WWE officials reportedly wanted to debut the new WWE NXT Women’s Tag Team Titles a while back.
Last night’s NXT episode saw NXT General Manager William Regal reveal the new straps, naming Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez as the inaugural NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions for their recent win in the first-ever Women’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. Kai and Gonzalez were then challenged by Ember Moon and Shotzi Blackheart, and dropped the titles to them later on in the show.
It was reported today on Wrestling Observer Live that WWE came up with the idea for the NXT Women’s Tag Team Titles a while ago. The original idea was for the Women’s Dusty Classic winners to receive the titles, but for some unknown reason WWE rushed the Women’s Dusty Classic and had it take place at the same time the Men’s Dusty Classic.
