8. Cuppa' Wasters

While Jeff Hardy and Cesaro soared representing their respective units, the forgotten foursome of the Raw tag division were left to fester in a meaningless television match that damaged the losers far more than it championed the winners.

Enzo and Cass were notably ignored in the 'Superstar Shake-up', with no promo time on Monday Night Raw and no salvation in the form of a move to Smackdown Live!

Their latest defeat against Gallows and Anderson will impact them little in the long run of course. The company will remain reliant on the pre-match spiel to draw reaction and sell t-shirts in precisely the same way way it did with The New Day after they lost the Tag Team Titles back in December.

Amore and Cassady are virtually bulletproof, which unfortunately means they will most likely stare at the lights when the stakes are low. Invariably, things will remain the same until the creative team get bored and split them up entirely.

Things don't look much rosier for The Club, but a win at least re-establishes them as Raw's best heel squad until The Revival's eventual return.
