In the new code, the ring kickers are now disabled when the ball is not in the ring, so no more unnecessary wear & tear.

Another plus in the new code: When you shoot the ramps while not in a match, the ball completely bypasses the ring altogether & loops around down the other ramp & back to the lower playfield.

Also, you can now hit both flippers at the end of a ball during the bonus countdown to bypass it & go straight to the next ball.

The tag team championship belts ARE in the new code (as are the other title belts).

To start the Tag Team Championship match, you must first claim the "Money In The Bank" briefcase by hitting the top light on the "Skill Shot" (either by one short-plunge "Skill Shot" or three separate full-plunge attempts on each ball when the top light is lit). Once you have claimed the "Money In The Bank" briefcase & are not in a match, you hit each green "Tag" standup, then shoot the green "Tag" insert at the left scoop. The DMD will then instruct you to shoot either ramp to start the Tag Team Championship title match.

The "read me" file states:
- Added new rule to Money in the Bank. Rule now starts championship to
the next non-active wrestling match or Tag Team Multiball match.

***EDIT: After playing some more, it looks like you DO NOT need to win the U.S. Championship Title match first in order to start the Tag Team Championship match. As long as you've first claimed the "Money In The Bank" briefcase by hitting its skill shot (either by one short-plunge "Skill Shot" or three separate full-plunge attempts on each ball when the top light is lit), you can proceed to start Tag Team Championship after you've won your first match.

There's an additional setting for the ring kickers in the Service Menu under Adjustments > WWE > Feature Adjustment #36 where you can choose when to have the Slammers Active:
1. "Ring/Match (Default)"
2. "Always"
3. "Ring"

Also, Feature Adjustment #37 ("Slammer Assist") I changed to "No" for home play. That way, if the ball happens to get into the ring when you're not in a match, the ring kickers won't keep kicking the ball around automatically.

From what I've observed so far, it looks like for "Ring/Match" setting, the ring kickers are active during a match both (1) when the ball is in the ring as well as (2) when the ball is on the lower playfield during a match.

For just "Ring" setting, the ring kickers are only active during a match when the ball is in the ring.

After playing some more, it looks like you DO NOT need to win the U.S. Championship Title match first in order to start the Tag Team Championship match.

As long as you've first claimed the "Money In The Bank" briefcase by hitting its skill shot (either by one short-plunge "Skill Shot" or three separate full-plunge attempts on each ball when the top light is lit), you can proceed to start Tag Team Championship after you've won your first regular match.

Once you've claimed the "Money In The Bank" skill shot & you're not in a match, hit the 2 green "Tag" standup targets, then shooting the green "Tag" insert at the left scoop, then shoot either ramp to start Tag Team Championship match.

To claim the "Money In The Bank" briefcase off of 1 short-plunge skill shot, you want to plunge the ball *just enough* so that it goes up the ladder to hit the switch for the top light (when it is lit), and then have the ball fall back down the ladder to the lower playfield.

If you do it correctly, there will be a corresponding DMD animation as well as an announcer callout that states that you have claimed the "Money In The Bank" briefcase.

Pretty much every WWE game I've ever seen eventually had the peeling decal issue. Contact Stern tech support & they will send you new decals.

The ramps are supposed to be that way.

Make sure you install the latest code update for the improved gameplay:

I think that the majority of your first matches per game are against new wrestler opponents. Once you pin & defeat one or two new wrestlers within the same game, you'll start to randomly see the classic legend wrestlers as opponents.
