We hardly knew thee.<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s evident that a change of eras is occurring in the WWE currently, because when blets start changing across the board, it\u2019s a sure sign that we\u2019re about to embark on a new era, that won\u2019t officially be named, because they tend to happen organically based on the trend of whatever is going on.<\/span><\/p>\n At this point, there\u2019s been a new big gold blet introduced, Roman Reigns\u2019 two world championship blets have been merged into a singular gold variant of the same blet and called Undisputed, and just this past week on Smackdown, Asuka was awarded a brand new women\u2019s championship, which was basically the women\u2019s variant of Roman Reigns\u2019 gold variant, but with a white strap, because as the E has established over the last era, black strap = men, white strap = women.<\/span><\/p>\n Obviously, I\u2019m stoked that Asuka is the first one to hold the new women\u2019s gold logo blet because I\u2019m a fan of hers, and it seems inevitable that Rhea Ripley will be getting a new championship blet to replace the blue Smackdown variant, which if I had to guess will probably be the same thing as Seth Rollins\u2019 new big gold blet, but with a white strap.<\/span><\/p>\n The United States and Intercontinental blets were re-designed in the middle of the last era, so they will probably stand pat for a little while longer, and I suspect that the Unified tag team blets that are currently held by Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens will probably be consolidated sometime soon.\u00a0 But apparently the women\u2019s tag team blets are on the docket next, because we\u2019re getting this seemingly random and out of nowhere program pitting the WWE Women\u2019s Tag champions against the NXT Women\u2019s Tag champions who were drafted to the main roster without any resolution to what was going to happen with their NXT titles.<\/span><\/p>\n It’s not often where an outcome seems so overwhelmingly foregone, but I think it\u2019s safe to say that it\u2019s about the layup of the century that Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler are going to defeat Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn, and merge the NXT Women\u2019s tag blets into their own, with a new design possibly to come soon, or maybe not, if scuttlebutt is accurate and Vince McMahon has more influence than is believed because he clearly doesn\u2019t give a flying fuck about women\u2019s wrestling and probably won\u2019t bother redesigning their blets.<\/span><\/p>\n And a part of me hopes that doesn\u2019t happen, because it\u2019d be nice for the blets that I have replicas of for my daughters actually lasts a substantial amount of time, but that\u2019s beside the point.<\/span><\/p>\n The point is, the NXT Women\u2019s Tag Team championship barely lasted two years<\/a>, so it really is genuine to say, we hardly knew thee.\u00a0 Created because of a potential feud that went nowhere involving main roster talent versus NXT talent, the reality is that it was probably more for the WWEShop to have another replica to peddle, which reminds me that if they ever reduce the cost of these I might have to pick up a pair for my daughters, but what could\u2019ve been a great championship to the brand, was kind of bungled around over the last two years, primarily due to the re-branding, management changes, personnel changes, injuries and just a lack of good booking.<\/span><\/p>\n In a way, I understand why the WWE is pulling the plug on the NXT Women\u2019s Tag Team championship, but as someone who has always kept a close eye on the women\u2019s division and the growth of women\u2019s wrestling throughout the years, it doesn\u2019t come without a feeling of good riddance from the company, which makes me a little melancholy about it.<\/span><\/p>\n All the same, going back a step, I wish there could\u2019ve been a little bit more buildup for the match between the two teams, to at least give the ol\u2019 college try to sell Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn as threats to Rousey and Baszler.\u00a0 Most fans are aware of Kay Lee Ray, before becoming Alba Fyre, and how she\u2019s a phenomenal worker in her own right, way stronger than anyone else in this match and if I could get more granular, it also goes without saying that Isla Dawn is the one who\u2019s going to eat the L in this match, with the only question being whom she taps out to between Rousey or Baszler.<\/span><\/p>\n Either way, I don\u2019t anticipate this match going to be particularly any good, save for the moments when Fyre and Baszler are in the ring, as they\u2019re the two most competent workers of the foursome, but it\u2019ll still be sad to see the plug being officially pulled on a championship.\u00a0 I hope this means that once unified, the Women\u2019s champions can return to being floating champions, apt to show up on NXT every now and then, because I do love the idea of floating champions, and it would be great to see them once again.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We hardly knew thee.
