#3 The New Day’s WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship reign must end

WWE’s tag team division had a much-needed resurgence in 2017 when The New Day and The Usos were involved in one of the best rivalries of the year on SmackDown.

Then, unfortunately, WrestleMania 34 happened. Ever since The Bar lost the RAW Tag Team titles to Braun Strowman and a 10-year-old, the tag divisions on both RAW and SmackDown have been treated as a low priority by WWE’s higher-ups.

WWE fans have seen way too many unnecessary tag title changes over the last two years, so encouraging yet another SmackDown Tag Team Championship change might not be viewed as the best idea by some people. However, there is something about The New Day’s gimmick that does not seem to be clicking right now.

Is it the absence of fans? Is it because Kofi Kingston has gone right back to where he was before his WWE Championship reign? Is it due to Xavier Woods still being out injured?

Whatever it is, the time has come to freshen up Big E and Kofi Kingston’s act. And if that means Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura have to throw one of them through a table to end The New Day's 93-day reign as SmackDown Tag Team Champions, so be it.
