#7 A new tag team that doesn’t quite get along

For better or for worse, creative people in wrestling tend to have specific patterns they fall into. There’s Vince McMahon’s tendency to push a Hulk Hogan style super hero in different incarnations like Lex Luger, Diesel, John Cena, and Roman Reigns.

There’s Dusty Rhodes’s infamous Dusty Finish. Eric Bischoff has more than once gone to the well of the heel super group patterned after his most successful iteration with the New World Order.

Amid Paul Heyman’s bag of tricks is the tag team partners who don’t get along, not least of all including Raven and Tommy Dreamer tagging in ECW, and Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit having to work together in WWE.

Done well, this story can give two talents something to do with a nicely focused storyline that both enriches the tag team division, and fuels them to eventually feud with one another. Heyman may well start inching us in this direction once again by SummerSlam.
