WWE Tag Team Division’s Continuing Problem

The WWE has not had a strong division for years and it doesn’t look like it will improve any time soon.

It feels like one of the most constant problems that WWE has been criticized for over the past 10 years – the WWE does not have a very strong, sustainable tag team division. It felt like they were going to fix that with the addition of Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady, as well as the Vaudevillians (Simon Gotch and Aiden English).

Great, so there’s more depth to provide more rivals for the New Day, the current WWE Tag Team Champions. The fans are already giving the proper pops to Enzo and Cass while also respecting how talented the villainous duo from the bygone era truly are. Not even a few months into their run, we’re already seeing stories like the ones rumoring a potential breakup through the upcoming WWE Draft.

While it’s highly unlikely that the WWE would split up a tag team that has quickly developed a huge following of fans across the country, the WWE has been guilty of questionable booking decisions. They’ve made strange decisions for several years now, which has impacted nearly every division outside of singles.

True, there’s always a need to look for the next great superstar so that there is depth for the main event picture moving forwards. We can’t just have Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins battle every month at the pay-per-view events. But that sort of direction has impacted mid-card championships like the Intercontinental Championship.

Additionally, we haven’t had the most consistent strength for the tag team division. There are apparently more teams, which should provide more matches and even more of a focus around the WWE Tag Team Championship. But there’s a reason that the New Day have held the belts for a majority of the past two years.

A veteran team like the Dudley Boys don’t feel like a threat anymore, the Usos are starting to fall and who knows if there is any long-term potential with the Golden Truth and Breezdango (probably not for either). While it’s great to see a Fatal Four Way championship match with Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, Enzo and Cass, the Vaudevillians and the New Day, that seems to be the end of the legitimate contenders list.

If the rumors are true that Enzo and Cass might be cut, that only impacts the tag team division even more. It feels more and more like what happened involving the Prime Time Players where Titus O’Neil and Darren Young found success with their “millions of dollars.” However, the team was split (twice) and we’re not sure if O’Neil is really considered United States Championship material, or if we can make Young great again.

Maybe it’s just me, but I would like to see more teams than what is currently on the roster. The only other tag team match on last Monday’s Raw involved two of the Money in the Bank ladder match participants and didn’t really help the tag team division at all. And no, the vignette with Primo and Epico doesn’t count.
