This is how I would build-up the RAW World Tag Team Division:

Eric Bsichoff comes out on RAW and states that now he's got his power as GM back, we're going ot see a lot of weight being thrown around on RAW. He tells us how Edge has won more IC Titles than Benoit, how he won the Triple Threat, how Edge has won a King of the Ring tournament, how Edge is a 10-time World Tag Team Champion and a former WWE Tag Team Champion. Bischoff states that since Benoit doesn't want to work co-operatively with Edge, Benoit is now removed as Edge's partner, and Edge can choose a new partner for his reign as an 11-time World Tag Team Champion. Edge chooses his brother Christian, and with Tyson Tomko as their "Problem Solver" we have a good run with Team Awesomeness.

As for challengers, we have Hurricane get annoyed with himself, and we see him and Rosey start up as a new heel agency. Hurricane dresses in black & a very, very dark green, while Rosey dresses in black & red. We see Rosey adopt as top-rope Splash as a finishing move, often setup with his "Ring-Around-the-Rosey" version of the Catatonic. Hurricane still uses his "Gleaming Tyranny" (crappy name, but oh well) version of the shining wizard, and the Eye of the Hurricane )which could get a name change to something like "Path of the Hurricane", since "The Eye" seems to refer to peace), the Hurri-Kick and maybe on occasion the Vertebreaker. I can also see The Hurricane with a new submission move. As a tag team, they have their current team maneuvers, but I would love to see a double splash from opposite corners of the ring, or Hurricane stand on Rosey's shoulders when they're at the top rope, and have Hurricane hit the Overcast, followed by a devastating splash by Rosey, or Hurricane could hit a crossbody, or a splash of his own, just as long as the moves flow onto each other (maybe Hurricane could spalsh one guy, while Rosey could splash the other).

Rhyno & Tajiri don't get a tag team name, but they're also kept as credible singles wrestlers. They're whole gimmick is that they're dangerous, and can hold their own, and the ability to get assistance from an equally dangerous partner is a plus. Rhyno is built-up like the rampaging mammal, while Tajiri is built-up like the stealthy reptile. Tajiri's kicks are sold like they're stab wounds, and the Tarantula is billed like it's been outlawed in Japanese wrestling. Rhyno's moves are sold like Batista's Sit-Down Powerbomb, and The Gore is practically unstoppable. A good double team maneuver for these guys is to have Tajiri hit the Buzzsaw Kick on the guy when Rhyno hits The Gore. The wrestler that takes this move basically sells it like they're dead. You could even have a guy take this move and sell it for like minutes when Rhyno or Tajiri comes back for the pin. Attire-wise these guys are pretty much different, but maybe Tajiri could get a "T" in the same font as Rhyno's "R". They're referred to as the tank and buzzsaw tag team, simply as Tajiri cuts as Rhyno demolishes, and these guys should be pushed as credible enough so that a Kane vs Rhyno & Tajiri match should be a Kane/The Undertaker match in terms of psychological intensity.

Chris Jericho & Chris Benoit feud with Edge & Christian for a while (I think Edge & Christian could pull out a credible Double Spear). The Crippler Corssface/Walls of Jericho move could be given a name (like let's say "The Canadian Walls" or "The Lion Crippler", and maybe we could see a Diving Headbutt/Lionsault tag team finisher brought out on occasion. Other than that, Jericho & Benoit use their wrestling talent & experience to get over as a tag team.

Ric Flair & Dave Batista use the Evolution name, and maybe wear matching Evolution attire when they have tag matches together. Basically their style revolves around how Batista & Ric Flair are two world class wrestlers, who practically have the match won att he start of the match, and use psychology and dominance to pick up wins. If that isolated guy makes the tag, though, the badass babyface comes in and does a lot of fast-hitting damage to the past & present of Evolution. Something special I would like to see in this tag team, would be for Batista to lay out one or both guys with a Sit-Down Powerbomb, then for Ric Flair to come off the top rope with a knee drop/fist drop combo (the knee hits the closest guy, and the fist hits the furhter wrestler). This sort of gives us the message that Ric Flair has been waiting thirty years for this man Batista to come along, and now he has he can finally hit the move he's been trying to for pretty much a large portion of his career.

William Regal & Eugene Dinsmore have nothing better to do, so why not pair them together? Basically either guy can play the face in jeoporady rather easily, and have either the babyish antics of Eugene come to the rescue, or the psyched up Regal hit the ring with ferocious tenacity. The Regal Stretch is protected by Eugene for a submission win, and pretty much any wrestling icon's finishng move is used by Eugene (submission or pinfall). If things get rough, Regal has the brass knuckles, and Eugene can hulk-up on occasion. Eugene adopts William Regal's red & blue trunks that we wore as a tag team with Lance Storm (William regal wears them, too) and both guys come out with their own classic Eugene-style ring-jacket, with with "Eugene" or "William" written on the back. As for a team name, I think announcing them as "William & Eugene" sounds very Brittish for some reason. "Regal & Dinsmore" roles off the tongue. As for tag team moves, I can see an aeroplane spin into William Regal's "Union Jack" move. Same with a Stunner/Union Jack finisher. I can also just see moves like a double atomic drop (Eugene from the inverted position, and Regal form the regular position), and a "Double Regal Stretch". The possibilities are endless, though.

Now onto the most dominant tag team on RAW. Maybe because they are the only dominant tag team on RAW, La Resistance. Basically keep them as they are, but have them use both the Bon Jour and Au Reviour as finishing moves. Have them pull out a lot of double team moves. Maybe give both guys a credible move of their own as well.

Chuck Palumbo & The A-Train could team together. Call them something like "The Bischoff Connection", have them basically live to serve Eric Bischoff & Jonathan Coachman. Give them matching attire, a shared entrance theme, capturing A-Train's gimmick and Chuck Palumbo's essence. Have them use assisted tag team manuevers to win matches. Examples are a Superkick/Scissors Kick move, an A-Bomb (De-Railer) with Chuck Palumbo maybe getting behind A-Train and lifting the opponent's legs up during the move, while sitting down with The A-Train. I can see these two actually being an entertaing tag team, basically garnishing the "Bischoff's bitches" heel heat, and when they eventually turn face having some entertaining promos.

Val Venis & Gene Snitsky would be the last guys on the list (I think). Val Venis could return and say he's done with Kane's crap. Snitsky beat Val Venis in a match, which is what Venis is in the business for, Kane whacks him with a steel chair and puts him on the shelf. Venis & Snitsky become huge heels, and wrestle probably every second or third week in the tag team division. Maybe you could have Lita as their valet? I can see both these guys wearing black trunks with either "Venis" or "Snitsky" printed on them in eithe rpruple (Venis) or white (Snitsky) writing. They come off as the on and off tag team that need each other, simply as Venis never got noticed on his own, as well as using Snitsky as a weapon against Kane while Snitsky needs direction, and needs someone to carry him around when it comes to promos (not a storyline thing, but you know, Venis is the veteran, and Sntisky is new). They could be entertaining. Venis shouldn't lose his pornstar gimmick by the way, he should just be booked more seriously, and more of a user of women/sleazy bastard. Snitsky kills babies, and Venis destroys women's decency, does it come anymore heelish?

I'll do SmackDown! later, but basically RAW is just setup with teams that decide they are going to be lost in the shuffle as singles wrestlers, and decide to make their carvings with each other, as a tag team that utilizes each others strengths and weaknesses to try and build an ultimate tag team formula.

There are teams like Tyson Tomko & Steven Richards and Shelton Benjamin & Rodney Mack that are possible to create, but they aren't really necissary to the division.
