They need to rehab their tag divisions. Nearly everything is running on full motor in the WWE, but the tag divisions have slipped. Last year it was red hot with the Uso's holding down the belts... but now the belts are rarely defended. Having JD McDonagh and Tonga Loa holding onto one of the few titles isn't a great look... DIY, Street Profits, New Day, A-Town Down, and American Made are decent contenders, but they've all taken quite a few losses and need to be built back up. It honestly feels like there are not enough tag teams, and even NXT is lacking in quality.
I bet the Lucha Bros would have been given a run instantly as a reward for going across the street. Maybe they can have Dragon Lee or Mysterio fill in for Phoenix for the time being. Or better yet why not have Judgement Day bring in Penta and have him tag with Dom? Dom needs a belt more than JD and Balor. So to me that would be an ideal pairing, rather than throwing him into the LWO. Penta would get tons of heat being paired with Dom... he wouldn't need to do many promos with Dom and Liv shouldering most of the work.
