Thats the thing I want to care about them but how can I if they just lose while being Champions( and that team name being the stupidest f****** thing ever) the other thing is I completely agree I want them to split up and kill each other I want Bailey to become the snarling Eddie Guerrero-esque Psychopath she was meant to play

I welcome the return of Switchblade Bayley, but disagree about the team name. There have been worse. Like Air Boom. Or anytime a couple or stable has to have "team" in the name. Not saying everything will come together like the 4 Horsemen or The Heenan Family, but for fuck's sake, can we be a little more clever?

Side note to that, a tiny detail they repeatedly drop the ball on is the music. Like, can a team or a group get a different song collectively than the individual sum of its parts? I am a big critic of "twinsy" tag teams, whose whole identity is being wrapped up in being one of two that are hard to tell apart, but on the other end of the spectrum is a team that are literally just two individuals, and can even barely be assed to have on the same color schemed attire. There is a very achievable middle ground here.

Instead of S and B using cropped parts of their songs, get a song for the duo that isn't the same thing. They were *kinda* doing that for Sanity (there is the generic group theme, and then there are specialized mixes that are notably different for Killian Dane and Nikki Cross), not that anyone would know because they all just fell off the fucking world. Or when they tried to just keep everything that was over about The Shield on Roman Reigns instead of making solo songs for all three men. People would be going apeshit at the song now on this "final" reunion... but some of the reaction is ruined because it is just basically Roman's theme now. Just another one of those little touches that make a bigger difference than you would think, but WWE can't be assed to do consistently.
