10 Things The WWE Universe Should Be Worried About Right Now

The Rock,
Why in the world would WWE bring back The Rock?

#8 Smackdown Live/ Raw Tag team divisions

The New Day, WWE,
It feels like The New Day day as champion is a band-aid type of fix.

Whether the WWE Universe wants to admit it or not, The tag team division on both brands has become by far the worst part of WWE's weekly programming. Not only is that evident by the lack of time and substance they have been giving the division over the last couple of months, but also by just how nonsensical the booking decisions are.

Take WrestleMania 34 for example, where instead of a true tag team match between Bruan Strowman, a partner of Braun's choosing and The Bar, fans were treated to a five-minute joke fest that involved bringing in an eight-year-old child to be Strowman's partner. Even worse, they won the titles with Nickolas doing nothing and then relinquished them the next night on Raw.

As if that wasn't already fluky enough, WWE came up with The B-Team, who ended up becoming tag team champions and even going on an undefeated streak for awhile in the process. With that being said, however, Raw isn't the place with lackluster tag team storytelling, as Smackdown Live suffers from much of the same problem.

A prime example of this is at The Extreme Rules pay per view, where WWE reunited Team Hell no and later had them jumped before the match could even begin. This led to Daniel Bryan taking on The Bludgeon Brothers solo, which ultimately resulted in a clean loss for Bryan to a barely established tag team.

In the end, the tag team divisions on both brands suffer from a mix of poor booking, non-compelling storylines and a litany of one-note gimmick characters that can't realistically have a title run built around them.

Maybe things will get better once The Shield and Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre start feuding for the titles things will change, but until then, it just seems like a lot of B team versus Revival versus Drew and Dolph.

As for Smackdown Live, they made the smart move of putting the titles on The New Day, but only after The Bludgeon brothers suffered an injury in a match. In the end, maybe the change would have happened anyway, especially with how vulnerable Rowan and Harper were starting to look as a team, but WWE still needs to make things interesting, which they have failed to do to this point.

Of course, The New Day is better than nothing though!
