3 Reasons why WWE didn’t put the Women’s Tag Team Titles on Bayley and Lyra Valkyria

In the main event of Monday Night RAW before WWE SNME, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss defeated Bayley and Lyra Valkyria to retain their Women's Tag Team Championship. The Hugger got pinned by the Queen, and the pair of Lyra and Bayley failed again on RAW.

In this article, we will be looking at three reasons why WWE didn't put the title on Bayley and Valkyria on RAW before the special event.

#3. Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair need longer tenure

With the victory of Bliss and Flair, it seems that WWE has long-term plans for the fan favorite duo as the Women’s Tag Team Champions. This could be why Bayley and Lyra failed to emerge as the new titleholders.

After the Goddess was paired with the Queen, Charlotte started getting positive reactions from the live crowd. This shows that the team up is somewhat benefiting her. The extended title reign plans of Bliss and Flair contribute to the reason behind having no title change.

#2. Bayley and Lyra Valkyria don't need the title

Bayley and Lyra Valkyria competed as singles stars on Monday Night RAW. Even the Stamford-based promotion dropped hints for the Hugger’s heel turn on the former Women's Intercontinental Champion, but it has yet to unfold. Considering this, Bayley and Lyra's story doesn't require a championship.

Even WWE is expected to break their tag team in the near future, as soon as one of the stars turns and betrays the other. This could be why they suffered loss on Monday Night RAW, and Triple H didn't put the Women's Tag Team Titles on them.

#1. To plant seeds for Lyra Valkyra's heel turn in WWE

Fans are anticipating the heel turn of Bayley, but the Sports Entertainment juggernaut could be planning for an unexpected move. It's crucial to note that the Hugger was the one who suffered the pinfall loss, and Lyra didn't eat the pin.

This thing could be a major factor in the forthcoming weeks and might lead to the unexpected character switch of Lyra Valkyria. The 29-year-old star may get frustrated with the Hugger being the reason for their loss.

Due to this, she might betray the former Damage CTRL leader and turn heel on WWE RAW. This surprise plan could be another reason why Bayley and Lyra suffered a loss on the red brand and failed to be crowned as the new Women's Tag Team Champions.
