WWE reportedly planning tag team division rebuild following roster cuts
WWE is reportedly looking to rebuild its tag team division.
In the post-WrestleMania 42 WWE roster cuts, several tag teams and tag team wrestlers were released, including the Wyatt Sicks, the Motor City Machine Guns’ Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin, and Tonga Loa and Jeff Cobb of the MFTs. Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston of New Day also left the organization after reportedly being asked to take a pay cut.
According to a report on Wednesday by False Finish HQ, WWE is hoping to rebuild the division from within while also looking at the possibility of signing teams from other promotions.
