5 Ups And 9 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Nov 26)

1. What Tag Division?

Let’s recap the insane amounts of stupidity surrounding the Raw tag team division Monday night:

Lucha House Party are the shiny babyfaces who compete under special rules that allow them to gang up on their opponents 3-on-2 and not really observe tagging rules.

Bobby Roode & Chad Gable finally earn a tag title shot, only to get distracted for a solid minute-plus by a manager peeing on a robe, losing their shot.

AOP are the new, dominant heel tag champions who have cut a path to the top of the division, only to win their last PPV match and tag title defense Monday due to their ill-fitting manager literally pissing on camera.

The Revival is the purist wrestling tag team, the throwbacks who helped make NXT’s tag team division white hot in 2015-17. They’ve been busy losing to Lucha House Party and the B-Team in recent months, unable to get untracked.

The Raw tag division is beyond a joke. It has fallen so far off since two months ago, when Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre fought Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose over the tag titles. Now, the one dominant tag team has the titles, but they’re main gimmick is their pissing manager. And the serious wrestlers are bumping around like pinballs for cheating babyface luchadors.

**Insert facepalm here.**
