Backstage Plans To Rebuild Tag-Team Division After WWE Releases

ByBishal RoyProfessional Wrestling Journalist

Reports have emerged that WWE is making moves to strengthen its tag team scene following a wave of roster departures after WrestleMania 42.

The company is focusing on rebuilding the division through internal development and potential outside acquisitions.

WWE released multiple tag teams and talents as part of its post-Mania roster cuts, leaving noticeable gaps across the division. Among those let go were the Wyatt Sicks, Motor City Machine Guns members Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin, as well as Tonga Loa and Jeff Cobb from The MFTs.

In another major blow to the tag ranks, Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston of The New Day also exited WWE after reportedly being asked to accept pay reductions. That represents a significant amount of experience and established chemistry gone in a short period of time.

WWE’s Rebuilding Strategy

As per False Finish HQ sources, WWE is now actively working to rebuild the division internally by developing teams already on the roster.

The company is also believed to be exploring the possibility of bringing in established tag teams from outside promotions in the near future.

The latest reports suggest there is renewed plan on rebuilding depth and credibility across the division moving ahead.
