It's been said that tag-team wrestling is a bit of a lost art in WWE; the truth is that Vince McMahon's patience for the medium differs week-to-week. One minute, he's all for it and tags like New Day, The Usos and The Revival are given proper respect. The next, WWE's finest duos are pushed aside in favour of short-term pushes like The Bludgeon Brothers or The B-Team.

At Stomping Grounds, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Xavier Woods and Big E proved why tag wrestling is so, so important to any pay-per-view. When it's done right, duos action can offer up something unique that keeps fans glued to their seats/screens. This could end up being essential evidence in any argument for tag-team work in WWE.

The heat section in particular was a joy to behold. KO and Zayn taunted Big E before the hot tag by beating down his pal Woods and gyrating their hips like absolute bullies. Then, when E did get involved, fans lost their sh*t and lapped up the comeback.

Give Kevin and Sami some belts now.
