WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship Status Update

As noted before, WWE stripped Sasha Banks and Naomi of their Women’s Tag Team Championship following a walk out incident over creative issues during the May 16th RAW show in Norfolk, Virginia. WWE announced at the time that they would be holding a women’s tag team tournament to crown a new Women’s Tag Team Champion at some point in the future.

Fightful Select reported that several WWE talents recently spoken to stated that they have not heard of any plans for a Women’s Tag Team Championship tournament to be held any time soon. Those spoken to also stated that they have also not heard of anything regarding the status of the tag team titles since Banks and Naomi were stripped of their titles.

Logan Paul Comments on His Decision to Sign with WWE

A recent episode of the Impaulsive podcast featured co-host Logan Paul discussing his reasons why he decided to sign an official contract with WWE.

“It is true, I signed a multi-match deal with WWE and we announced it. It went crazy viral and I love the response. People are excited to see me in WWE. For me, there is a trifecta that I look for that decides what I do. I say this with privilege, because I can do this now because of the decades of hard work I put in. When I can mix passion, business, and media all into one thing, I’m ultimate me, happy place. Passion, when I did WrestleMania, I had so much fun. All my friends had fun, we were all smiling. It was awesome. I was looking at the clips, ‘I can’t believe that was me. Those were big jumps.’ Business, it’s smart, they pay well. WWE, it’s a big organization. Media, it’s a show. It’s great performance and entertainment. I’m excited for this journey and I am well aware of how powerful of a launch pad it can be for whatever I want to do in life. Besides this show, my visibility online is not a lot. I’m not uploading on my main channel ever. I do this show every week and I do this and that, but WWE is a good opportunity for me to leverage one of the biggest brands in the world for my own, should I show up. Should I work hard. Go do the performances, impress the fans, and become that WWE character that is notorious or loved. I don’t know if I’m going to be a heel or babyface.”

Paul also gave his thoughts on him not preferring to play a face or heel character in WWE.

“I’m just not a heel anymore, but if they don’t fuck with me…I will be coming for the Miz at SummerSlam. He’s delusional. He still thinks we’re partners, that we’re cool and we’re not. I will slam him hard.”
