Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler defeated Asuka and Charlotte Flair at the 2021 WWE Royal Rumble to win the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles. One night later, new allies Lana and Naomi won a Triple Threat match on WWE RAW to become the number one contenders for the titles.
Speaking on his After The Bell podcast, Graves revealed whether he was “in” or “out” on the storyline development. He immediately said “out” before giving his opinion on what is wrong with the women’s tag team division in WWE.
Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler were not a legitimate tag team before their first title win at WWE Payback 2020. The same could also be said for Asuka and Charlotte Flair before they won the titles at WWE TLC 2020.
Corey Graves on WWE’s legitimate female tag teams
Referring to the female tag teams on WWE RAW, Corey Graves said Dana Brooke and Mandy Rose are the only legitimate duo. The two women started teaming together in September 2020.
Graves added that WWE’s women’s tag team division should be viewed on the same level as the men’s tag team division. For that to happen, he thinks more legitimate teams need to get involved in women’s tag team storylines.
