Why all of the nonsensical tag team matches in universe mode?

[MichaelMosinee]

I get frustrated with the high number of tag matches, AND the illogical pairings. Like Roode and Ziggler being on opposing teams, the Usos being on opposing teams, me being teamed with T-Bar, or Otis....it all makes NO sense at all.

1/2 the problem is the booker basically ignores divisions.

Very noticeable if you play superstar mode - on a PPV your rank in your division is not displayed; it's just a dash. So it seems PPV's drop divisions completely, which I guess explains how my Smackdown wrestler was put in a match for a Raw title.

The same ignorance of divisions is probably why you see tag team smorgasbords.

Doesn't that get confusing if a smackdown wrestler wins the Raw Title? That title is then stolen from RAW and can't be defended because it is RAW title. Nor can it be won back because the RAW wrestlers who want it back can't fight the smackdown wrestler .. unless you wait for another PPV I guess. More confusing is the default setup has the Woman's Tag team across raw and smackdown. However the the default wrestlers are from Raw. So how are they supposed to defend the title on smackdown? How are smackdown wrestlers supposed to win the title? Am I supposed to edit wrestlers every time there is a new champ and have that person be signed to all brands?

This is true. If it is your superstar that is in the match, you can 'throw' the match to keep the title where it should be. With 2x AI wrestlers, the only way to fix the problem is to drop out of superstar mode and give the title so someone in the correct show, which kinda voids the idea of superstar mode.

Like a lot of things in universe mode, PPVs break the system. In reality the AI should be hard-locked to respect the divisions. But that would break the women's tag divisions, because they each only have the title holders in them.

Idiotic how the system here works. By default damage ctrl is cross brand. They are set as title holder tag team on SD and Raw, but they are only signed to Raw. Under SD, literally can't assign anybody to their division so they have nobody to defend against. I don't even see how you can play Universe without just creating a separate women only brand. Not to mention some of the other mind boggling bugs. Don't even get me started on MITB.
