This week WWE announced that the first ever WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions would be crowned at February’s Elimination Chamber. The event will see 3 Raw teams combat with 3 SmackDown teams inside the Elimination Chamber itself.
Both the championships and the matchup were revealed this past Monday on Monday Night Raw by Alexa Bliss during her new talk show segment, A Moment Of Bliss.
Since then, the entire WWE roster has had an opportunity to soak in the news, and many are already staking their interest and claim on the belts.
Going For Gold
Naomi, who had been in a series of tag team matches with Asuka prior to her winning the SmackDown Women’s championship, said, “I need a ride or die partner ASAP!”
Sonya Deville reflected on her and Mandy Rose entering the chamber to make history last year, promising that they’ll “do it again and become the first ever women’s tag champs!”
Wow. Last year @WWE_MandyRose and I stepped inside the chamber for the first time to make history this year we’re gonna do it again and become the first ever women’s tag champs! #CountOnIt #FireandDesire https://t.co/pIlxt5phnJ
