Speaking of the tag division, WWE can't seem to do anything right with the Tag Team Championships at the moment. Clash of Champions brought a fun sprint between The New Day and Gallows & Anderson, and the interference finish at least gave The Club the slightest caveat on which they could pin the loss.

There were grounds for a rematch, and it took place last night. While the action was enjoyable enough, Gallows & Anderson took yet another loss to the long-reigning champions, but it was as clean as a whistle this time. They've now lost countless opportunities at the gold, and WWE's hopes of ever presenting them as a credible force are dead in the water. They're as threatening as The Golden Truth at the moment, and for a tag team once dominated NJPW's heavyweight tag scene, that's incredibly depressing.

The New Day, meanwhile, gain absolutely nothing from beating them again. Their dominance over Gallows & Anderson is already well-established, and they've often had their way with the former Bullet Club stalwarts on television as well as PPV. Last night's match is just another forgettable victory in a reign full of them.

Raw's tag division isn't in a good place at the moment. With The New Day's act close to jumping the shark, Gallows & Anderson finished, and Enzo Amore & Big Cass focused elsewhere, it's in dire need of a refresh.
