10 Lessons WWE Could Learn From Their Own History
10. Tag Team Wrestling Sells
The return of The Hardyz has given WWE’s tag team division a much-needed boost.
Their history in the company hasn't been forgotten, and their recent work outside of WWE saw them come in as stars. But with the cracks already beginning to appear in Matt's character, it feels likely that that star power will be taking them away from tag team wrestling. We can only hope that The Hardyz' brief returns to those roles will have reminded WWE of what they did in the past.
Back when The Hardyz, Edge and Christian, and The Dudleys were doing their thing every week, tag-team wrestling was more than just a bonus feature of WWE TV. Their epic rivalry was a reason to tune in all by itself. In fact, some fans were more excited about tag wrestling than they were the World Title.
This is something WWE seems to have forgotten. The biggest problem with bringing back The Hardyz is it highlights the lack of stars in the division at the moment. The New Day are over but no one buys tickets for them, and while people like other teams, they don’t love them. You can't blame the tag-teams either; they aren't being given a chance to steal the show.
WWE has some brilliant teams, and while they might not be able to headline WrestleMania, they could easily do Raw, SmackDown, and a few B-tier PPVs. History shows us that tag-team wrestling can shine, so let it shine.
