5 Superstars who were lackluster at WWE Crown Jewel

#4 Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins

Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins compete at WWE Crown Jewel

One of the more entertaining matches at WWE Crown Jewel this year was the tag team turmoil match, which saw The O.C. pick up the win and earn the title of the Greatest Tag Team in the World following the match.

The bout featured numerous tag teams including The New Day, Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode, Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins, Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik, Heavy Machinery, The Viking Raiders, The O.C., The Revival and The B-Team.

In the end, The O.C. picked up the win when they defeated current WWE RAW Tag Team Champions The Viking Raiders, but all of the tag teams in the match had a chance to shine with impressive showings in a match which was ultimately one of the highlights of the night. There was one team, however, who was completely lackluster in the match, and it will likely surprise no one to learn it was the team of Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins.

Ryder and Hawkins' participation in the match was very short-lived, and their presence in the bout felt unnecessary as they accomplished very little. The tag team continues to be used sparingly in WWE, and the lackluster showing at Crown Jewel indicates no serious plans for the team going forward.
