I feel like for whatever known-only-to-Vince reason WWE's slapped "Team" in front of every new tag team lately in all official material, mostly when I noticed that the Rhodes Scholars are officially "TEAM Rhodes Scholars" as ungainly as that is. Even "Hell No" sounds better as a standalone team name than "Team Hell No", and though I haven't been following WWE '13 coverage, didn't someone say that ALL tag teams in that game automatically get "Team" appended to their name during introductions?
Somehow the Usos and the Colons seem to be immune to this so far, but seriously, it's pointless, it doesn't make tag teams stand out more, and it just screams of SOME sort of flavor-of-the-week that I can't put my finger on.

It drove me crazy that Jim Ross continued to call Orton and Edge Team Rated RKO long after their Survivor Series hook-up.

Rey/Cara and the PTP haven't had it added. I've heard Santino and Zack called Team Cobro, once |

"The Rhode Scholars" sounds better than "Team Rhode Scholars"

I haven't heard anything of the sort on WWE 13, and I'm hoping that's not true. Couldn't get much more stupid than having someone introduced as Team The New Nexus.

Team Legion of Doom and Team Hart Foundation have such a nice ring to them.

Team Sin Cara and Rey Mysterio will probably get the tag title shot at Survivor Series.
