WWE: 10 Reasons Tag Team Wrestling Just Got Great Again

3. Match Quality

Different to match length is the quality of matches put on by the division lately. The Shield's first match together on the main roster at TLC was a thing of beauty. Expert storytelling. The Shield have almost single-handedly been main eventing RAW and Smackdown with people like Cena, Bryan, and Punk, as have the Wyatts in recent times. This is largely down to the quality and performances that they put in each time. You know you are getting a solid main event if you put an expert storyteller like Ambrose, a fantastic wrestler and seller like Rollins, and a man with epic presence like Reigns together against top opponents. The trust that the WWE put in the tag division is largely because of the quality of matches they can rely on. The Shield's matches put bums on seats. Wyatt's antic in the ring with the upside down possessed spider move and Harper's wicked clothesline have people gasping. Cesaro swinging giants like they were made of cardboard round the ring has got the man who Vince McMahon decided should run to the ring whilst yodelling over with crowds. With this trust, the tag division has been left to flourish.
