Rebooking WWE Bad Blood 2004 - 7 Ways To Make It Better

7. Shelton Benjamin & Edge Vs. La Resistance - WWE Tag Team Title

The actual version of Bad Blood 2004 kicked off with a Tag Team Title match featuring Edge and La Resistance, and this one will, too. Only I would have switched up Edge's partner, replacing Chris Benoit with Benjamin, for a number of different reasons. First, there's really no point in Benoit working double duty, and the World Heavyweight Champion performing in the opener and semi-main doesn't send across the message that he is 'the man'. The opener of Bad Blood 2004 was so-so and basically just acted as a way to set up the World Heavyweight Title match later in the show. This time, it would be given time to develop (around 15 minutes or so), ending with a miscommunication between Edge and Benjamin. This would, in turn, lead to some dissension after the match, with a full-blown Edge heel turn coming in the coming weeks on Raw (it really needed to happen earlier than late 2004).
