- Triple H is serious on introducing new talents through vignettes and promos. It’s also being said that Triple H is interested in reviving the WWE Tag Team division. Word is that they are really starting to recruit tag teams and see if some names are under contract to other promotions.

There has been talk internally about The Brisco Brothers but they are signed to Ring of Honor. There has also been a lot of talk about TNA’s Beer Money and bringing them in once they are able to get away from TNA.

Regarding the Kings of Wrestling – Chris Hero & Claudio Castagnoli coming, the talk is that they will indeed be brought in together as a tag team and not singles wrestlers.

Source: PWInsider

This is amazing news! You can tell that this must be a serious attempt at reviving the tag division if the WWE are looking into the Indys, but also at TNA. It'd be tough for Roode & Storm to knock back working for the WWE if the offer came along, but they'd probably need a guarantee that this is a serious revival of the division considering Beer Money are the best tag team in TNA by far and have no real reason to leave the company.

I've heard that The Briscoes are a fantastic tag team, much like The Kings of Wrestling. I'm pretty sure they're twins though, and personally I see the WWE thinking that putting them against The Usos would be a good idea... if they ever sign that is.

I still think the WWE should look over their roster at those that they don't use to establish some meaningful tag teams, but within reason. Chucking two random superstars together, like Curt Hawkins and Yoshi Tatsu for example, doesn't create a meaningful tag team.

Anyway, what does everybody else think about this?

Getting The Briscoes away from RoH is going to be impossible.

The briscoe have been there since day one, and I really can't see them leaving us they are promised and guranteed tag team wrestling EVERY single day of the week; one will never work without their bro, only a few times have they gone to ring of honor on their own... So talented and they are pretty good on the microphone. Abit like Hardass Dudley boys.

The Kings of Wrestling are Main Event level if they get pushed and used right.

Indeed, Triple H is doing a great job in the talent department.

I think we are only a few months away from seeing The Kings in the WWE. I wonder if the names will stay the same though, and I just hope they get called straight up to the main roster. I think taking Tyler Black, and sticking him in FCW for so long killed all the buzz he had coming in. I think they already made a mistake with him.

Beer Money in the WWE would be a huge shocker imo, as it is not very often a TNA talent jumps to WWE. If they were a former WWE superstar already, then it's not that big of a deal but in this case, Beer Money has been in TNA for a long time. I would love to see it happen however, as both function well as a team, and singles. It would be a good signing on their part.

And I agree with EoR. I don't think Briscos would leave RoH for whatever WWE offered them.

That's cause most of them are WWE rejects. WWE won't acknoledge they may have made a mistake so they don't hire them.

But I could see Beer Money jumping the problem is going to WWE and not becoming the APA or The Stone Cold Tag Team.

I would love to see the WWE revive the tagf divisoon but they need to be smart. WWE have some great tag teams still in the company such as Ryder and Hawkins. So I think yes hiring new teams will bring life to a crushed division but i just hope they dont forget about the previous stars they have had.

Wow, I'm digging HHH's plans. He knows his shit, thankfully.

Would love to see more tag teams, would love it if some CHIKARA or Dragon Gate tag team came to WWE as well.

Beer Money would be great signings, as I think they need a fresh challenge and have many of the quaulites that WWE normally seek. Kings of Wrestling would be good also, and it does seem like that will happen, I like the Usos also, so already those signings would be a big help.

This is silly. Triple H cannot be a "saviour" because only Jesus saves.
The End.

Really? You're going to come in here with this shit? Wow...thanks for contributing nothing.

Now for a REAL post, the WWE could have a very strong tag team division if they used it. The Usos have been impressing me as of late. Otunga and Hennig have also been a good team when they get a chance to show. Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins is a great tag team that they could have. And there are also a bunch of young mid carders they could team up. They just need to start putting it into action. The Kings of Wrestling is really the only signing they need. They have all the materials, now they just need to build.

Purple PuNk, I suggest post nothing if you have nothing to say. This is a discussion thread, therefore Discuss things relevant to the thread thanks.

I am one who also likes The Uso's, I believe Curt Hawkins could work with Ryder or Trent Baretta (either way), a few mid-carders could be put together and I really hope they start building the division.

Or Ryder, Hawkins, and Baretta could all form up again, and remake the Dudebusters. I always loved them, and honestly, they were one of the few reasons I would watch Smackdown. I would love to see that.

I wasn't a fan of the Usos when they started, but I've been slowly following them.

Santino is always a great worker, and could be teamed with anyone and would make the team golden. Hes just that good of a worker. Maybe him and Tatsu?

Also, if Tyson Kidds singles career never takes off, that could be another team. As well and Dolph and McIntyre. After Dolph drops Vicky, I could see them getting together. I would also like to see Miz and Truth. I think that would be good, and Miz has proven that he is a good tag worker.

The problem is, WWE breaks up tag teams before they can take off. It's always broken up way to early now. The Dashing Ones could have been great for the tag division, and for both Drew and Cody, but they we're over in a month. Cody and Ted could easily start working together again, and go after gold in the tag title.

They were known as The Freebirds, those three in FCW. We could see that returning and I'd like that to happen.

Santino & Tatsu would be great, never thought of that. Reminds me of Funaki tbh LOL

Kidd should remain solo, have Vickie as his manager, if not... Curtis is a good way of bringing him up and elevating him.

I miss Carlito & Primo... Wish they'd get back

You're a joke.

Exactly! They've had the materials to have a great tag division all along, it's just they don't do shit with it. They'd rather put all their focus on 8 superstars that surround the main event scene and give little to no focus to the midcard or tag team matches. Hopefully Triple H doesn't just sign new teams and actually forms teams with talent that have nothing for them. In saying that, the teams need to make sense and can't just be two guys thrown together.


Or Ryder, Hawkins, and Baretta could all form up again, and remake the Dudebusters. I always loved them, and honestly, they were one of the few reasons I would watch Smackdown. I would love to see that.

You obviously didn't watch Smackdown. The Dudebusters was Barreta, Croft and Hawkins... and they were in FCW.


Santino is always a great worker, and could be teamed with anyone and would make the team golden. Hes just that good of a worker. Maybe him and Tatsu?

As bad as that team sounds, it worked for Marella and Kozlov, so who knows.


Also, if Tyson Kidds singles career never takes off, that could be another team. As well and Dolph and McIntyre. After Dolph drops Vicky, I could see them getting together. I would also like to see Miz and Truth. I think that would be good, and Miz has proven that he is a good tag worker.

Miz and Truth makes sense, only because they've both got a problem with either the WWE or Triple H. Truth has his whole conspiracy theory, whereas Miz doesn't like how Triple H runs things. It works.

Ziggler and McIntyre doesn't make sense to me. I don't really see how that could happen, but I kinda hope it does for McIntyre's sake.

Kidd should be in a tag team, but it's tough to name a partner for him. Maybe he could reform The Hart Dy... ohhhh yeahhhhh.


The Dashing Ones could have been great for the tag division, and for both Drew and Cody, but they we're over in a month. Cody and Ted could easily start working together again, and go after gold in the tag title.

I agree, Rhodes and McIntyre would've been a great team. I don't understand why they were chucked together, thrown in a tag title match, won the titles, lost them a few weeks later, and they immediately split. It's not like they took the titles from a face team (Hart Dynasty) and it went to another face team as they actually lost them to The Nexus (although it was Cena & Otunga, but still it's the Nexus).

Rhodes and DiBiase won't be near the tag titles I don't think. The WWE are going for a Miz/Riley relationship between the two, and Miz & Riley never went near the titles. DiBiase is the lacky, Rhodes is the successful one, and DiBiase will eventually turn face and they'll feud.

No, I watched Smackdown. The Dudebusters on Smackdown was Croft, and Barreta. What I'm saying is, Hawkins has been a Dudebuster in FCW, and Barreta has been a Dudebuster on Smackdown and FCW. So it would make sense to put them together to remake the Dudebusters. Throw in Ryder to take the place of Croft, and every things good and shiny. I think it would really work out well, and please the Ryder fans.

I do believe that I lot can be done for the tag division. Hell, Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel wasn't even a bad team. Still don't get why they're aren't teaming anymore. Maybe it's that Heath was holding Justin back.

I would like to see Tyson team with someone, but I can't think of anyone.

They weren't called The Dudebusters when they were on Smackdown, they were just known as Caylen Croft and Trent Barreta. We labeled them The Dudebusters because we knew they were called that in FCW while they were also with Hawkins, but the WWE never called them it.
