5 Reasons why AEW should bring back WCW’s Battlebowl concept

#4 Further deepening the tag ranks

The AEW tag division is looking great but could get even deeper.

AEW has immediately distinguished itself for its emphasis on tag team wrestling. When The Lucha Bros arrived on the scene, the company treated them as one of the biggest debuting acts, not to mention that they forewent Pentagon’s hot solo act in favor of pushing this tag team with his talented brother Rey Fenix.

Given that they wear two hats as not only featured wrestlers but executives, The Young Bucks aren’t going anywhere either. From there, AEW’s ranks also feature The Dark Order, SCU, The Best Friends, Angelico and Jack Evans, and the Rhodes brothers as sometimes partners, and that’s a deep roster.

Given this focus, it would only make sense for AEW to promote an event largely focused on tag team wrestling. Moreover, in forcing odd couple pairs of wrestlers to team up, Battlebowl would invite unexpected new teams to come up among talents who don’t have clear directions otherwise or to revisit the timeless angle of partners who don’t get along, but to nonetheless succeed in the ring when working together.
