Just how bad is the Raw tag team division?

It’s so bad that the five tag teams who fought in a battle royal for a WrestleMania title shot all lost to Braun Strowman. While Strowman is an unstoppable force, the fact that the entire tag team division was treated like a bunch of jobbers illustrated that they are nobodies, a collection of cannon fodder troops.

You’ve got to feel bad for people like Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson and The Revival, tag teams who have talent and are capable of leading a division. Instead, they were on par with castoffs Heath Slater & Rhyno, Titus Worldwide and the Miztourage.

The only silver lining is wondering what that means for Braun Strowman. Will he pick his own tag team partner next week?
