2 Best options to dethrone Paige and Brie Bella as WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions and 2 worst options


Since capturing the Women’s Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 42, Paige and Brie Bella have been on a phenomenal run. They have been regularly defending the title across RAW and SmackDown. The two superstars have firmly established themselves as workhorse champions of the tag team division. What initially began as a nostalgic feel-good run has rapidly evolved into a prestigious and legacy-defining title reign in WWE.

Paige and Brie Bella have defended the Women’s Tag Team Title seven times as of late June. They went against almost every other tag team, but none of them succeeded in dethroning them. With the champions looking completely unbeatable, fans have been wondering who possesses the firepower to finally end their historic reign. However, Triple H must make this decision with absolute precision, as pulling the wrong trigger could instantly derail everything.

Here are the two best and two worst options to dethrone Paige and Brie Bella:

#4. Nia Jax & Lash Legend — Best

Nia Jax and Lash Legend have been one of the most prominent tag teams in WWE right now. The duo known as The Irresistible Forces represents the absolute best option to dethrone Paige and Brie Bella for the Women’s Tag Team Championship. Jax and Legend have been portrayed as an indomitable force on SmackDown, and their mere presence terrifies the entire women’s division.

Giving the Women’s Tag Team Championship to this destructive duo would set up a classic David versus Goliath mountain for the women’s division to climb. Nia Jax and Lash Legend could carry the prestige of the tag titles that Paige and Brie Bella have restored with their legendary run. This would also be a great way for the company to elevate both superstars before pushing them for a singles run.

#3. Michin & B-Fab — Worst

Michin and B-Fab have been getting adequate screen time on SmackDown lately due to their alliance with Jade Cargill. And WWE may therefore shock the world by putting the Women’s Tag Team Championship on the duo. However, this could be a bad decision. While both Michin and B-Fab are incredibly talented individual athletes, making them dethrone Paige and Brie Bella would feel incredibly forced and rushed.

Currently, neither superstar has any real momentum and their alliance with Cargill has done them no good either. Having B-Fab and Michin defeat a legendary team like Paige and Brie would completely diminish the prestige of the titles. It could be a catastrophe because fans may completely lose interest in those championships. Putting the belts on the heel duo right now would feel like booking for the sake of a surprise rather than long-term storytelling.

#2. Fatal Influence — Best

Fatal Influence has been dominating the women’s division since arriving on the main roster. The factions consisting of Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid possess incredible charisma and organic tag team chemistry that makes them a perfect choice to anchor the tag team division. Dethroning Paige and Brie Bella and ending their legendary title reign would instantly solidify Fatal Influence as the premier elite heel faction on the main roster.

It would bring fresh air into the tag team division. The promo battles alone would be absolutely gold with Jacy Jayne and Co. mocking the entire division. Fatal Influence capturing the Women’s Tag Team Championship would inject a massive dose of youthful energy into the tag team division, setting up months of fantastic storylines and feuds on SmackDown and RAW. It would be, without a doubt, the best decision for WWE.

#1. Chelsea Green & Tiffany Stratton — Worst

Chelsea Green and Tiffany Stratton have formed an unlikely alliance on SmackDown in recent weeks and WWE appears to be investing in it. The company often builds such an unlikely team to push them as a new tag team in the current landscape. And this raises the possibility of the duo capturing the tag team gold. While Green and Stratton sound like an entertaining gold mine, as a championship tag team it is the worst possible direction.

Both superstars are currently flourishing as major individual characters who demand the spotlight entirely for themselves. Forcing them into the tag division to take down Paige and Brie Bella would hurt their solo momentum. Besides, Tiffany Stratton currently holds the Women’s United States Championship. Therefore, The Buff Barbie dethroning the current champs along with Chelsea Green would look absolutely redundant at this point.
