I thinkt he easiest way to rebuild the tag team division is to use current superstars to right them into storylines.
On RAW, you have Trish Stratus managing Viscera. Throw in Val Venis given Stratus' background with him, and you have a heel tag team. As for a finishing move, you could have Viscera hit the Splash on some guy, then Val Venis follows it up with The Money Shot. I can image a nice looking Blue Thunder/Splash combo as well, or even Val Venis using the Blue Thunder motion to throw the opponent into Big Vis' Embalmer finisher. Call it something like the "Mabel Syrup", with Vis going by that name at one stage, and Venis being Canadian. OK, don't call it the Mabel Syrup.
You could have Ric Flair bring in two guys to "protect" Triple H, and have it revealed they only volunteered so they could get on TV. And why not bring in some guys to serve as Bischoff's hitmen. Sort of like 3 Minute Warning, except make them stay.
On SmackDown!, you could have Kurt Angle finally lose his Gold Medal in the Invitational to a Shane Twin, who just happens to keep "falling" out of the ring. It is then revealed that there are two Shane Twins, and we have an instant feud when Kurt Angle brings in two more protoges. Or you could have roles reversed and have Johnny Jeter or Matt Cappotelli beat Kurt Angle when the the runs in to help him (I'm thinking Jeter wins, and Cappotelli runs in), and have Angle bring in a new tag team (The Shane Twins?) to serve as his avengers.
Just stuff like this allows for more of an "inpour" of tag teams, without giving off too much of the "the WWE is trying to repair its division" vibe.
