Can Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez help elevate WWE‘s Women’s Tag Team Division to the next level?
On the latest episode of WWE After The Bell, Corey Graves admitted that the women’s tag team division in WWE has never been strong. But Graves is hopeful that Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez can help stabilize the division going forward.
“The champions are going to drive the ship in the women’s tag division. It was really important for Liv and Raquel to emerge victorious and, as far as the women’s tag team championships go, I’m probably going to catch hell for this; it’s never really caught fire,” Corey Graves admitted. “It’s never been a strong division. It’s sort of been an amalgam of thrown-together tag teams. ‘I’m going to team with this person tonight; we have a tag title match we didn’t win; okay, time to get a new partner.’
“It’s always been very transient and constantly in flux. I’m talking the entire existence of the titles since the very beginning. Liv and Raquel could be a duo who have what it takes to solidify the division and maybe sit on top for a while and maybe inspire some other superstars who aren’t getting the opportunities they so desire right now, who want more TV time, who want promo time, but they’re not getting it for whatever reason.
“Maybe somebody sitting backstage or in catering or a couple people sitting in NXT are going, ‘You know what, let me make a run for this.’ We haven’t had a serious, full-time tag team, in my recollection. The IIconics (Peyton Royce & Billie Kay) are the closest we had to hold the titles because they were a full-time act together. The rest have sort of been, ‘Hey, be my partner. Okay, we’ll have a little run, okay, onto the next.’ Everything feels temporary. Raquel and Liv could be very good for the division.” [H/T: Fightful]
