The Start of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Title Tournament Starts Tonight

WWE will start the tournament to find the new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. The Titles have been vacant since May 20th, after Naomi and Sasha banks walked out of the company. Adam Pearce announced the tourney on Smackdown and it starts tonight on Raw. Will we see old teams like Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss reunite? Will we see NXT tag team call up like Toxic Attraction? I’m assuming we’ll get an odd couple pairing like maybe Carmella and Asuka. Regardless of who wins, the tournament should determine worthy champions.

That begs the question. What about the former Champs? Naomi and Sasha Banks. There’s speculation that they could return and challenge the Champs of this tournament. It would create an intriguing storyline, the former Champs returning for a battle with the current Champs. One we’ve seen many times. Thinking back to Shawn and Razor, and of course Punk/Cena. It’ll be interesting to see if they do a slow burn to this or if they get impatient and rush to the match. That is to say, if Sasha Banks and Naomi are indeed back with the company.

To give everyone a quick refresher before the tournament. I went through all of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions and listed them on video. I wonder if we’ll see any of the former Champs reclaim the gold.

Every WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles

Let me know if you’ll be watching WWE Raw tonight. I may do a Twitter Space to get the community involved a bit. I also want to know who you think will ultimately end up winning this tournament. I’m intrigued by the potential of this tournament, especially with Triple H leading the ship.

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years. How t...

If John Cena Beats Cody Rhodes he Technically Becomes an 18-Time World Champion

John Cena won the Elimination Chamber on Saturday night and secured an Undisputed WWE Championship match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania this April. What followed was a shocking heel turn that fans have wanted for years. That’s not what I’m talking about here. We’re talking about how John Cena will technically become an 18-time World Champion if he beats Cody Rhodes. That would put him two ahead of Ric Flair. Ever since Roman Reigns beat Brock Lesnar to unify the WWE Championship and the Universal Championship. From that point on, WWE recognized Roman as having two Championship reigns. With the Universal Championship and with the WWE Championship. Same with Cody Rhodes when he beat Reigns for the Undisputed Championship at last year’s WresteMania. If you look at WWE’s website it shows two concurrent reigns for Cody. If Cena beats Cody it’s always possible that WWE in the future recognizes this as one World Title reign instead of two. There’s a few of Flair’s reign...

Bobby Lashley Issues Warning to Jon Moxley

Bobby Lashley debuted in All Elite Wrestling on October 30th last year, rejoining his former WWE stablemates MVP and Shelton Benjamin, forming The Hurt Syndicate. Lashley and The Hurt Syndicate are one of the hottest acts in AEW right now with Lashley and Benjamin winning the World Tag Team Titles last month. It’s inevitable that Bobby Lashley will get a World Championship shot at some point. He’s very over right now and a legit main event talent. Lashley gave a warning to AEW World Champion Jon Moxley when speaking to the Sporting Tribune . Lashley said it’s only a matter of time till they face off but he’s focused on his tag team right now. Lashley said that when Jon Moxley sees him in the locker room, he stays clear of him. Despite being cheered like a babyface, Bobby Lashley is a heel and Jon Moxley is also a heel so I don’t see them facing off soon. But I like the idea of a Moxley/Lashley match whether it’s for the Title or not. Saying that, I’d also be a fan of Bo...
