Sorry to any fans of the pair, but Dexter Lumis and Joe Gacy are the most uninteresting tag champs Triple H could've picked and this match proved it. Their scrap with The Street Profits felt like something that should’ve been on SmackDown instead of a scaled up PLE. Yeah, the division was much better off before The Sicks seized control, to be honest.

Again, not a bad match technically, just a little dull. That's the big problem with The Sicks. It's certainly something to feel like you’re working the death spot match when you’re second on the card. Perhaps the only thing of note here was some early tension between Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins, but we’ve been there before with that too. It didn't really go anywhere in the end, so there's no reason to expect things will be different in 2025.

WWE gave these teams around 13 minutes, but it felt like they'd given them 33. The whole thing was a slog, and it was only a matter of time before other Wyatt members poked their noses in to cost The Profits. Also, where were the other teams who'd been moaning about The Sicks taking over? Has creative just dropped that entire storyline cold?

If so, then they've left squads like DIY, the Motor City Machine Guns and more without anything to sink their teeth into on weekly telly. Bland would sum this match up, sadly. Those belts would be much, much, much better off on another team. Fraxiom, for example, or the dynamic Andrade and Rey Fenix tandem.

The Sicks are treading water.
