Dax Harwood blames Vince McMahon for the current state of tag team wrestling in 2025.
The perception of tag team wrestling from the fans and the companies that produce it isn’t what it used to be. Vince McMahon has been criticized for his lack of enthusiasm in the division over the past decade, creating ripples throughout the industry.
On Sunday, a fan on social media made the following statement:
“WWE will never be forgiven for making fans believe that the tag team division is mid-card.”

This caught the attention of All Elite Wrestling‘s Dax Harwood. It clearly struck a chord with him as he took to social media to respond, blaming Vince McMahon without actually naming him directly for the current state of tag team wrestling today, tweeting out:
“This. THIS! For YEARS tag team wrestling was top of the card. Then, one man decided he hated it. Fans eventually accepted it because there was really no other choice. The excuse “I have to pay twice as much” is bullshit. Cash and I worked over 180 matches one year; more than any other wrestler, and we’re still the lowest paid wrestlers on the roster. Even if you doubled our pay, we were the lowest.
“The wrestlers, as well, bought into this belief. They became selfish and wanted to “hit all my moves”. Tag team wrestling can be the single most exciting part of the show, with the most story involved. It just takes a little bit of creativity,” Dax Harwood said in a post.
With AEW’s tag team division not being in a place where many expected it to be when the company launched in 2019, it’s not surprising that Harwood feels this way.
