This is a stable, not a tag team. You have to pick two.

No you don’t. He put that they work as a freebird team

[𝓓𝓾𝓴𝓮 𝓚𝓸𝓼𝓵𝓸𝓯𝓯]

Also Hyperion look at the application it states name of tag team or stable

[Hyperion]

Ah my apologies, I didn't know what freebird meant. Didn't know we could do that! So I can make any character in any fed tag with any other character, and they could be tag champs?

[𝓓𝓾𝓴𝓮 𝓚𝓸𝓼𝓵𝓸𝓯𝓯]

Yes sir you can team anyone up

[Mongo the Destroyer]

Yep, stables are welcome. You don't even have to freebird the titles

Just FYI, “Freebirding” refers to the “Freebird Rule” - first used by the Feebirds (a 3 man Team) where they declared all three of them to be the Tag Team Champions. Any two could defend the tag titles on behalf of the team.

Most recently used by The New Day in WWE where they would usually use Kofi and Big E but Xavier sometimes wrestled instead.

Curiously they didn’t use this rule with the Shield. 

so with Dukes stable, you might have two people win the titles but a completely different pairing could defend the titles on the next show.

I thought Freebirding was that thing of like, what Louis CK got in trouble for doing.
