5. Decimating Your Tag Champs

Did an old WWWF tag team once haze and humiliate a young Vince McMahon? Because he loves making tag team wrestlers look like chumps in the name of putting over monsters.

Monday, it was the new Raw and SmackDown tag champs, Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode and The Revival (respectively) who were in the ring celebrating their victories the previous night when Braun Strowman stalked to the ring and destroyed all four men in a matter of seconds, running over Revival and Ziggler while Roode high-tailed it because he had a match later that night.

Presumably, this was to keep Braun hot after yet another Universal Championship match loss, but all you did was say that four champions were so inferior that they couldn’t even slow down one man – whom Seth Rollins single-handedly defeated 24 hours earlier.

Wrap your head around that one.
