The WWE Undisputed Tag Team Championships 

The tag team titles have been one for the past number of years and at first this was the right solution because WWE did not have Qualify tag teams on both shows so that there can be Separate Tag Team Championships for both Raw and SmackDown. However ever since Triple H has taken over WWE creative, there has been a surge in great tag teams in WWE and it Is time to once again have 2 separate tag team titles in WWE. And there are reports that WWE is planning to introduce 2 tag team titles with one for each brand.


Let’s look at the reasons for having 2 separate tag team titles in WWE for each brand


There will be 2 tag team champions in WWE which is always better


First of all , there will be 2 sets of tag team champions in WWE and that is always a better thing. The current Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions have so much responsibility as they have to travel to both shows and this takes away from the off days they get in WWE. The current tag team champions are not there every week on each show and hence the good tag teams do not get a chance to fight for the tag team titles. When this concept of one unified tag team champions was introduced a few years back it was the right move but now times have changed again. And the tag teams from both Raw and SmackDown would want Separate tag team champions.


More tag teams will be formed in WWE


Now looking at the current scenario there are only one set of tag team champions in WWE which does not give a lot of confidence to the other tag teams that they are as important as the men’s and women’s singles divisions as both have 2 champions where one is of each brand. By having 2 separate tag team champions, WWE and Triple H will send a message that the tag teams are as important and looking at that more tag teams will come together and they will see an opportunity to become champions. Tag trs like The Viking Raiders, Alpha Academy, Street Profits, Pretty Deadly and so many other tag teams are there. Then there are those from NXT like The Creed Brothers, Gallus, The Family who will be motivated seeing 2 tag team champions. 


Quality of tag team wrestling will improve


The quality of tag team wrestling in WWE has gone up by a few notches and all the credit for this has to go to The Usos when they were tag team champions. They elevated the tag team titles so much that they were in the main event of WrestleMania. After The Usos lost it at WrestleMania 39, the quality has taken a dip and the only way to fix that is by having 2 tag team titles in WWE. Tag teams like DIY can have bangers against any tag team, just the opportunity has to be given to them. 2 Separate tag team champions in WWE will give the teams in that brand motivation to have the better tag team wrestling matches as compared to the other brand and to elevate their tag team titles. There will be healthy competition and that will improve the overall quality of the WWE product.
