Bayley and Sasha Banks changed the game by becoming the first-ever WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions 7 years ago!

Seven years ago, history was made inside WWE when Bayley and Sasha Banks captured the very first WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship — a moment that permanently reshaped the women’s division.
For years, female superstars fought to prove they could headline shows, deliver main-event performances, and tell long-term stories. The so-called “Women’s Revolution” had already elevated singles competition, but tag team wrestling was still missing a meaningful platform. Many talented wrestlers were stuck without direction, and teams would form and disappear without purpose. The introduction of the Women’s Tag Team Titles changed that overnight.
And fittingly, it was Bayley and Sasha Banks — best friends turned rivals turned partners — who etched their names into history.
Their victory wasn’t just about winning gold. It represented persistence. Both women had spent years pushing boundaries in NXT and on the main roster. They proved women could wrestle longer, harder, and more emotionally compelling matches than ever before. So when they entered the Elimination Chamber match for the new titles, fans already knew they were watching something special.
The match itself was chaotic, physical, and dramatic — everything a championship debut needed. Multiple teams battled inside the unforgiving steel structure, each trying to cement their legacy. But when the dust settled, Bayley and Sasha stood tall together, emotional and exhausted, holding titles they had publicly campaigned for. The celebration felt real because it was real — they had fought for the belts’ creation long before they ever won them.
Their reign instantly validated the championships. Instead of feeling like secondary props, the titles became a symbol of opportunity. New teams formed. Storylines expanded across brands. Wrestlers who previously floated without direction suddenly had stakes again. The women’s division was no longer just singles feuds — it became a layered roster.
More importantly, young fans saw representation. Tag wrestling emphasized teamwork, friendship, betrayal, and redemption — stories that connected deeply with audiences beyond wins and losses.
Seven years later, many champions have carried those belts, but the legacy always traces back to that first victory. Bayley and Sasha didn’t just win a match; they proved the division could grow again.
They didn’t simply hold history — they created it.
