That is one uninspired match. Reminds me of that one Mania where Ziggler and Big E challenged... someone, I forget, for the tag belts. I only remember they lost, and the match was like 5 minutes long, or something. Bryan and Kane.

I'm only interested about Omos part in this tag battle. I would've booked AJ against Fiend, Trips or something also. This is the lamest option for him.

I mean, the story of this match IS Omos. At least 95% of it, with the other 5% being Styles having a shot at picking up the WWE Grand Slam.

And just like that match, it's a client/bodyguard duo that gets jammed into a tag title match because they had some singles guys needing a WrestleMania match.

Which is weird because this is just before they started cramming EVERYONE onto the card. Kingston himself was just a guy on the pre-show panel that year, and the only female wrestler presence on the entire card was managing the challengers in this very match (AJ Lee). The actual champion (Kaitlyn) was nowhere in sight.

Maybe they can make it a ladder match (even throw the Hurt Business in there too) and have AJ grab the belts by standing on Omos instead of a ladder.

AJ v. Kofi with Omos and Xavier as far away from wrestling as possible sounds infinitely more watchable for a variety of reasons.

I like it. Hurt Business can be involved in the McIntyre feud and don’t need the titles. They also scream pre-show if they have the belts.
This puts a big much-needed spotlight on the tag division and instantly becomes an attraction for the show, especially with Omos making his in-ring debut and AJ trying for his first tag championship. Plus, you know the AJ-Kofi portions of the match will be great.

Just wish AJ would rather win the SD tag titles since it’s the house he built.

Safe way to get Omos in the ring. AJ has nothing else lined up

They’re using him to carry the bulk of the match to try and help get Omos over. And they see huge future in Omos. What better combination is there then AJ, Kofi and Xavier to carry the workload in that match? EDIT: from a kayfabe perspective it’s dumb as f***. As soon as I read the result I was questioning why these two get a title shot, at Mania no less?

Are you even registered to complain about this? I found this part of New Day's promo fascinating. Like, is there a kayfabe registration system in place for new tag teams? Do they have to go to Pearce or Sonya, say "We're a tag team now" and then fill out paperwork? they used to talk about manager's licenses... so maybe it's one of those long forgotten rules

If you can just get on the Wrestlemania card by going up to people and challenging them, why don’t more people try that? Why is Mojo Rawley not getting in one of those Viking guys faces and saying “I’ll see YOU at Wrestlemania.”
