3. An Interesting Tag Division

Despite the sheer number of tag teams WWE is dissolving due to the draft, we got a look at a promising start to Raw’s new tag division.

Sure, the only new ingredient was the Street Profits, but they had a nice little match against tag champs RK-Bro before AJ Styles & Omos interfered, triggering a DQ and subsequent beatdown of all four men. The personalities all mesh together well, and there could be some really good matches between the teams and individuals.

Throw in the Dirty Dawgs, Alpha Academy, Hurt Business, the Mysterios and Lucha House Party, and you actually have a pretty decent tag division… if WWE ever decided they cared about it and wanted to book it properly.

But we saw the three teams currently at the top interact, and it looked fun for at least one night.
