There were encouraging signs in 2016, but 2017 showed us that, at last, tag team wrestling was in the sun once again. The tag team division was WWE's most reliable in 2017. When everything else was going bad, you knew that the tag team division would serve you up with something good.

The Usos were the lead team in this elite group, but The New Day, The Bar, and Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose all shined on the biggest stages. Even the less-pushed teams all had great years. Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin have done a good job together, Rusev and Aiden English have gotten hugely over with Rusev Day.

Breezango and The Ascension made us laugh with the Fashion Files, and of course, who could forget the return of the Hardy Boyz? Now with the Bludgeon Brothers on the rise and The Revival back from injury, the picture looks even brighter. I can hardly wait until the Authors of Pain and SAnity get called up.
