Diva Tag Titles?

[Jack-Hammer]

I was browsing the net and came across an article reporting on a little snippet of an interview The Bella Twins gave to WWE Magazine. As part of an interview, The Bella Twins are asked if they'd be in favor of WWE introducing tag team championships to the Diva Division:

Nikki Bella: "We've been begging to get that done for years! It'd be a great chance to see what us girls could come up with. New finishers, new names, new gear. We're all so talented and creative and it'd be great to show that in a new way."

Brie Bella: "Girls gang up on girls. It's life. We sit down, we gossip, we group together naturally. Why not bring a little bit more of that aspect to WWE?"

This doesn't automatically mean that WWE is going to create a tag team championship for the Divas, but you have to at least wonder. Otherwise, why would WWE's own magazine pose the question in the first place if there wasn't a possibility?

I personally hope they don't go this route because I just don't have high hopes for it. While things have gotten significantly better as far as Diva matches and their general relevance, I don't think they've progressed to the point where a Diva Tag Team Division is warranted or needed. The tag teams, currently, would be Cameron & Naomi, The Bella Twins, AJ & Tamina and there are reports that Natalya & Emma have been paired at a number of recent house shows. I don't think the division is strong enough or has enough consistently strong and/or interesting workers at this point. I think there need to be a few more Divas on the roster who actually bring something to the table beyond looking hot in skimpy outfits. At this point, Aksana, Rosa Mendes & Eva Marie are dead weight who should either be sent down to NXT for some much needed training or released altogether to make room for other Divas. There's a big chance that the division would quickly devolve into something that exists just for the sake of taking up some TV time. After all, that's what happened to the women's tag team picture in TNA, though there were very few Knockout tag teams to begin with.

This didn't work in TNA and it's not going to work here. At the end of the day, the Divas are there as eye candy and a breather from the heavy lifting of the show. Look at AJ: she's cleaned out the division in less than eight months and did it with ease. There's barely enough competition for one title let alone two of them. Get the girls to the point where they can survive a five minute match without needing a script read to them and then we'll talk about expanding the division. Until then though, leave the Bella Vanity Titles on paper.

I think it would make sense just because of the fact that there are so many Divas on the card that are unused. I think the main reason that WWE doesn't have a Divas tag championship is because of the fact that no one really cares. Featuring the Divas division seems to be more of an obligatory PR move the way that they book it. But I think the Tag belts would make it somewhat more interesting. I'd like to see AJ skip to the ring wearing the Divas belt around her waist and a Tag belt in each arm with Tamina following her. Another thing they can do, which already seems crazier as I type it, is make the Divas Tag Team Championship as 3 belts. Just for the sake of getting as many of them on TV as possible in that short window that is allotted to them.

There are so many unused divas because they suck. They have no talent, can't wrestle, can't cut promos or do anything.

AJ with a diva tag title? well that just killed your statement about unused women wrestlers. Why make a new title just to give it to aj? She already has a belt.

I like the 3 person team title idea but the WWE divas division just doesn't have the quality of wrestlers to pull this off.

I think that the tag titles are a bad idea. Of course the Bella's would love this because they would probably just run through the division with no competition. I don't even care about the main divas title so why would I care about these tag titles?

 

[Slash-LN]

There is a zero chance that this would ever be a good idea in WWE.
They can't even build a proper men's tag division and sustain for a good period of time.
What makes they can do any better with the Diva's?
It would probably just turn into a clusterfuck of AJ and Tamina vs Cameron and Naomi vs The Bellas.
I guess they could make some other random pairings but really there isn't enough talent to make it any good.
The Divas title is enough for them. There's no reason to make a tag title too.

 

[Reflection]

I can understand why the Bellas have been "begging" for Divas Tag Team titles. This is because they are the most prominent and exposed tag team among the divas, always getting screen time and dating the company's top 2 stars (I won't say which is a result of which), and if the titles get introduced, they will be holding them for most of the year and come off as "the most dominant divas tag team in history". They are aware that they don't have much of a chance at the Divas Championship with AJ Lee in the form that she is in, also with the rookies Emma and Paige coming up... unless John Cena uses his influence backstage, which he probably isn't doing enough. So the Divas Tag Team championships would be perfect for them in every way. For everyone else, not so much. The Funkadactyls are the only other real tag team in the Divas division, but they don't wrestle much, so we don't know how much of wrestling (both time-wise and move-wise) they can do. AJ Lee and Tamina are together (no pun intended), but we don't know how long that will last. Natalya is there, but she is just a shell of what she was half a decade ago. Kaitlyn is gone, and the rest (including semi-internet darling Layla) are not worth considering as people who could keep the title picture interesting.

By the way, addressing the comparisons with TNA, I am of the opinion that it would have worked for Impact Wrestling if the Knockouts Tag Team titles were used right, like they were in the first year of establishment, with talented women like Sarita, Taylor Wilde, Hamada, Awesome Kong, and Beautiful People competing for it... until it was reduced to a joke with males like Eric Young and that guy from Jersey Shore feuding for it with their respective partners. It got to the point where the titles were forgotten about, with two fluke champions, and by the time they realized it, Eric and ODB were the longest reigning champions in TNA history, long surpassing Bobby Roode's memorable reign with the World Title. That kind of booking was shameful and suicidal, and when you have people like that running the show, then nothing good can come from it. But talent-wise, TNA did have the talent to keep those titles relevant even till this day.

 

[Limitless]

This is such a bad idea... and I hope to god or whatever that this does not come true. TNA tried this and it failed miserably, and they actually had some better talent at the time. WWE's Divas are pretty boring and already take up more time on Raw than they need too. The Bella's are in the category of bad, so there statement just makes this worst.

AJ Lee really is the only real talent in the WWE, and possibly Natalia if they actually used her correctly. Total Divas is already making me go crazy, And this would be another nail in the coffin to an already lackluster WWE product.

 

[LODemolition]

Awful idea. There's only about a dozen Divas on the roster. So when you have a hard enough time establishing good feuds/matches for the singles championship, why add yet another title to that division? It wouldn't make sense to me.

Divas Tag Team Championships would only mean never ending matches between the Bellas and Funkadactyls.

 

[Redrum]

I hope they dont waste our team with this. Lets be honest the divas division is a joke and they are there to keep the boys in the back company (take that how you will) and give some eye candy. Most of them are crap and the ring and the best of them is lets be honest still not very good. I dont want WWE to have a excuse to have more then one divas match on a PPV ( the waste of space that it already is)

 

[kumarjtk]

if wwe create a divas tag tiltle. They need atleast 8 teams to perform as a tag team.


Right now they have
Bella twins
Funkdactyles
Aj lee and tamina, they are not a team
Natalya and emma as possible feature tag team
Summer rae and sasha banks in NXT

Thats not enough for tag team division. So create divas tag team championship is absolutely waste of time. Already divas division is not upto the mark.

wwe will make a strong divas division

Right now they have
Aj lee
Aksana
Alicia fox
Brie bella
Cameron
Eva marie
Layla
Naomi
Natalya
Nikki bella
Rosa mendes
Summer rae
Tamina
Vickie

Out of 14 eva marie, rosa mendes, summer rae, vickey are non wrestlers. So we have only 10.

Put aksana and alicia fox as a heel tag team.

Put eva marie and rosa mendes be a valet for a superstar, bcoz thats what they do.

if the tag divas like bellas, funkadactyles, aksana and alicia fox are wins the divas title then they use the FREE BIRDS RULE like LAYCOOL. Thats enough for tag divas

 

[jessejanzures]

The diva title barely gets noticed. No need for another. And not any good pairs besides bellas

 

[Pedigree1]

Horrible Idea and im being kind in saying this.. There is barely enough competition for singles bouts,not nearly enough for Tag Team division not even close.. Plus how many divas can wrestle worth a damn,two or three tops?? Plus in an earlier topic there was a discussion on what happens if the Divas miss a spot here and there.. The vast majority of them look lost like a deer in the headlights. It would be twice as bad if there was a tag team division and that happened! No thank you

 

[ADLegend21]

The divas are getting more and more popular by the week. I was at Old school Raw i Baltimore and in the superstars taping there were dueling "Let's go Nattie!/Summer Rae!" chants for their singles match. When the divas are given time to put on a good match they do. Look at the Kaitlyn/AJ PPV matches. They were some of the best Divas wrestling since the Beth Phoenix vs Kelly Kelly trilogy years ago cuz they put effort into it. The AJ vs Total Divas ran a bit long though. Also if they did start a Divas tag division you already have the Bellas and Funkadactyls, and even AJ and Tamina. you an team up four more divas to have to get tow more teams and you've got a Tag division. Put effort and creativity into it, maybe a gimmick match or two, and BAM successful divas tag division.

 

[Messiah]

Like it said in the article, The Bellas have been begging for Tag Titles for year's now. It's never going to happen, WWE doesn't invest in them as singles competitors, why would they bring in Tag Titles? There's not one diva on the roster WWE is invested in.

 

[Chococat]

Lol WWE already tried a womens tag team division. It didn't last. It's not gonna happen again. Ever. WWE can't even manage the current tag team division, why would they make another? Bellas don't know wtf they are talking about and only think because they are twins they should be in a special division.
Ask WCW, TNA what happened to their womens tag team belts

 

[russoswornouteraser]

2 Points:

1. In recent months the Diva's division has seemed to be improving in match quality. I saw a match on Smackdown recently with the Bella's in (involving Tamina Snuka) and was taken aback by how much the Bellas seem to have improved. However the division needs sustained matches based around storylines and emotinal investment before it can be considered in expanding the (possibly limited - see point 2) TV time allocated to the Diva's.

2. The WWE network is going to need content, so regardless of match quality, increasing the output of Diva related content - is going to be a given. Tag matches often provide opportunity to showcase performers without (adversely) affecting how much that they are over...

In addition to the above 2 points, the Bellas are close to 2 of the top stars (one of which being THE top) in the company, this influence is going to carry some (but difficult to say how much) weight.

 

[Rampage Bentley]

I think this idea is the epitome of terrible.

Who does this benefit outside of The Bellas? The Divas Division doesn't have the depth of talent to pull something like this off and even if they did, other than The Bellas and The Funkadactyls, everyone would be thrown together teams with no chemistry (not that the funkadactyls have chemistry).

And absolutely worst of all, we would have to suffer through more than one Divas match a night.... I don't know how many times and for how long I can logistically use the bathroom in a three hour span.

 

[Bash@theBeach]

Vinnie Mac doesn't even have enough sub-card talent to fill a competitive mens division of tag teams. There won't be nearly enough for any Bella below sub-humanoid wrestling.

 

[russoswornouteraser]

The point is there will be a rapid and massive expansion of TV output and "sub-card" or not, if it's possible to film it, it is going on "TV" soon.

Diva's wrestling, complete with a tag division is likely based on the success of that E! Diva's show.

Trust me, this is a lot better than the alternative:

Midget Wrestling, Tough E Nough etc.

 

[Dagger Dias]

The idea of Divas Tag Team Championships does not interest me whatsoever. The division barely has enough believable contenders for their current title. If you take all of the divas who are able to work a good match, you'd be lucky to even form two teams. So would the same two teams feud every single week while the rest all job in singles matches to the Divas Champion? That would be predictable and stupid. Not to mention the worst part of all.... We would be almost guaranteed to see The Bella Twins hold these titles. They do not deserve to ever hold any titles, let alone their former Divas Championship reigns that they already had. It didn't work in TNA during a time when their female roster was strong, so what makes anyone think it could work in WWE during a time when their female roster is still struggling? This should not happen anytime soon, possibly never.

 

[DexVendetta88]

The plain answer is "no" for a Diva's tag team division. I mean if it didn't work out for TNA in their Knockout division, what makes the WWE think it's gonna work for them? Also the way I look at the Divas division right now, it's pretty much dominated by one woman and that's AJ Lee. As much as the WWE tries to keep shoving the Divas division down our throats, the interest isn't really there. And adding another championship to the division just wouldn't help that cause.

 

[Cody Trail]

This isn't going to happen because WWE is in the process of unifying titles, rather than adding them.

Also, IF a Divas Tag Team Championship were created, it would obviously be made just for The Bella Twins. It makes sense that they were the ones who suggested it, because at this point, they probably realize AJ Lee buried their 2nd run and reality show beyond repair on live television last year, which probably killed any serious chance of either one of them holding the Divas Championship this time around.
