The WWE's tag team division has been a bit of a wild ride lately, with a mix of old favorites and new faces. It's clear that something needs to change to make the division feel important again. Here's a breakdown of some potential solutions, with a heavy dose of personal commentary and analysis.
Feature Current Teams Better
The easiest fix is to give the teams they already have more opportunities. The Alpha Academy and Los Garza have the potential to be top teams, but they need more chances to shine. The Creed Brothers and Los Americanos have an interesting story brewing, and pulling on those threads could breathe life into the division. The discord within the Alpha Academy could lead to a tag team title feud, adding another layer of intrigue.
Reunite Former Teams
Reunions can be a powerful tool. The Trick Melo Gang, for example, could make a splash on Smackdown. Trick Williams and Carmelo Hayes, both on the rise, could form a dominant babyface tag team. Penta and Ray Fenix, after their successful runs in various promotions, could be a great addition to the WWE's tag ranks. However, some reunions, like Brooks Jensen and Josh Briggs, might be better suited for a feud rather than a reunion.
Create New Teams
Fantasy booking is fun! Sami Zayn and Johnny Gargano could team up, despite the latter's lack of a strong character. Chad Gable, with his Money in the Bank briefcase potential, could find a tag partner in a luchador like Rey Mysterio or Dragon Lee. These new teams could bring fresh dynamics and stories to the division.
Bring Back Old Teams
Enzo Amore and Big Cass, despite mixed opinions, could be a wild card. However, bringing back old teams should be a last resort. FTR, New Day, and the Motor City Machine Guns are unlikely to return, as their respective ships have sailed. The Wyatt Sicks might be an exception, but it's a long shot.
In conclusion, the WWE has a lot of options to fix their tag team division. It's about giving current teams more opportunities, exploring reunions, creating new dynamics, and being creative. The goal is to make the division feel important and engaging again, and there's a lot of potential in the current roster to make that happen.
