New NWA Women's Tag Team Champions crowned at Empower

Posted: Aug 29th 2021 By: Byan Rose

Allysin Kay and Marti Belle are the new NWA Women’s Tag Team Champions.

The duo, known as The Hex, defeated AEW’s KyLinn King and Red Velvet to win the titles for the first time. The finish had Velvet going for a frog splash, but Kay moved, sending Velvet crashing to the mat. This allowed Kay and Belle to hit an assisted AK-47 on Velvet for the pinfall, winning the titles. After the match, the two teams shook hands.

With Kay and Belle’s win, the NWA have officially resurrected the Tag Team titles that had been dormant since 1984. The last recognized champions were Joyce Grable and Wendi Richter, who won the titles in May of 1983. The next year, the NWA Women’s Tag Team and World titles were sold to the WWE, with the NWA opting to deactivate the titles.

Kay and Belle defeated Renee Michelle and Sahara 7 on tonight's Empower event to advance to the finals, while King and Velvet defeated The Freebabes (Miranda Gordy and Jazzy Yang).
