WWE WrestleMania 30: 4 Way Tag Title Match Announced

WWE continues to shuffle the WrestleMania 30 lineup and have finally settled on a tag team title match as The Usos are set to defend the titles against the teams of Ryback & Curtis Axel (aka Rybaxel), the Real Americans (Cesaro & Jack Swagger) and Los Matadores. As I look at that matchup, my first thought is why are Los Matadores in a tag title match while a team like Cody Rhodes and Goldust are stuck in the battle? Since Los Matadores won against Rybaxel on Raw (via a cheap rollup) that could be why they're getting the shot. It's also possible that WWE wants to do some kind of breakup angle for the Rhodes Brothers during the battle royal, so that's why they're in that match. The Real Americans are likely in there to continue their split. It's obvious that Cesaro is going to turn babyface in the very near future, so why not at WrestleMania? Perhaps they can lose the match due to some form of miscommunication and then after the match Cesaro could give Swagger the swing to a huge ovation. It would be the greatest swing ever because it would be in front of 70,000 fans that would be firmly behind Cesaro. Ryback and Curtis Axel are a couple of former "Paul Heyman guys" that have formed a bond simply because they have nothing else going on as singles wrestlers. Since both were pushed pretty heavily last year, it's understandable that WWE would want to include them in a WrestleMania match. It makes a lot of sense for The Usos to retain. It's interesting that the storyline they had with the New Age Outlaws was completely dropped because it appeared as though they were going to defend the tag titles against them, but the Outlaws have moved on to feuding with The Shield. There have been a lot of changes in the WrestleMania card over the last month, but now that the tag title match appears to be set the lineup looks like it is finally complete.
