10 Dreadful Wrestling Tropes That NEED To Die!
3. Two Enemies Are Tagging - BUT CAN THEY CO-EXIST?!
In fairness to AEW, Tony Khan's promotion have found a way to turn one of the most unoriginal ways to build a feud into a rather intriguing concept over the last year.
But for every MJF and Adam Cole or 'Salt of the Earth' and Samoa Joe example of enemies being forced to "co-exist" in a tag environment, there has still been the odd frustrating time when the likes of WWE and AEW have opted to chuck enemies into a unit together, just for the pair to inevitably turn on each other at some point in the mayhem.
Coming into this year's WrestleMania, WWE stupidly opted to have two of their best workers in the women's division just bicker a little in a tag bout before Asuka obviously targeted her partner, Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair, before the biggest PLE of the year.
That was the most notable moment of the utterly dreadful build. No epic or unexpected story. Just two talented women who couldn't get along before a 'Mania contest.
Even MJF, the king of "can they co-exist?", has been at the centre of a rather crap version of the trope earlier this year when his partnership with Double or Nothing rival Sammy Guevara went up in flames on Dynamite in a Pillars tag bout.
Put simply, despite the occasional co-existing hit, most would be happy to see this done-to-death trope superkicked out of the business entirely heading into 2024.
