10 Booking Steps For WWE Raw (April 18)
10. Kevin Owens & Chris Jericho Beat Sami Zayn & Dean Ambrose
Right now in WWE, tag-team matches just work. It's the perfect way to bring multiple feuds together, and routinely leads to enjoyable bouts. There are rivalries going on between Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Chris Jericho and Dean Ambrose, so why not amalgamate both into one situation on Monday Night Raw?
Opening the show with a hot tag match would set the pace right off the bat. Owens and Jericho are both dirt bag heels who also wouldn't trust one another, so there's an interesting story there right away. By contrast, Zayn and Ambrose couldn't be more different as babyfaces, making the situation even more intriguing.
By having Owens cheat to win over Zayn, it would only up the intensity of their feud. It's confusing that WWE elected to remove the Intercontinental Title from their midst, but it doesn't mean their upcoming matches will lose heat.
Ideally, KO would take advantage of Zayn being distracted by Jericho and Ambrose brawling on the outside to pick up the win for his team.
