#1 Worst: Lack of new challengers for the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship

As we have just seen, NXT's Women's division is absolutely stacked. Sarray made her debut, while the likes of Franky Monet and Zoey Stark will make more of an impact over the next few months. However, there isn't much progression when it comes to the Women's Tag Team titles.

Ember Moon and Shotzi Blackheart won the Championships a month ago, defeating Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez. Their main challengers have been Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell of The Way, with no other team even staking a claim.

For how stacked the female roster is, NXT should have planted some seeds for a few alliances on the show.

The black and gold brand will need new tag teams to enter into the title picture once the current feud is over. Of course, NXT will likely fix this problem in the weeks that follow. But for now, it is a very mild 'Worst'.

Unless they win the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship or another major development occurs, The Way getting another shot seems somewhat pointless. Also, Moon and Blackheart attacking LeRae in their locker room wasn't very babyface-like. The two of them do need new challengers soon.
