>>6174628Politics plays a part. With the amount of restructuring they had to do, there could have been all sorts on the card that left them open to new options. The Hardyz were DEFINITELY on the show at one point. Possibly even winning gold given their promo. But that would have required a less over team, so let's say they were off before Dominion, they give the belts to UE. But now the potential initial trade of IWGP Tag and RoH tag is over. Punk is out so it's just interim. They could go "FTR get IWGP and Tana gets to take our interim to Japan as long as he's willing to fly down a few times" (There's only 1 G1 match he has that's on wednesday.)
End of the day it's all speculation of intra-promotional politics. But it's fun to think about.
