ruby Riott shows the most promise here, and should arguably have been in line for a title run had Rousey not joined WWE, The Riott Squad holding all the gold may now be a pipe dream. Of course, The Riott Squad could always use the Freebird Rule.

#5 Natalya and Ronda Rousey

Rousey has found a friend in Natalya, the woman who had a hand in training her

Now, this would be a shock - particularly since Rousey now holds the main title - but it can't be discarded.

Natalya had a hand in training Rousey, so there's a back story there that WWE could capitalise on, and with Rousey looking out for her mentor in recent weeks, this choice is quite logical.

The only illogical part is that Rousey is the current RAW Women's Champion, and well, a special attraction of sorts - and there can be too much of a good thing. Of course, she may not hold the gold by the time Elimination Chamber comes round.

Rousey has excited the WWE Universe to no end, as well as impressing in the ring, and Natalya may be one of WWE's most underutilised talents and one of the most technically sound women on the roster, so this could be great if WWE went with it.

#4 The IIconics

Now, The IIconics - Peyton Royce and Billie Kay - have been one of the greatest heel throwback teams we've witnessed ever since their main roster arrival.

The pair honed their craft on NXT, and after a plethora of calls from the WWE Universe to bring them to the main roster, they made a huge impact on SmackDown Live on their debut, costing Charlotte Flair the SmackDown Women's Championship just days after she ended Asuka's undefeated streak to retain her gold.

The IIconics have well and truly settled into their roles on SmackDown Live, and continue to be a formidable team whose in-ring work is impressive, but their promos even more so. A win would undoubtedly propel The IIconics up to that next level, and be a huge boost for the blue brand.

When you think about teams who could hold the gold, don't sleep on Kay and Royce. The IIconics were made for the gold.

#3 The Bella Twins

The Bella Twins could return to win the gold

And now we go from one end of the spectrum to the other - the new IIconics to a pair who are definitely icons when it comes to the WWE Women's Division.

This choice may seem like an odd call as the duo aren't currently active, but we saw several Bella Twins matches last year, and the veterans can't be written off when it comes to making history in WWE.

The Bellas vs the IIconics could actually be a great rivalry on its own if WWE went down that route, and they may very well collide for the belts inside the Elimination Chamber, but a little bit of Twin Magic may very well see two of WWE's biggest stars outside the squared circle transition back into the ring and sit atop the WWE mountain once more.

#2 Trish Stratus and Lita

And now for what would be a huge shock - but it's not outside the realms of possibility.

Trish Stratus and Lita appeared in the Women's Royal Rumble and looked every bit as great as they did in their prime, and a dominant tag team performance at Evolution could just see this pair in line for a return to the fray and holding the gold.

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.

With neither missing a beat or looking a day older, what WWE would have on their hands is essentially two ready made champions who could win the titles and put over whoever won the belts from them, maybe with a massive WrestleMania moment.

#1 Sasha Banks and Bayley

Who would be better to beat Trish and Lita for a WrestleMania moment than these two? Of course, the most likely option is that Sasha and Bayley are the inaugural champions, and Trish & Lita, if they do come back, would face the pair in a one-off match.

WWE have spent the best part of the past year building what seemed like being the ultimate rivalry between Bayley and Sasha, which ultimately culminated in the pair forgiving, forgetting, and resolving all their issues.

In what seemed like a massive U-turn coming at a time when the WWE Women's Championships were heavily rumoured, the stage is seemingly already set for Banks and Bayley to become the inaugural Women's Tag Team Champions at Elimination Chamber.

Sometimes WWE likes to shock us, but you'd have to think this one is pretty clear cut - and what better way to completely consolidate the pair as the top team in WWE than to give these former Women's Champions the gold, and have them make history as the first ever Women's Tag Team Champions?
