Ronda Rousey has been eyeing the women’s tag team division ever since losing the SmackDown Women’s Championship to Charlotte Flair on the December 30th episode of WWE SmackDown. Rousey returned to WWE programming earlier this month and aligned herself with Shayna Baszler. The former UFC star recently addressed the state of the women’s tag team division in WWE.

Following Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler’s interaction with Natalya and Tegan Nox on SmackDown this week, the former UFC athelete compalined that the entirety of the Smackdown tag division is Natalya plus whatever “poor soul” she can recruit.

Ronda Rousey also called out Damage CTRL for rarely defending the Women’s Tag Team Championship on television. Taking to Twitter, Rousey expressed her frustration with the women’s tag team division on the blue brand.

“Apparently the entirety of the Smackdown tag division is @NatbyNature plus whatever poor soul she can recruit to her lost cause this week. #USOs defend their title every week, #DamageCNTRL has defended like twice in 6 months. What the hell is going on here?”

Ronda Rousey’s scathing comments did not sit well with Bayley, who responded with a stern statement to shut down The Baddest Women on the Planet. Bayley replied to Rousey, stating that IYO SKY and Dakota Kai regularly defend the Women’s Tag Team Championship at live events:

“Please spell the champs name right. And then show up to some live events and watch them defend the tag titles weekly.”

After losing the SmackDown Women’s Championship to Charlotte Flair, Ronda Rousey declared that her goal is to win the Women’s Tag Team Titles. Recent rumors have also suggested Rousey and Shayna Baszler getting a shot at the tag team titles at WrestleMania 39.

The current storyline indicates that Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler would potentially challenge IYO SKY and Dakota Kai for the Women’s Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 39. However, things could change on the upcoming episode of Monday Night RAW.

IYO SKY and Dakota Kai are set to defend the Women’s Tag Team Championship on RAW this coming week against Becky Lynch and Lita. And a title change could possibly be on the cards ahead of WrestleMania 39. According to fan speculations, Lynch and Lita are much bigger stars than SKY and Kai, and therefore a title change could be on the cards, which may lead to Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler squaring off with Lynch and Lita at WrestleMania 39.
