You talkin' to me?
So, WWE tag team division is now revolving around The Usos and Miz/Mizdow. Though,there are some more teams namely, Goldust/Stardust and Los Matadores. Oh, I forgot The New Day,Cesaro and Tyson Kidd. The Ascension is in its infant stage. So, WWE tag team division is lacking right now because of less teams.
Why has it became stale?
What we had in 2014. 3 (say 4,if Rybaxel) teams were in limelight - The Usos, The Wyatt Family and The Dust Brothers. Only feud which delivered was The Usos vs The Wyatt Family and the best match was Fatal 4 Way at Survivor Series. We are watching repeated matches every week after week. Best tag team championship match in my memory is the championship match at Wrestlemania X7. It raised the bar of tag team division. Tag team division got stale after Team Hell No splitted. There has not been any gimmick match for Tag Team Championship other than that steel cage match featuring The Usos vs The Dusts which was as same as a regular matchup. Biggest problem is the lack of jobbers' team. They can't give throwaway matches rather than PPV matches.
What it needs?
How many teams the tag team division needs?
IMO, there must be at least 8 to 10 tag teams on the roster. 2 jobber teams and at least 6 main event teams.
Which teams must step up in 2015?
1.The Usos (with angry gimmicks) : We have seen much of the Usos. They need some gimmick change. No, I am not saying turn them heel but instedad make them angry type hunting for the brass ring. They will still be the babyface. But, it will look great.
2.The Ascension : This team has just stepped up and they are not going to split anytime soon. They are going to have a great run till 2016. This team is getting same treatment as The Usos got last year. So,they are going into Championship scene very soon.
3.The New Day (Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston) : Big E must go into the midcard and let these two work into the tag team division as they are great in ring workers. They must work as a faction but seperate for the Championsips.
4.Cesaro and Tyson Kidd : WWE's two underutilised talents are thrown into the tag team division where they are working as jobbers but,they deserve a championship shot. Also,they need a great name.
5.The Prime Time Players : Darren Young has healed up now and Titus O'Niel is also free. They had a great feud with Team Hell No and they will again do the same if allowed to.
6. The Lucha Dragons : No need to say much about them. They have worked great matches in NXT. Though, Sin Cara still needs some improvement but,its okay. They will serve as a great team. They can be called up in 2015.
7. Los Matadores : They are also underutilized. They are also used as jobbers. Let them be in the championship feuds. They put on great matches and can have a great luchadore vs luchadore feud in The Lucha Dragons.
8. The Dudley Boyz : Okay,it may be fantasy but rumors surrounding are them to return. They can be used as talent enhancement as well as champions. No need to say much about them.
9.Heath Slater/David Otunga : The division also needs some jobbers. This can be one of them.
