Here is what I would do with the SmackDown! tag team division. Just like the RAW one, some tag teams may not have much story behind them, some may seem senseless, but the best interest of the tag team division is in mind, and this is an attempt to make the titles as credible as possible.

Rene Dupree & Kenzo Suzuki
Why break up these two? Kenzo's work has actually been rather decent since the tag team, and Dupree gets to show off his B+ talents in the ring in healthy medium doses. Dupree is the youngest man to win a title in the WWE, and I'd like the WWE to make mention of how this team is based on how these guys need each other, as Kenzo's ring skills suffer temporary "blowouts" while Rene is still young, and needs to build up his portfolio before moving up to the big leagues. These two don't need to be buddy-buddy, and you could even have Rene and Hiroko get drunk on wine (and love according to Dupree), and use this to furhter character developement between Suzuki & Dupree. They've got their theme music, and I can see their attires become hybrids of Japanese & French culture. I also wouldn't mind seeing "Cafe de Rene" return with Suzuki singing the background music.

Los Guerreros
Have Eddie & Chavo cross paths, and have them fighting for a similiar goal. This will be the tease for a return, and maybe at Survivor Series the WWE can make it final (or the week before). If Billy Kidman gets picked for Kurt Angle's team at Survivor Series, this would make an interesting way to revive the Los Guerreros tandem. Have them as the lead challengers to Kidman & London's tag titles (more on that later). Give them back either their "We, lie, we cheat, we steal" music, or a new theme (since Eddie has adapted to the theme, and Chavo has his own now). Give them matching Los Guerrero tights, and have them use a lot of innovative tag team strategies. I wouldn't mind seeing them win the tag titles from Kenzo & Rene by removing the champions' tag rope, and thus legally preventing them from tagging. I can see the fans eating that up.

The Shooting Stars
Sometime in the forseeable future, have Kidman cut a promo about how noone cares about him, only to be interupted by Theodore R. Long, who tells us Paul London is returning in a match two weeks on SmackDown!, against Billy Kidman and it will be in a Steel Cage, with the only way to win is to escape the structure. Have all this build-up during the rest of SmackDown! that week, and the rest of the week thereafter. Have the cage come down in the main event on SmackDown! of week three, and have Kidman enter it. Paul London then come sout and addresses Billy Kidman and how he feels he's been treated. Then have Paul London say Kidman is 100% right. Have Paul say these fans were being selfish monsters for pushing Kidman to use a dangerous move, and how London did nothing to help. Have London apologize to Kidman and thank him for the wake-up call. London then asks if Kidman is willing to utilize the rematch clause in their contracts and challenge the WWE Tag Team Champions next week on SmackDown!. Kidman nods and the reformed tag team hugs in the middle of the Steel Cage Match is is not-to-be.

Kidman and London then go on to win the WWE Tag Team Championship, with stereo Shooting Star Presses. When addressed in a backstage interview about why they brought out the move they labelled last week as "dangerous" London tells us that this business is about kicking ass, and doing what you can to get ahead. These fans think Kidman is a coward for not pulling off a SSP? Well being men of the people, you can expect a lot more SSPs from the newly titled "Shooting Stars". Kidman then presents his tag team partner with a new ring jacket design. London wears the new jacket and his ring attire, while Kidman wears his new jazzed up look regularly. Occasionally they wip out Filthy Animal attire, or matching trunks. This gives us an individuality look to the tag team, as well as making them look dangerous and as bonded as possible, as well as making them a heel version of The Rockers so to speak. I can even see Torrie Wilson becomming their valet. Although some people may consider this a face action, I think it could further them as the major heel team of the WWE. Torrie Wilson is desireable, so if you have Billy Kidman get involved in a relationship with her, I think the fans will have that jealousy as well as dislike towards The Shooting Stars.

The Dudleys
At Survivor Series, Heidenreich could lose ot The Undertaker, and Paul Heyman gets attacked by The Undertaker, three men manage to save Heyman from trouble. Bubba Ray, D-Von & Spike realise that although they are together as family, they don't have the direction. Spike Dudley hands the title of "The Boss" to Paul Heyman, who gives Spike direction in the cruiserweight division, and The Dudleys become more ruthless, and start putting women through tables. Maybe we could see a TLC Match between The Dudleys, Los Guerreros & The Shooting Stars. London & Kidman could get heat with Spike Dudley (being cruiserweights), as well as The Dudleys putting Torrie Wilson through a table, and I can see Los Guerreros easily getting heat with both teams, as well as maybe staging a scenario between the two, like Edge & Christian did in 2001.

The Basham Brothers
Give these guys promo time. They have really suffered with the loss of Shaniqua, but I think the addition of Dawn Marie or Synn to their side would be an interesting situation. I liked their gimmick as the brothers that were too close, and too similiar for their own good. Have them play the unpredictable tag team. Give them back the latex tights, and have them use the switching strategy a lot more. Never have these guys lose a match decisively. If they're in trouble, just have their valet/Basham Brother nail an opponent one of their "toys". I can also see them beating each other up after a match in a "tough love" scenario. The valet could cop a beating as well. Have more of a persoanlity drift between Doug & Danny show up. Have Doug all about success and a powerful stance on wrestling, and Danny all about kicking ass. Have both appear equally as capable and as intelligent as each other though. And most importantly, move them away from Velocity on a weekly basis.

Garrsion Cade & Mark Jindrak
Garry C isn't doing anything, so why not repair these two as prodigies under Kurt Angle. Sort of the reverse version of Team Angle, with a former tag team using Kurt Angles guidence, instead of Benjamin & Haas who debuted with it, and then broke off on their own. Give Garrison Cade & Mark Jindrak their old entrance theme and music, and give them matching attire, with their names on it. Have Garrison Cade use the Flying Elbow, along with Jindrak. A Double Flying Elbow would make an interesting tag team move, especially if they hit it at the same time. Maybe also have them use a Double Mark of Excellence?

Scotty 2 Hotty & Shannon Moore
I don't know why, but I can see these two with a tough punk and a dancing idiot tag team. Have them serve as an on and off tag team, and give them a boost when the tag division needs some different action. Otherwise keep them in the cruiserweight division.

Charlie Haas & Rico
A tag team name for these two would be good. I can see a double submission hold being a good finisher for these guys. Keep Miss Jackie as their valet as the only face diva on SmackDown!. Give them matching (or contrasting) colour themes in their attire. Have Charlie Haas remain credible, and keep him strong in the United States Division, with Rico later serving as a manger, and Miss Jackie as a valet.

Hardcore Holly & Billy Gunn
A tag team name, and matching attire is the only thing this team lacks. Give them high-impact tag team moves, and allow them to pick up some big wins. They can be the guys who feel their chance should be now, and too many useless junkies are coming into the WWE. They team up because in the tag division they can take out two guys at a time. Give them a matching entrance theme and titantron. Have Billy Gunn finally lose the "Mr. Ass" gimmick.

Tough Enough
Matt Cappotelli & John Hennigan come in claiming they are the young guys. Basically they make for a good feud with HH & BG. They claim they are the real stars of Tough Enough. Because they woul dbe brought in together, they could eaisly have matching ring attire, and entrance themes, etc.

Al Snow & Tough Enough 4 Winner
I just think this would make an interetsing team. Al Snow wants to capatilize on this guy's popularity, protect him, and get back into action with a tough partner at the same time. It could be greed, and father's pride at the same time. I really think is could be interetsing if done right.

Brian Donnovich & Bill DeMott
I think that's how you spell the guy that go the developemental deal's name. I htink a feud between these tow guys and Al Snow & TE4 Winner could be interesting. If Bill DeMott doesn't want to return, you can have Matt Morgan come in and team with Brian (or feud with him).

Rob Van Dam & Rey Mysterio
Give them a new entrance theme, and a recognizeable tag team finisher and they're right.

John Bradshaw Layfield & Orlando Jordan
These two could make an interesting tag team on and off. I can't see them doing much in the division, however. But they could make for some decent matches.
