3. Unifying the WWE Tag Team Titles
Last, but certainly not least on our list, the most definitive step WWE can take is to unify the men’s tag team titles. WWE can deliver a massive rubber match by pitting the World Tag Team Champions of Raw against the WWE Tag Team Champions of SmackDown in a spectacular ladder match.
The women’s division currently operates with just one set of tag team titles, allowing champions Paige and Brie Bella to alternate appearances between Raw and SmackDown. The same logic should be applied to the men’s division, but with an even bolder execution.
Rather than just having the champions float between Raw and SmackDown, they should also make occasional appearances on NXT. This strategy will elevate the visibility of the developmental brand’s tag teams, giving them a rare opportunity to advance their careers by pursuing tag team gold.
WWE’s men’s tag team division isn’t suffering from a lack of talent, but rather a lack of identity. By consistently dismantling established duos like The New Day or the Motor City Machine Guns, the company treats the division like a launchpad rather than a premier destination.
Tag team wrestling thrives when it delivers dynamics that singles matches cannot replicate. To fix the current issues, the company needs to let teams grow together and, most importantly, allow them to build their reputations. Until WWE implements these changes, the division won’t be exciting, remaining exactly what it is today: stagnant.
