Putting two random guys together and calling them "Tag Team Solutions" would be awesome.

Tito Santana and Ivan Putski need to come back and challenge the current champions.

Hell right now there aren't even any teams, all of the teams were split up except Cryme Tyme and the Colons...they'd have to actually invest in tag team wrestling which well doesn't seem to be much of a priority.

They have to look at tag team wrestling as a viable draw. Nowadays they are always looking to build everyone as singles stars and are too quick to break up tag teams. But look at a team like the Hardy's, they got over as a tag team long before they got over by themselves, same with Edge and Christian,same with The Rockers,Hart Foundation,etc.

Hire/bring up some legit tag teams, as opposed to putting two random guys together (as they seem to be doing with Kendrick at the moment).
Give The Colons a decent, meaningful feud. It was going well with Miz/Morrison, but then the big pay-off was deemed unworthy to include on WrestleMania, which is sad considering some of the great tag title matches that've been on that show over the years.

Team names. It's a big step in the right direction; it says, "We're a team, in it for the long-haul, not just two guys looking out for our own best interests."
Double-team finishers. See above.
MANAGERS would go a long way in building tag-teams. Think about it: who is the Microphone Master in the World's Greatest Tag Team? A manager would help them with the promos, which could focus on being the best tag team in WWE, and could also help with another thing WWE is sorely lacking: stables. I remember back in the '80s, it was always thought that a team like King Kong Bundy & Big John Studd (or any two members of the Heenan Family, really) could win the Tag Team belts at any given moment. Same for WCW in the early-'90s with various combinations of the Dangerous Alliance. (most notably Anderson/Eaton - who had an awesome reign, IMO - and Rude/Austin.) Plus, you'd have a ready-made, not-necessarily-title feud when the manager ditches one team in favor of the other. (like Jimmy Hart did with Money, Inc./Natural Disasters/Nasty Boys.)
Those three things, plus a renewed focus on tag teams in general - would help by leaps and bounds. Maybe assign one or two writers to the tag division and let them do their thing. (Michael Hayes would be a good choice, IMO, given his background.)

Its pretty simple, put teams together that people want to see. Problem is WWE is having trouble putting singles wrestlers together that people are clammoring to see, its tough to expect it with teams.

Somebody already said it but it was my first thought too. They need to stop looking to make singles stars out of teams, I know they got Bret, HBK, Edge etc from teams but those guys were Tag Teams for a good while and successful too. They just need to let Tag Teams be Tag Teams and work at making singles stars out of the underused solo guy they already have. There's no use splitting up a fairly new team to create two underutilised solo guys.

Managers are needed in tag teams to have the unified voice of the unit. Tag teams don't really need managers if they both stick to the common goal which is winning tag gold.
Much more team work within the match meaning double team moves and the ability to always dissect teams that aren't as technically sound.
They need to be imposing and feared by men that don't have anyone to watch their back. There is no way that a singles wrestler should beat a good tag team. World Champion or not. A world Champion alone can stand up to them but not beat them. A US or IC Champion shouldn't stand a chance.
If you put both WWE Champ and World Champ agianst a the tag team champs the Tag champs should ultimately win because the team work aspect should be higher unless they have a slip up that the other team exposes. Not saying it should be a squash, but slightly uneven to the end.
WWE needs to commit to the tag team formula instead of just throwing guys together or breaking them up so quickly.
But they are suffering from having their tag teams look like two mid card or lower guys together rather than two guys who could possibly challenge for the world title on their own as the top.
Like Tyson Kidd and DH Smith look like they could give the image of tag team i'd rather want as champs than Carlito and Primo.
More than anything else, they just need more tag teams and I would settle for guys who on their own decide that they'd rather team up and make good tag team than just deciding to do one shot matches.
that's my take.

Those three things, plus a renewed focus on tag teams in general - would help by leaps and bounds. Maybe assign one or two writers to the tag division and let them do their thing. (Michael Hayes would be a good choice, IMO, given his background.) Agreed. It also helps when, if they DO throw two guys together, they have them show up the next week with matching attires and a newly formed team name. Gives the fans something to identify these two former solo artists with. Like, and this is a strange analogy, but dammit it works, you don't call Kool-Aid "flavor powder and water" you call it Kool-Aid. Likewise, referring to The Hart Foundation as Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart didn't make much sense either. They're the Hart Foundation. TNA is currently way ahead of the WWE in this sense, and like someone else pointed out in another thread, Team 3D actually have a good point when they say this. They've got teams like the Britsh Invasion, Lethal Consequences, MCMG, and Beer Money to feud with to name just a few, while in the WWE, they'd have the Colons and Priceless, and maybe Cryme Tyme. WWE needs new tag teams, and with the roster they've got, they could make a few new ones just sitting there and picking through guys who have similar gimmicks or common enemies.
