Raw Tag Team Championships: Stop Treating the Division Like a Joke

The B-Team’s title win at Extreme Rules was both a bit shocking, and the post-match celebration was decently funny. However, the B-Team were definitely not what the Raw Tag Team Championships needed right now.

In fact, quite the opposite.

The red brand’s tag titles feel like a big joke, and while that might be fine for some titles in other promotions, the tag titles of the world’s most popular wrestling show have been too goofy for too long. Even during their championship photoshoot, the B-Team looked so, so cheesy. And yet, never out of place.

Not to say that wrestling can’t be goofy, don’t get me wrong. The B-Team can be hilarious and at most other points in history, they might be a breath of fresh air to a stale division. But, they’re about three reigns too late on the comedy train.

Before the B-Team were the Deleters of Worlds, the semi-threatening goofball supernatural team of “Woken” Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt. Though the two characters work well together, it doesn’t change the fact that their B-grade horror movie antics are almost as goofy as the B-Team. Two is a coincidence, but three is a pattern. At WrestleMania 34, Braun Strowman won the tag teams, basically all by himself, since an actual ten-year old child was his partner.

Having to go back to January to find a good Raw Tag Title win is…annoying. When The Bar won it from Jason Jordan and Seth Rollins in January, it felt like the tag division might be going in the right direction. And then the WWE threw it all away for a bit. Hopefully it gets back on track soon, just…stop treating the tag division like a joke.
