It was only their fourth match as a tag team.Speaking on a recent edition of Legion of RAW, wrestling veteran Vince Russo expressed his doubts regarding Styles and Lee as a tag team. The former WWE head writer noted that the promotion randomly put the two stars together and it wasn't anything special."My God, bro. They were on the Judgment Day for so long and they meant absolutely nothing. Those guys mean absolutely nothing." He continued, "I don't know about AJ and Dragon Lee as a team. You know, come on, man. We were around in an era where tag teams were tag teams. The Hart Foundation, The British Bulldogs, I can go back to the Valiant Brothers, Legion of Doom, The Rockers. Now it's just two guys, we put them together and it just doesn't mean anything else."WWE @WWELINK#ANDNEW World Tag Team Champions... 🏆 @AJStylesOrg & @dragonlee95! 🏆Finn Balor and JD McDonagh had only one successful title defense in their 112-day-long reign as the World Tag Team Champions.
