WWE fans who watch AEW will notice that Dynamite's mid-card frequently features more tag- team matches than RAW or SmackDowns. In New Japan Pro Wrestling, among other promotions, there is even a six man tag team title belt. For some fans, large tag team matches, with three or four members aside, is not their cup of tea; however, increasing the frequency of these sorts of matches on WWE television will be a net positive wrestlers and fans alike.

The superstars will benefit greatly from an increase in these matches. More six and eight person tag matches would allow WWE to showcase more of their roster, while providing their wrestlers valuable TV time to try and get over with fans. These matches would also reduce the likelihood of injury for WWE superstars; multi- person tag matches allow wrestlers to spend less time in the ring, thus reducing the toll each match takes on their bodies.

WWE would benefit from more tag matches as well, as it would mean they could save their dream one- on- one matches (Aleister Black vs. Seth Rollins, Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens, etc.) for their pay-per-views. Frequently when these matches appear on SmackDown or RAW, they are bait and switches or have lazy DQ finishes. Saving these matches until PPVs will force WWE to find clever ways to create anticipation.

Affording wrestlers, particularly in the mid-card, the opportunity to get over with the crowd is the biggest benefit, particularly because that is another area WWE can work on...
