The tag team division future

[Spencesc11]

1) Reform Rhodes Scholars (neither is ready for a major singles push)
2) Bring back Morrison and pair him with The Miz again. Clearly WWE is not sure if they want Miz to take the US Title from Cesaro so maybe a tag-title run with Morrison would be better
3) Have MVP and Shelton Benjamin return as a team
4) Put Kofi and R-Truth back together
5) Break up the Prime Time Players by having Titus O'Neill drop Darren Young for Big E Langston. Langston and O'Neill Combo could be a monster team
6) Keep Rey and Sin Cara together
7) Bring back Dibiase and pair him with McGillicuty (call them "Million Dollar Perfection") cheezy I know but it makes them credible with reference to their Dads
8) And then with The Shield, Usos, Primo and Epico, and the new Tensaii/B. Clay combo you have more than enough teams to keep it interesting. And if they don't seperate the brands the tag titles should be defended at least once a week on either show to keep the intrigue going.

I don't even think it's as much about the actual teams but more about managements attitude towards Tag Team wrestling.

Triple H brought Tag Teams back into the major shows and Team Hell-No has become an actual attraction but that is only one team that was given the task of carrying an entire division and the only team that was close was Team Rhode Scholars which as we now all know was abolished for the sake of a Damien Sandow single's run.

They are teaming again at house shows so I think maybe the creative team has had a 2nd thought about the break up.

Shelton Benjamin is out of his ROH deal, and Charlie Haas might get storyline "suspended" in ROH. This seems like we might get a return of TWGTT in the WWE.

I really think they could have some really good matches and make some younger teams better.
Haas/Benjamin vs the PTP's (in they don't break up) The Uso's, Rey and Sin Cara, The Wyatt Family. They could even pull matches out of Brodus/Tensi.

Do you think they will return?
And if they do, who do you want to see them work with?

Well I'm pretty sure that Benjamin is working in NJPW. Besides, by the time that he was released by the WWE he had already left a legacy as a singles competitor, so the chances of the WWE bringing him back as a tag team competitor are pretty slim. Also, even if Haas got kayfabe suspended that doesn't give him the right to go to the WWE while he waits out his "suspension". It doesn't matter if he was legitimately suspended, he's still under contract with Ring of Honor. But I'm going to humor you and predict what would happen if these two somehow, someway returned to the WWE.

Well, they would probably just bring these two back to feud with up and coming teams like The Uso's, Primo & Epico, or the Primetime Players and eventually put the tag belts on them, give the two a credible reign, and then make them drop the belts to a new tag team to put that team over and give them credibility. With the belts gone, history would repeat itself and Haas would fade into obscurity with Shelton winning multiple mid-card titles and becoming a mainstay in the mid-card division, staying there forever, with creative never realizing Benjamin's true potential. So if they could somehow sign both of these men and follow through with my aforementioned ideas, then I see no problem with them coming back.

I really miss the rub that AW gave the tag division last year. Even though the teaming with PTP was very natural, he actually made me interested in Primo and Epico. I think the remaining tag teams like The Uso's and Primo and Epico could use a mouthpiece to get over in the future. PTP doesn't need one, but they need more mic time and can actually transition to face rather easily. I feel those three teams can carry the division if played right. Add in Kidd and Gabriel and those are 4 teams that can really go in the ring.

I like Tensai and Brodus. They're big and fun. Being if means the Internet hates you, but Tensai will help Brodus out, great worker. Could do a lot of fun stuff with the smaller guys.

The rest of the division is fun too. The ones that look like ey're splitting are splitting because they can draw more as singles.

I think the only way they can justify splitting up Rhodes Scholars is if Cody wrestles Goldust at Mania.

Until Kidd returns, I'd like to see Kofi become Gabriel's new partner. Kofi is never going to get past the mid card anyway. At least not without a major character change. These 2 would be a very exciting team to watch.

Miz and Morrison would be a welcomed reunion in my book. This might be the only way to get Miz over as a face, which they've looked very desperate at attempting the past couple months.


I like Prime Time Players, but if they're not going to get a title run, go ahead and push O'Neill as a singles wrestler. I think he can have a great future by himself.

Keep Mysterio and Sin Cara. I for one do not want to see them in a match against one another at Mania. I just don't care who the best luchador is and Rey is probably best suited for tag team matches in his older age and subpar shape.

Teaming up DiBiase and Hennig is a great idea to make them both relevant after looking hopeless for as long as I can remember.

Tensai and Brodus as a team is better than what each had going on their own, so I support this team.

The Usos and Epico & Primo can put on some decent matches. I wouldn't be against an eventual title reign for The Usos.

Ambrose and Rollins should be the next champs IMO. Give some matches on a regular basis and build up their feud with Hell No even more before lettin them dethrone the champions.

Break up Hell No after a rematch or 2 with The Shield. They've gone as far as they can go as a team. Time for them to go their own ways and hopefully see Daniel Bryan be pushed in the World Title picture again.

[TempestH]

- Start pushing the Usos and the Colons
- Pair Zack Ryder back up with Curt Hawkins. Neither of them are going to get a big singles push any time soon.
- When Evan Bourne returns, pair him back up with Kofi.
- Pair Miz back up with Alex Riley. WWE likes to pretend that Miz is still important, but we all know that he isn't going to be in the hunt for a major title anytime soon, and we know that he's not taking the U.S. Title from Cesaro because despite Miz's depush, the U.S. Title is beneath him. Riley deserves a push simply because he's over and he's improved in the ring.

Also, don't break up tag teams to facilitate singles pushes. Most of the singles wrestlers are only going to be wrestling in tag matches every other week anyway. If you want to push someone like Titus O'Neil to singles championships, just give him the push but keep Darren Young around to run interference for him.

The tag-team division is very different today however as it has steadily become more of an after thought for WWE creative and officials. The tag-team belts no longer look prestigious but instead have been turned into bronze consolation prizes for members of the roster who at one point had potential to make it to the main event but since there is nothing else for them and WWE cant take them of air as some people have grown accustomed to them so they give them the tag belts as a way of keeping them in the loop ( yes that was all about Kofi and Truth). These titles are rarely defended though, there is no space on Raw for them to defend the titles apparently and they are lucky to get squeezed into a PPV instead of being sent to the pre-show. Looking at the Tag-team division now it's surprising to remember that the three way TLC match at Wrestle-Mania was for these titles.
