#3 Should SmackDown’s tag-division embrace more comedy acts?
Trending
I still can't quite decide if I liked the SmackDown Tag Team match or not. When it was announced that Breezeango would be getting this opportunity, I think a lot of people appreciated the fact that both Fandango and Tyler Breeze were going to be able to show what they can do. Both guys are immensely talented in the ring but have fallen victim to comedy gimmicks that take away the believability factor when it comes to them winning matches and championships.
And it's because of this that the overreliance on the comedy factor during this match felt a little too much. Having Breeze come out dressed as a janitor did please the crowd initially, and this was a decent enough way to get the match off the ground. But then they decided to continue in that vein well into the match itself. Breeze fought most of the match dressed as either the janitor or an old lady. Crowd pleasing, but not how a talent like Breeze should be being portrayed.

On the other hand, however, the crowd were genuinely into this match, and perhaps this is what SmackDown needs to do more of when it comes to the tag team division. If there's ever a perfect place to showcase the larger than life characters, the tag team division is often the place to do it.
WWE have had plenty of comedy tag teams over the years that have gone on to great success, for example. And it might even be a way to make the division stand out, as currently the Raw tag team scene is casting a very long shadow over SmackDown's. Perhaps they can't rely on the better workers, but maybe they can start putting the entertainment back into Sports Entertainment by giving us more matches like this.
And don't forget, the New Day are due to make their SmackDown debut very soon, and they aren't exactly known for their serious sides either. I don't want to be too pessimistic throughout his review, so I'm going to try my best to see the positives here.
