10 Mistakes WWE Can't Afford To Make With Hell In A Cell 2016

5. Gallows & Anderson Lose... Again

There’s no two ways about it: Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows have been rank failures in WWE. They debuted with a bang, but have fallen off dramatically, and their repeated failed attempts to become Tag Team Champions have left their reputation in the dust. They lose quickly almost every single week, and after flopping at Clash, losing at HIAC would be the final nail in their coffin.

Enzo Amore pinned Anderson on Raw, and all the momentum is on his and Big Cass’ side heading into Sunday’s tag match. The Realest Guys in the Room remain one of Raw’s most popular acts, but they’ve made little impact on the title scene, and spent most of their time messing around with The Shining Stars while Gallows & Anderson were collecting testicles and chasing belts.

Enzo & Cass are more than popular enough to absorb another loss here, and Gallows & Anderson desperately need the win. WWE will want to push Enzo & Cass into the title scene sooner rather than later, but if Gallows & Anderson fall, they’re just another Ascension. The former Bullet Club members have been portrayed as two guys who don’t know how to get it done between the ropes, and it’s time to reverse that trend before they completely jump the shark.
