Triple H, Vince McMahon and pals seriously need to sit down and have a long, hard think about where they're going with the Women's Tag-Team division, because it's the sh*ts and has been for an age. Crowds clearly don't care about these matches for a reason, and that's WWE's fault.

Sonya Deville and Chelsea Green weren't even a team until super-recently, and there's been no attempt to explain why they're suddenly in cahoots. Meanwhile, the Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez smiling double act is still a real struggle and threatening to enter Finn Bálor circa 2017 levels of bland.

The finish also sucked. Morgan doused Green in water, which was apparently ice cold given her reaction, then rolled her up as Raquel helped out of view of the referee. So, the babyface champs are cheating bastards now? Where is this going, and why should people care?!

Yuck.
