What if Paul Heyman took over WWE Raw?

3. The tag team division gets a facelift

Paul Heyman is a master of building unlikely teams.

Paul Heyman famously loves the trope of tag team partners who can’t quite get along. Sure, other people have booked this storyline, too. But particularly between teams like Raven and Tommy Dreamer in the original ECW and Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit on SmackDown, Heyman has proven his ability to not only get these teams over but use them as a vehicle to freshen things up and further elevate top-shelf talents.

Raw doesn’t have a shortage of good talent, but it does have a lot of guys with no direction, and a lacklustre tag team picture—particularly relative to the thriving scene on SmackDown. There’s little question Heyman would make it a priority to fix both of these issues with some creative combinations for teams, as well as those teams freeing up singles spots for other under-utilized talents to get better stories and more face time on camera each Monday.
