WWE Elimination Chamber 2017 - 6 Positives And 4 Negatives 

10. Negative: Handling Of The Tag Teams

Starting with the negatives, one aspect of the build that’s left something to be desired has been the handling of the tag team division.

With current champions American Alpha in desperate need of some challengers, rather than looking to assemble a meaningful feud, it seems like the writers just hit the panic button and threw anyone and everyone into the mix.

Last week, American Alpha’s open challenge was answered by the Usos. And the Ascension. And the Vaudevillains. And Breezango. And finally, Heath Slater and Rhyno. In other words: the entire SmackDown tag team division. This prompted a multi-man brawl that we could all see coming a mile-off before the obligatory 12-man tag match on the following week’s show.

It may have been effective in giving us a teaser for this tag team turmoil match that’s now scheduled for Elimination Chamber, but it all felt overly predictable. Plus, if American Alpha manage to retain on Sunday evening, they’ll have overcome the entire division in one fell swoop. Where are they supposed to go from here?

Hopefully this 12-man free-for-all is just a way of setting up something more compelling for WrestleMania 33.
