14. Tag Team Injuries

This is one item that is beyond WWE€™s control, but that doesn€™t make it any less frustrating or detrimental to the product. On paper, WWE should have a vibrant tag team division, with numerous duos vying for the WWE Tag Team Championships. In reality, however, some of the company€™s most viable teams have been shelved due to injuries. The biggest blow came at WrestleMania XXXI this spring when Jey Uso dislocated his shoulder, knocking WWE€™s best tag team out of action for about six months. The Usos held tag team gold for much of 2014 and had been the backbone of the division. More recently, Tyson Kidd went down with a serious neck injury, disbanding his partnership with Cesaro. The former tag champs weren€™t in the title picture at the time, but they were a reliable duo that could always carry a solid match.The injury bug also hit Erick Rowan, who had just reunited with Luke Harper and looked to be building up as a bruising team, complete with a new tandem finisher, The Way (the Dudley Boys€™ 3D).
