We understand this trade flies in the face of prior suggestions that WWE turn SmackDown into the 'wrestling show' compared to Raw's 'sports entertainment' feel. After all, what are Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin if not an old-school wrestling tag-team?

Those are the key words: "old-school". Over on Raw, Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson are using that gimmick but have nobody to work with. Once they've battered a few jobber teams and cut a few promos, WWE will likely lose interest and their claims to bring traditional tag wrestling back will count for nothing.

That's where Gable and Benjamin come in.

By presenting Gable/Benjamin vs. The Revival as a competitive feud that's all about the actual matches themselves, WWE could make both teams more meaningful. Throw The Bar into the mix as interested onlookers and Raw would have some seriously great tag matches again.
