The current WWE Undisputed Tag Team Champions are Damian Priest and Finn Balor of the Judgment Day. Recently, the Archer of Infamy discussed the growth of the tag team titles and how they are treated.
Senór Money In The Bank was interviewed by Kenny McIntosh of Inside The Ropes. During the interview, Damian Priest mentioned how once upon a time the tag team championships were not considered a top prize in the promotion. He also reflected on how the championships have now been defended in the Main Event of WrestleMania.
“I think it goes without saying that, unfortunately, there was a time where the tag team titles fell off a little bit and they weren’t as important as they should be. Then, obviously, the focus came back: WrestleMania main event [for the] tag team titles? That’s a wild one, no one could have predicted that the tag team championships would be the main event of one of the nights of WrestleMania. So that tells you everything you need to know as far as where they are now as far as importance.
“So you take that, and then Finn Balor and I winning these championships twice? It’s wild, but it’s so cool to know that we’re a part of something that’s important. It’s neat to know that we’re carrying that tradition of making sure that the titles stay important and we take pride in that. We don’t want the titles to fall off again. I don’t think anybody does, you can tell by how many people want the tag team championships. It’s not just tag teams, it’s individual big stars that want to team up with somebody to take the titles from us. I think that’s awesome.”
Damian Priest is excited to defend the championships on the Road To WrestleMania
Priest also shared his excitement in being one of the champions heading into WrestleMania 40.
“Especially during Mania season, knowing that being a tag team champion going into WrestleMania, you know you’re gonna be in a high profile angle or match or just something. All we want to do is do something important and having the Tag Team Championships, we’re there. So it makes life a little easier,” Damian Priest said.
Do you think the Judgment Day can walk out of the Grandest Stage still holding the Tag Team titles?
