#5 Confusing Booking

The earlier point of how WWE is not doing the tag team division any favors perfectly seams itself into this one as well, as the potential era-defining Raw Tag Team Title match of Ricochet and Alister Black vs The Revival, was a match the fans were looking forward to from a long time. These four men are the greatest stars NXT has produced, so it was no shocker that this match would turn out to be a classic, so did we get a barn burner?

Well, no we didn't, and it was not the fault of competitors, but it was WWE's urgency to set up a triple threat feud for the titles, and that hurt the competitors a lot. As just as this match was getting interesting, Bobby Roode and Chad Gable came out to the ring to take out The Revival which drew a DQ and ended the match. This induced the ire of Black and Ricochet as they proceeded to make the Roode-Gable team pay for their actions.

This was such a lazy way to set up a three-way feud for the titles, as this booking sucked the life out of the match, and in turn, took some momentum away from these teams, which is never a good thing when the division is in the state it is in.
