7 Biggest Missed Opportunities From WWE Survivor Series 2018

7. Lack Of Strong Tag Team Matches

It goes without saying that tag team wrestling is the foundation upon which Survivor Series was built. The classic five-on-five traditional tag team matches have been a staple of the event since its inception and they are undoubtedly a part of the furniture. Unfortunately, WWE doesn't know how to look after that furniture.

All in all, there were four tag team matches that took place during the evening, with three of them being traditional Survivor Series elimination matches. Ranging from bad to messy to mildly decent, none of them really delivered what they should have at the major event. The creative team could have used the event to enhance WWE's flailing tag team division, but even with main-event superstars in the mix, these tag matches couldn't tell a strong story, once again highlighting how the company struggles to make the division mean anything.

Speaking of its tag team division, perhaps the biggest offender of the evening was the champions vs. champions tag team match between AOP and The Bar. This was a chance for Raw's new tag team champions to really prove themselves as they faced off against hardened warriors Sheamus and Cesaro. Instead, we got nothing more than a straightforward, run-of-the-mill house-show match with a cringe-worthy comedy-infested ending.

While Survivor Series did have some great outings, none of them were tag team matches and, as the event was built upon tag team wrestling, this can't be seen as anything other than a major letdown.
