9 Reasons WWE Draft 2016 Was A Colossal Failure
1. There Aren't Enough Tag Teams For Two Separate Rosters
In much the same way the women's division is going to suffer for being ruptured between the two shows, the tag team roster is also going to be facing the exact same dilemma. WWE was already floundering from a lack of credible teams as it stands, with several of them - The Vaudevillians, The Shining Stars, The Ascension - being nothing more than glorified jobbers.
The few standouts among the division were a step in the right direction, but that handful of entertaining teams with potential have now been split right down the middle.
Raw's tag team roster consists of the current champs The New Day, the massively popular Enzo and Cass, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows, The Dudley Boyz, Golden Truth and The Shining Stars.
SmackDown features NXT callups American Alpha (who are going to be breakout stars on the main roster), The Usos, The Ascension, The Vaudevillains and Breezango. It's hard to get excited about the arrival of the amazingly talented Jason Jordan and Chad Gable when outside of The Usos - great guys and workers who have admittedly grown stale - they have no one to work with other than a bunch of jabronis.
Obviously we'll see new teams put together and some will assuredly be split up, but the shallowness of the tag team roster in WWE is yet another reason why the brand split feels like it's destined to fail.
