WWE Raw vs. Smackdown Live: Which Was Better? (17th, 18th September, 2018)

#3. The Tag-Team Division:

Rusev Day fell apart on SmackDown Live

Raw: Raw's tag team division had one tag team match, where the Author's of Pain destroyed the Enhancement Talent. On the other side of things, Chad Gable won his match with Viktor, but the hostile actions of Konor after match seem to mean that this feud is far from over.

SmackDown: SmackDown Live's Tag Team division lacked any actual tag team matches, but the Bar's Cesaro faced Kofi Kingston of the New Day, in a fast but entertaining match ahead of their upcoming feud. On the other hand, there was drama in the division, as mentioned in the previous Mid-Card segment, after causing a distraction which caused Rusev to lose the match, Aiden turned on his friend and partner. He attacked him from behind, and this effectively signalled the end of Rusev Day, something that's been teased for a while.

Which was better? Raw's segments both had promise, but neither had quite the power one would for. SmackDown on the other hand, while decidedly lacking in actual tag team matches, progressed the story of both segments including tag teams. The breakup of Rusev Day remains one of the sadder moments on television of late, and the fact that the fan favourite duo never got to hold the tag titles will remain a grievance for most fans as well.

Winner: SmackDown Live
