WWE Superstar Shakeup 2019 will begin next week on April 15 in Montreal, and one twist we’d like to see is the unification of the Men’s Tag Team Championships.

In February Sasha Banks and Bayley became the first Women’s Tag Team Champions, and the appeared on both Raw and SmackDown Live to seek challengers for their titles at WrestleMania 35. Part of what makes the Women’s Tag Titles extra exciting is the fact that they have appeared on three of WWE‘s brands – Raw, SD, and NXT.

WWE should consider doing the same on the main roster with its Men’s Tag Team Championships. The Raw Tag Team Titles, currently held by upstarts Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder after their feel-good win at WrestleMania, and the SmackDown Tag Titles, currently held by The Hardy Boyz after their sudden victory on the SmackDown after WrestleMania, have been prestigious at various points in their history. However, it’s been rare that both feel like a big deal at the same time, because, after the first Superstar Shakeup, one brand’s tag division has often felt more stacked than the other’s.

So here are three reasons why unifying the Raw and SmackDown Tag Team Championships could be a welcome change, even if it might seem like there will be less to go around with one title removed from the equation.

(Note: Of course, the crux of the issue is whether or not WWE cares enough about tag team wrestling.)
