WWE Raw's Tag Team Championship has been sidelined in recent months. It has been neglected and passed around to random teams without any real storylines. The list of Raw tag team champions in the year 2018 consist of only randomly made tag teams such as The Deleters of the World or The B-Team and the current champions as well.

Now, this is not because of the fact that Raw does not have quality teams, but most of the time champions have been busy fighting for purposes other than their titles. It is high time for WWE to do anything worthwhile with its tag team division of Red Brand otherwise it will suffer and ratings may dip even further. Here are five ways by which they can rebuild this stagnated division. As always we would like to hear from you as well. What do you feel about Raw's tag team division? And how it can be improved?


#1 Changing current champions

This two have some other jobs

They can learn this from Smackdown Live! which is fresh of a title change. The Dogs of War won the title by defeating the team of Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel after they were set to defend them against The Revival (which was developing into a really good feud). Their win created a lot of buzz and Raw certainly got a lot of eyes on it as a title change always does. But since then their reign has been a disappointment. It has failed to live up to the hype it created.

Even their feud against The Shield is not about the title but about bragging rights of Raw. They both are great performers and can do a decent job as champions but currently, they are in other storylines. So the best option is to take the titles off them and to give them to someone who are more better champions than them. Now who is that worthy team, we will see that in the next slide?

#2 The Revival

The Revival is arguably the best tag team in the whole of WWE right now but injuries to both of them at the wrong time cost them a lot of opportunities. But now it is time to give them the much-needed shot. They can really be a strong champion and can also be handy on the mic. They can deliver quality performance with all the superstars or teams available on the roster. Their match against the B-Team was decent but their match against Drew Mcintyre and Dolph Ziggler was critically acclaimed and was also rumoured to be loved by the man Vince Mcmahon himself. This indicates a possible future title reign for them, then why not right now?

They can put this division on fire with their skills and put some match of the year contenders as well. But who should be the first challenger to their reign?

#3 Booking The Revivals vs The AOP

since AoP has debuted on Raw, fans have been urging for a Revival vs AOP feud on the main roster. These two teams have created magic in NXT but now they should also be tried on the main roster. AOP has got the much-needed support of a manager in the form of Dave Maverick.

This feud has all the potential of being a contender for feud of the year award. Also, their matches can put the Raw tag team division into the limelight. They can feud for three or even four months. Colliding in different types of matches such as a steel cage match, a no disqualification match or they could also lead to a return of war game match to the main roster as well. They can certainly give us some memorable moments to cherish and remember. Their feud will be an example of technicality vs agile strength.

#4 Building other teams

Ascension has lost in the shuffle

Raw's tag team division is undoubtedly thin but it does not mean they have lack of talent but the fact is theirs a dearth of opportunities for the team. The Red Brand has teams like Breezango, Ascensions (which once looked like had a very bright future), and The B-team. Add in them the team of Chad Gable and Bobby Roode or Heath Slater and Rhyno. But the main problem is no team has any real credibility to their name. They had lost too many matches and even sometimes lost handicap matches to push a strong single superstar.

This teams should feud against each other but they should not just trade wins between them but should actually put impressive showings and should try to get themselves over with the crowd. This could also help in filling three hours of Raw with quality content. This will provide the likes of Tyler Breeze and Fandango to do something rather than being getting squashed in one on one matches against other superstars.

#5 Call-ups

They would be better serving on Raw

A switch from SD Live can certainly help teams like Gallows and Anderson or even Colons to get some essential TV time which they are failing to get on Smackdown Live! as it is just a 2 hours show.

Gallows and Anderson on Raw can feud with someone like The Revivals or The AOP. And maybe we may then get the dream match between The Shield and The Bullet Club members Finn Balor, Gallows and Anderson. This will not let tag division on either brand to become dull and repetitive and also will strengthen the Raw side.
