Ups...

5. Real Tag Team Wrestling

After the Raw tag division had been treated as a joke for a while, it was good to finally see two teams have an honest-to-God match that featured solid wrestling on Monday.

The tag title match between Bobby Roode & Chad Gable and The Revival wasn’t a superb match, but it was good enough, with some double-team action, pin attempts and saves from partners. Scott Dawson & Dash Wilder got to showcase their skills a little (which is more than they’d done for a good while) and were evenly matched.

It’s going to take some work, but if they’re committed, WWE can resurrect the tag division with some good matches and actually getting fans invested in the teams and action.
