WWE Introduce NXT Women's Tag Team Championships
We've already seen the new titles change hands...
Mar 11, 2021
WWE have announced the creation of the NXT Women's Tag Team Championships, with new champions crowned on Wednesday's show!
Following the controversy of last week's WWE Women's Tag Team Title match on NXT between champions Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax and Raquel Gonzalez and Dakota Kai, NXT general manager William Regal promised a landscape-changing announcement, which was the introduction of championships specifically for his brand.
As the winners of the first-ever Women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, Gonzalez and Kai were awarded the NXT Women's Tag Team Championships by Regal. However, Ember Moon and Shotzi Blackheart would step forward and challenge the duo, with a match made for later in the show.
In a rematch of their clash at NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day, the two teams collided, albeit this time over tag-team gold. However, unlike last time, it was Moon and Blackheart who got the win. Blackheart caught Kai in a pin, winning the titles for her and Moon while ending Kai and Gonzalez's reign just as soon as it began.
