WWE: 3 reasons why Men’s Tag Titles should be unified at Superstar Shakeup 2019

More matchups, more awesome wrestling

It’s a shame that WWE doesn’t spend more time cultivating its tag team divisions, particularly the Raw Tag Team Division on the promotion’s three-hour flagship show, because it is incredible how many talented tag teams there are on the roster. The likes of Sanity, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, and now Shinsuke Nakamura and Rusev are high-quality teams. Some of them find it difficult to get on television, whereas others find themselves isolated on the brand where tag team wrestling doesn’t feel important.

By unifying the titles, WWE would effectively minimize the brand split for tag teams, and it could lead to more dream matches, like when Matt Hardy suddenly joined his brother Jeff to reform the Hardy Boyz on SmackDown.

Though it could leave the other tag teams in a bind without titles meant for their brands, there could still be more surprise appearances for the likes of Hawkins and Ryder or Nakamura and Rusev, in addition to regular contender’s matches.

WWE has its core teams in The Revival, The Usos, The Bar, and The New Day, and they can have amazing matches on any given night. Why restrict their brilliance? And for the other tag teams on the periphery, such as Sanity, they could get a second wind with unified titles; sudden interference is befitting of Nikki Cross and Eric Young’s crew.

You know how Aleister Black and Ricochet dazzled audience on all three brands? That’s what could happen for other teams with unified titles.
