The idea that incoming wrestlers need to "work their way up" for title shots makes no sense..

I'm seeing people complaining about the Machine Guns winning the titles in their 3rd match. If this was boxing, they'd be getting title matches based on their record in other promotions. This happened with Mercedes in AEW too. Why would a former women's champ in WWE need to work her way up in New Japan or AEW when she already has the resume that outweighs everyone else. Same thing with Ethan Page in NXT. It's not like he was a complete jobber elsewhere.

If you are treating wrestling like a sport and a wrestlers' past is being used as part of their character, they don't need to work their way up.

When Vince was handling creative and pretending wrestling outside WWE didn't exist, it made sense. Now, complaining about outside (now inside) talent getting title shots right after signing does not. Its just marks being marks

They should’ve gone to Raw and beat those champs since the Usos got back together on Smackdown but otherwise I saw no problem

No real reason to have the tag titles tied up in the Bloodline storyline when they can do more elsewhere. Its the same thing they should do for the Raw titles. Finn and JD are doing nothing with them because they're involved in Rhea/Liv's angle. Sloppy booking all over the place.
