A few weeks back, Tyler Breeze and Fandango debuted on Raw by defeating four-time Raw tag champs The Bar.

While no one expected them to suddenly be treated as huge stars and a threat to the tag titles, the lovable losers then turned around Monday night to lose to another tandem of lovable losers, Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel. The newly christened B-Team won their “debut” match by defeating Breezango – and being completely shocked by the outcome.

It’s not a knock against the second-generation superstars – or the idea of having them want a tag title shot and earning it – it’s this ongoing ADD-style booking, where one person/team wins one week, then another beats them, then they get beat the following week. As a result, no one is really elevated.

If Axel and Dallas string together a few wins, we’ll re-evaluate, but odds are they’ll lose to a ham sandwich next week.
