1. Day 306 - Let's Pair Up!

If last Sunday's Extreme Rules Pay-Per-View taught us anything, it's that WWE desperately needs to create new tag teams, and fast. Members of The Corre have been fighting over the tag team titles for what seems like years now. I have no problem with Kane and The Big Show being the tag team champions, but how many times do we have to see them squash Justin Gabriel & Heath Slater or Wade Barrett & Ezekiel Jackson? Hell, considering the recent tension in the group, that may not even be an issue soon enough. I think WWE should take advantage of last week's draft and create some new, makeshift teams, either temporary or permanent.

Do I have some ideas in mind? Obviously...

Drew McIntyre & Jack Swagger: Despite their awkward pose on the entrance ramp on Monday's RAW (no man should ever go up and down between another man's legs), I feel McIntyre & Swagger meshed well in their match against Rey Mysterio & Kofi Kingston. Both are young, arrogant, and have loads of potential to one day be main-eventers. Swagger’s a technical wrestler while McIntyre’s can be considered a “technical brawler”. I would rather see these two pursue singles careers on RAW - maybe even as faces - but for the time being, they could be a successful and antagonizing tag team.

Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins: This is another tag team I’d rather see on different paths, but since the draft landed both superstars on RAW, you have to imagine WWE is planning an Edgehead reunion sometime soon. While I’m sure they would pick some victories as a unit (they are former tag team champions), I would just rather have WWE capitalize on Ryder’s internet fame and push him to the United States Championship. But since WWE can be such pricks sometimes, I guess we’ll have to settle with this.

Ezekiel Jackson & Brodus Clay: With all the big men running over Smackdown!, you’d have to imagine WWE would pair at least two of them up (Big Show’s now a member of RAW, remember?). As I mentioned earlier, The Corre will likely dissolve by the end of the month, leaving Zeke to fend for himself. I’ve heard people claim that he should challenge for the world title, but he’s so not ready for that. Instead, I’d unite Zeke with another monster, one who lost his mentor/partner to RAW - Brodus Clay. Since competing on NXT, Clay hasn’t had many microphone opportunities, but I can assure you he’s a better speaker than Zeke. I think a Jackson/Clay team could rival the Kane/Big Show pairing very nicely.

Sin Cara & Daniel Bryan: This one probably has the smallest chance of happening considering WWE’s obsession with pushing Cara as fast as possible, but I think these two could make a great team. Bryan is one of the most-skilled workers on the entire roster, and if paired up with Sin Cara, he could help the Mexican adjust his wrestling style to the “WWE style”, much like Bryan himself did not that long ago. I think a lot of fans would really get behind watching these two compete as a team, mainly because of their innovation in the ring. Considering Christian and Randy Orton are the two top faces of the blue brand, it wouldn’t hurt Cara & Bryan to get over as a team before moving up the solo ranks of Smackdown!.

There’s a few other names I wanted to suggest pairing up, but we’re too early into the post-draft to see who will get a push on RAW or Smackdown!, and who will be regulated to “Superstars” duty. But as for the teams I mentioned, which one intrigues you the most? Which one has the greatest likelihood of being formed? WWE’s tag team division is in one of the worst states it’s ever been, and they need to find a way to revitalize it, or else we may see another title enter the “Defunct Championship Hall of Fame”.

Song Of The Day: Kanye West - All Of The Lights

(It's been out for a while, but I heard it for the first time just last week. Oops!)

Well, it looks like I chose the wrong shows to watch this past week. Rather than man up and pay the $45 for Extreme Rules - which I heard was a great PPV - I took the cheap way out and only watched RAW and Smackdown!. Big mistake. As I stated in Saturday's column, last week's Smackdown! was awful, and Monday's RAW was no better. Let's hope WWE can turn things around on Friday.
