3. All Is Right In The World For The WWE Raw Tag Team Division

Has there been a more criticized aspect to the WWE in recent memory than the WWE Raw tag team division?  For as much flak as the division has gotten from fans, it has been warranted and deserved due to the lack of attention it gets from the creative team.

Bobby Roode and Chad Gable had been Raw Tag Team Champions for a couple of months or so heading into last night, but their reign would meet the challenge of The Revival yet again.  Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder have had countless matches as of late in their quest to become the Raw Tag Team Champions, but through hook or crook, they have failed to win the titles every time.

However, after winning a number one contenders match last week, The Revival had one final shot last night against Roode and Gable.  In what started out as a match in which the live crowd was dead turned into one of the best tag team matches in a long time from the red brand that the crowd was on the edge of their seats for.  This match went back and forth for a while to the point where nobody knew who would win.

After taking the best Roode and Gable had to offer, The Revival finally came through and would pick up the long-awaited win to capture the Raw Tag Team Championship for the first time.  This was a feel-good moment that came far too late, but at least it finally happened.  Even if it doesn’t last, last night made you forget about the poor state of the red brand’s tag team division and it brought you back to better times.

All was right in the world of tag team wrestling last night with Dawson and Wilder finally reaching the top of the mountain in a fantastic match with Roode and Gable.
