The Hardy Boyz, unfortunately, had to relinquish the SD Live Tag Team Titles

#3. Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura

By this point, most of us have pretty much realized the fact that both Shinsuke Nakamura and Rusev are two of the very best singles wrestler WWE has to offer, however, both men currently find themselves paired up with each other in a tag team which hasn't really done anything since its inception.

Nakamura and Rusev are two extremely talented wrestlers and as of right now, it looks like WWE does not intend to push either man as singles competitors. Therefore, why not utilize them as a tag team instead?

With the SmackDown Live Tag Team Division now in a desperate need of more tag teams, this seems like the perfect time for WWE to push both Nakamura and Rusev and without a shadow of a doubt, both men should be the first contenders to become the brand new SmackDown Live Tag Team Champions.

A strong run on the tag team division might just be enought to rejuvinate both Nakamura and Rusev's WWE careers before the company could decide to separate them up and have them go their different directions as singles stars once again.
