If you’re upset with the current landscape of WWE’s tag team division, we have some good news to pass along. Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that WWE officials are planning on reviving tag team wrestling. Several WWE tag teams have reportedly been told they’ll be receiving big pushes soon. This is likely a knee-jerk reaction to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), who is planning to make tag team wrestling a focal point of their product.
It was also noted that The Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder) have been told they’re to be the face of the division. Dawson and Wilder recently asked for their WWE release following a match on Monday Night RAW. However, WWE doesn’t plan on granting any releases anytime soon. Especially with AEW now being an option for talents to go to. On RAW this week, WWE teased a reunion between Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder. Perhaps an Edge Head reunion will be part of WWE’s new plans for the division.
RAW’s division is currently short a team with The Authors Of Pain’s Akam out-of-action for several months with a leg injury. However, it’s possible WWE could reunite The Hardy Boyz. Matt and Jeff’s contracts with WWE are to expire around WrestleMania 35 season. They signed with WWE in 2017 shortly before WrestleMania 33. But there’s a third-year option in the new deal, which WWE is expected to pick up.
If they decide to do so, there will be a big pay raise involved for the former Tag Team Champions. It will be interesting to see how WWE’s tag team division progresses in the coming months.
Do you think WWE will vamp up its tag team division in the near future?
