Isenberg Reacts: WWE Smackdown “Tag Team Fails, Orton Strikes”

March 20, 2015

Paige defeated Brie Bella

paige I expect The Bella’s to get the upper hand next week, with a win on Raw. I can see this tag team match being really good at WrestleMania, if they are given 15 minutes. WWE, always short for time on the big stage, will likely give it 8-10 minutes, which is not long enough.

Tonight was not as long or good as what we saw on Raw, but that is not the worst thing. Paige picks up the surprise win and helps out the feud a little tonight. It does not do too much for me, but at least they continue to heavily push Paige and AJ as a tag team.

I fully expect a really good segment with these women on Raw. With many promos and video packages, the women could wrestle in two singles matches and hopefully be able to cut some promos in the ring after. Make it even more intriguing for the fans. Get personal.

Is This The Best They Got?

Out of the feuds they are succeeding with, WWE is failing miserably with the WWE Tag Team Division. Los Matadores has NEVER gotten over as a gimmick. El Torito was over for one night against Hornswoggle. The team of Cesaro and Kidd are really good in the ring and they are beginning to polish their gimmick outside of it.

The only issue is this: they have no competition.

Without competition, this tag team reign could be long but very forgettable. Los Matadores? No. New Day? No. The Ascension? Prime Time Players?

Tell me what team they should face. Who else do they have to feud with? This is a huge issue and should be addressed with the addition of new blood in the company. Hello to The Briscoes. Hell, I would rather see Lucha Dragons. They are already beating The Ascension on WWE Superstars each week. When I see the excellent product that TNA has in their Tag Team Division and compare it to WWE, I just shake my head and wonder when they can turn it around. It was really good a year ago with Wyatt Family/Shield/Uso’s. Now, nothing.
