The time to break this team up is now and although that may mean bad news for Mojo Rawley’s first months on the main roster, it’s a necessary sacrifice that Ryder needs to make for his own career before it’s too late. He should be challenging for the Intercontinental Championship if anything, but he’s getting embarrassed by the likes of American Alpha instead. To put that kind of potential with a guy like Mojo Rawley, who despite having enthusiasm in spades, is extremely lacking in terms of in-ring ability, is just setting “The Long Island Iced Z” up for more failure. Okay, so he does go out there and try to make people smile, which is great to an extent, but we have been rooting for Ryder for so long, that to see his alliance with Rawley continue after the man got called up from NXT is just a disappointment. We have watched Ryder literally climb the ladder of success in this company, only to be knocked off merely twenty-four hours later. The best they could hope for is the occasional victory on SmackDown Live, just so they could be used as enhancement talent by another rising team later on.Įven though they may be the most enthusiastic alliance on WWE’s payroll, there are quite a few problems with Mojo Rawley and Zack Ryder as a tag-team – the most predominant of which being the simple fact that Zack Ryder is likeable, and Mojo really isn’t. It’s a pity, but there’s virtually zero chances that The Ascension will ever be holding tag-team gold as members of the WWE roster. Instead, they’re barely even worth mentioning on this list. People watched NXT to see if this would be the day that Konnor and Viktor got knocked off their throne.īut the second they hit the main roster, they were instantly plastered as wannabe Road Warriors, and got buried at the hands of some of WWE’s best and brightest tag-teams from days gone by. It’s no question that had WWE put the work in, The Ascension could have recreated their domination on Raw and SmackDown Live, and we’d be looking at them now as one of the company’s most riveting duos. They were booked to destroy every team in their path and it worked like a dream. Their days as the longest reigning tag-team champions in NXT history seem so distant. It almost seems trivial at this point to point out The Ascension’s success before they reached the main roster. With that being said, where do each of the WWE’s tag-teams lie in the ranks? In this list we’ll analyze every single tag-team on the WWE roster, discussing each of them in order from worst to best. If the company plays its cards right, the brand extension might be the WWE’s opportunity to make Raw, SmackDown Live and NXT a hotspot for tag-team competition, which will provide everyone in the division with a phenomenal opportunity to shine. Throw in the fact that the concept of introducing brand new tag-team championship gold on Tuesday nights is being discussed and hope for the roster isn’t too grim at all.
#Tag team turmoil professional
As with any promotion, you’re going to see a few lower-tier teams in there too, but the company more than makes up for them with some of the best tag-teams in all of professional wrestling, not to mention the impeccable alliances being groomed to take over action down in NXT.Įven with complaints that the WWE have put the majority of the company’s most experienced and popular tag-teams on Monday Night Raw, the fact that American Alpha are being pushed to the moon on SmackDown Live should give you an idea that WWE still has big plans in place for the blue brand.
With the exception of a few throwaway names on the roster, there are a whole host of teams on the payroll that could easily find themselves as candidates to take over the entire division, regardless of brand, over the next few years.
The WWE’s tag-team division is booming at the moment.
