10 Times WWE Made A Massive Mess & NOBODY Cared
9. Halloween Havoc
Or, the belaboured and continued death of a barely-alive tag team division.
In 2017, SmackDown Live played host to a scintillating series of matches that appeared to be driven by the renewed interest in tag team wrestling - itself thanks to the innovative and electrifying reintroduction of it on NXT. There, the likes of American Alpha, The Revival and #DIY exponentially upped the workrate whilst the likes of Enzo and Cass and The Authors Of Pain infused it with dynamism and diversity.
The New Day and The Usos picked up the mantle on the main roster, trading the blue brand belts over a summer series that forged a new bond between the crowd and a doubles duels - one which drove another fabulous run of matches on Raw between The Bar and The Shield.
12 months later, and some of those key players were trapped in a Halloween hellscape - fighting over food as is always the case on special occasions on the blue brand, with the added ingredient of The Big Show and two heel turns in nearly as many weeks. Did you even remember the match or this arrangement of wrestlers as you read this entry? Precisely.
