The Disturbing Truth About The (Latest) Death Of The WWE Tag Team Titles
It's perhaps better to blame the world 's problems on a man with the mind of a 10-year-old rather than an actual fifth-grader but thank Nicholas Cone for the plague atop Raw's house right now. Or at least thank whomever devised and signed off on the idea of the referee's son winning the straps alongside Braun Strowman at WrestleMania 34.
It was a "WrestleMania Moment" in the way WWE like to tell you moments are happening rather than simply showing you organically-crafted ones. It was...sort of funny, actually. The Bar, completely wrongfooted by Braun's decision but overmatched by his size and strength having their worst night on the worst possible night, but the future safety of the doubles division rested in the writing team's fire escape the following night. Contrary to that, it was instead a dumpster fire that hasn't yet been extinguished.
In the tradition of fellow superworkers Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold Steve Austin, Strowman and Nicholas lost them without losing them because the latter had to get back to school. Har har har. Another cute joke. Sheamus and Cesaro's credibility began to dissolve, not least when they couldn't beat jumped-up pantomime act Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt to win them back. Nor could The Revival, to be fair, but those feckless fools couldn't even beat The B-Team - the f*cking babyface B-Team for f*cks sake - as the straps took the same trip Alundra Blayze's belt did back in December 1995.
The systemic stymieing by this point wasn't just isolated to Raw either. Or even just the men, for that matter...
CONT'D...
