State of the WWE Tag Team Division = Arrow Pointing Up
Last night on Raw the Tag Team Champions, The New Day, competed in a non-title match against AJ Styles and Chris Jericho. Or should I say Y2AJ… yarf.
For as much as I despise that team name though, watching this match got me thinking about WWE’s tag team division. It was down and out for a long time, no doubt. Look at it now though. The New Day, heel Dudley Boyz, The Usos with soon to be debuts of NXT teams like Enzo Amore and Big Cass, Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson, and American Alpha.
Those are all fresh feuds and point that arrow way up for the future of WWE Tag Team wrestling.
Bray Wyatt is the New Face of Forgotten
Bray Wyatt’s WrestleMania opponents to date are John Cena and The Undertaker; both legends in the WWE and the wrestling business as a whole.
This year? Nothing.
There is a reason why Bray Wyatt was put in such high profile feuds right out of the gate in his career. He’s talented! Will someone in the WWE remember that please? With all the injuries to main event players on the roster, this would be the year it would make sense to give Bray something big.
At this point though, let’s just get him on the card. Otherwise, the new face of fear just becomes forgotten and uselessly wasted.
It’s Triple Threat time for the Divas Championship at WrestleMania
I know, it’s not official yet, but the seeds have been planted for the big triple threat showdown between Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, and Divas Champion Charlotte, at WrestleMania. Last night on Raw, Sasha and Becky both pinned each other at the same time which ended their #1 Contender Match as a draw. It was actually an awkwardly paced match, but it did its job in setting up this controversy.
The two women are going at it again on SmackDown but I fully expect more shenanigans in this bout as well. These three women were the pillars of the divas revolution in 2015 in WWE. While they’ll use the big moment to crown Sasha as the face of the division moving forward, each woman deserves that opportunity to shine.
WWE will regret not booking Dean Ambrose vs. Triple H for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania
If the WWE is listening to the crowd reaction that the Dean Ambrose/Triple H interactions even a little bit, they are regretting not moving forward with that feud for the main event at this year’s WrestleMania.
It’s amazing how much better the product is when the crowd is reacting the proper way per how the story is written. Ambrose/HHH give consistency to the entirety of WrestleMania and allows the fans to cheer for someone they like and want to get behind.
That is how WrestleMania moments are made. This mini feud with Ambrose and Triple H should put into clear perspective just how far away Roman Reigns is from being a top babyface in the WWE.
WWE confused us even more regarding Shane McMahon vs. The Undertaker at WrestleMania 32 inside Hell In The Cell
So The Undertaker is a McMahon lackey now?
I’m confused and so is everyone else. With the news last week coming out that a returning Shane McMahon will face The Undertaker at WrestleMania inside Hell in a Cell, the world was waiting to hear Taker’s response. Last night on Raw, we got that opportunity, but learned pretty much nothing from it. Vince says Taker is fighting on his behalf, Taker says ok.
How confusing is that?
You have the biggest legend and arguable the biggest active-ish babyface on the WWE roster who is now playing muscle man for Vince McMahon, one of the biggest heels in the company? Holding out hope here and excited about this storyline, but WWE, you had Undertaker use an appearance up for that?
Thanks for reading, everyone.
