there’s no focus on the top stars
Did you guys remember that Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy are the Raw Tag Team Champions? Don’t feel bad if you forgot; WWE probably forgot as well. Jokes aside, they won the vacant titles at the Greatest Royal Rumble event and have done exactly nothing since then. They were left off the card at Backlash (not ideal, but somewhat understandable). However, at this point, I wouldn’t even be surprised if they were left off the card at Money in the Bank. The tag team champions could miss two PPVs in a row. It’s crazy.
Then there’s the Authors of Pain. They killed a bunch of jobbers for like two weeks and then disappeared. I don’t even remember if they appeared on Raw this week. I get not wanting to rush them into the title picture. Not everyone needs to win the Tag Team Championship immediately. But at least put them on Raw. Put them in an interesting non-title feud. But who can they fight, though (see above point)?
The only top team I feel is getting adequate screen-time is Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre. I don’t quite know what the end-goal with them is. Do they go to the tag team division or do they just hang with the singles competitors and mess stuff up? Only time will tell.
I guess it would be hard to create an interesting and engaging feud over the tag team championship when hardly anyone is credible enough to pose a threat. Would anyone believe that. say, the Revival, have a chance of defeating Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt? That if they became number one contenders next week, people would think they could win? I don’t think so.
Hopefully Raw gets its tag team division, plus the rest of its show, in order soon.
