Women’s tag team wrestling has become more and more popular within the WWE, much like women’s wrestling itself. For over three decades, the Women’s and Divas divisions in WWE lacked sufficient depth to warrant a tag team championship.
Between 1983 and 1989, there were six years that saw four different teams win the women’s tag team titles, with five separate reigns. But the WWF discontinued the titles in early 1989 because there were frequently not enough teams in the division to be genuinely competitive. The women’s tag team division would take a 30-year break before seeing women’s tag team titles in the industry leader again until early 2019.Under Vince McMahon’s creative supervision, the WWE at first struggled to put together winning tag teams and made a haphazard attempt to assign women to matches. While some partnerships would endure, others would either break up or inevitably become embroiled in conflict. Though Triple H’s creative leadership has put women’s tag team wrestling back on track, Sasha Banks and Naomi’s alleged walkout as the division’s holders raised doubts about the company’s interest in keeping the division going. The division’s brief existence hasn’t prevented the business from fielding a respectable number of championship teams over the years, thoughThe Divas of Doom, Natalya and Beth Phoenix, were born before tag team championships. The alliance was always logical. With the right booking and guidance, these two physically commanding technical wrestlers may succeed in either a heel or babyface character. They also have a similar appearance.The Hart Dynasty stable breakup led to the formation of the tag team. In an attempt to level the playing field against LayCool, Natalya acquired Beth Phoenix as a tag team partner during her feud with Layla and Michelle McCool. Even though their first partnership was short-lived, the pair would later get back together as a heel tag team, determined to destroy the careers of women who carried the “WWE Diva” stereotype. After Phoenix departed the organization, the two split up, but they got back together seven years later for a match at WrestleMania 35. They had been together for a whole calendar year. The Divas of Doom may yet have their day, even if Beth Phoenix still competes in the women’s tag team division and they haven’t yet taken home the title.The Glamour Girls, arguably the best women’s tag team of the 20th century, were made up of two extraordinarily gifted women’s wrestlers from the Rock n’ Wrestling era: Judy Martin and Leilani Kai. Although they didn’t make their WWF debut until 1985, Martin and Kai had been a team since 1979. Jimmy Hart, a.k.a. “The Mouth of the South,” became interested in the tag team and offered assistance. During an RFVideo interview, Kai revealed that Hart had approached her and Martin at the hotel pool one day, suggesting that they wear black and gold clothing, dye their hair blonde, and update their appearance to suit the current trends. Additionally, he took over as manager, lending the group immediate legitimacy in
