While I agree that the way they do it (put three random guys against Tag team+1) is bad, I think the 6-man tag is the future of tag team wrestling. If you look at the trio's championships in Lucha-underground (or other promotions) it is way more exciting than traditional 2v2 action.
WWE has a good record of making use the freebird formula (1 talker, 1 worker, 1 big man) in it's most successful stables (Shield, New Day). They just need to turn one of the belts into a trios format (i'd suggest the new smackdown show).
The biggest arguments towards six-man tags are having more people in the show, and spreading the match load over more people so as to put "less mileage" on everyone.
