WWE Women’s Tag Title Unification Would Have Happened Sooner Without Injuries In The Division
In the WWE draft, we seen the NXT Women’s tag team champions being drafted to Friday night SmackDown.
This has created an issue with the tag titles, as there are two sets of the belts. On SmackDown this week, NXT champions Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn accepted a challenge from main roster champions Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler for a title unification match. The match will now take place in two weeks on SmackDown.
Fightful Select now reports that the title unification has been planned for a while and would have happened sooner had the division not been struck by so many injuries.

The Women’s Tag Team Titles are being combined, and there were several in NXT at the time of the formation of the NXT Tag Team Titles that were confused why they were being created in the first place. However, Fightful was told there were plans in order to combine the NXT and WWE Women’s tag titles going back to April when the WWE Draft occurred. We’ve been told that the WWE Women’s Tag Titles will appear on NXT programming when needed as was the original plan for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles. WWE sources indicated to us that this unification would have moved forward quicker, if not for the unfortunate injuries within the division.
We will have to wait and see who will come out with the victory when the two teams clash in two weeks.
