Vince McMahon made the announcement on the Christmas Eve edition of Monday Night RAW that the company will be introducing WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships in 2019.
It had been rumored for the majority of the year that the Women’s Tag Titles were being planned and designed, but apparently one thing after another came up causing the delay in making the announcement. According to a report for Belt Fan Dan, the original plans for the Women’s Tag Titles were slated to have been introduced around SummerSlam last year, with Bayley and Sasha Banks rumored to have been the first champions planned.
According to the report, WWE wasn’t very happy about the response from fans over the leaked images showing the original planned design for the Women’s Tag Belts, so they dropped their initial plans. Belt Fan Dan’s report said:
“The old female Penny Style tags were delivered early Summer like I reported. WWE did not like the final product nor the reaction to the leak.
Original plan was the Bayley/Sasha feud was to lead to them winning the womens tags around SummerSlam. Then plans changed and reworked with Evolution in mind, then scrapped.
New designed belts were ordered and as seen, Wildcat did them as well. I was not told when to expect them, but Sasha/Bayley are still supposed to be heavily involved.
This is not the first time WWE has had new belts made only to scrap them. Several years ago, they had a new ECW belt made with a diamond plate texture main plate and chain link side plates with removable nameplates. This belt was never used because apparently CM Punk did not like it. It resides today in the best chest at the WWE warehouse.”
