Not very, but thats more to do with the actual match than the fact there is no title being defended. The tag match just doesn't seem PPV worthy. Seems like the sort of thing you'd see on RAW in the buildup to the PPV.
Title matches are the biggest draws because they are usually the biggest feuds going on at the time with two big stars. The title adds to the match of course, but as said, it doesn't make the match. The wrestlers involved and the feud they have makes the match, and the title just makes it that little bit bigger. I definitely don't think the belt itself is a big draw.
Also, things are way different nowadays. The belt(s) sure as hell don't draw now compared to say, the 80s. They seem meaningless.
