Prob'ly for two different reasons.

I wonder if Jade is just making the best of being there and counting the days down until she's a free agent? She seems like there wasn't really any actual plans for her in any meaningful way after Mr. & Mrs. Rhodes departed from the company, and any "serious" competition she was being groomed to go up against pretty much either got hurt (Statlander) or departed (Thunder Rosa), and there wasn't anything else on the slate for her without those matchups happening when they should have.

As for the Trios, I'm kinda torn. While I agree it's yet another stupid auxillary title, it serves a purpose of keeping The Young Bucks away from everything else, and gives them their own little belts to be marks for. Even if they're kings of a non-existant division or chasing for the crown of the same non-existant division, they can "kill the business" in their own little corner all they want. They've already proven that's all they wanted to be in charge of the tag division for - to have potential "dream matches" against FTR (hot off buzz... to go over) and a reunited Hardy Boyz (hot off buzz...to go over, if they had the chance to), and sign a bunch of other nobody tag teams who can have a Young Bucks type of match (like that one Chineese team signed at the beginning of AEW that was "the tag team of the future"... remember them?!?)... and go over them. If they were focused on the actual tag division, we'd get Austin and Colton counting lights for them, the Acclaimed wouldn't have had the chance to shine as much because Castor's raps would be getting inturrupted and one-upped by the Jackson boys, and any other tag teams, real or imagined, would just be stepping stones for them to have an annual winning record on their entrance lower third instead of MAKING any of those teams in any meaningful way to advance the industry, thus PROVING they're the greatest tag team ever like they "humbly" present themselves as despite having the exact same match since they were "Generation Me" in TNA (prob'ly longer, but that was the first time I actually saw them... and even back then that shit got repetitive and stale pretty quick).
