12 Early Predictions For WWE WrestleMania 35
12. KICKOFF: SmackDown Tag Team Title Fatal Four-Way Match
After the aberration that was 2017, in which both brands boasted blinding tag team action, normal service has resumed.
On RAW, tag team wrestling is either played for laughs (The B Team) or otherwise treated as a complete joke. It's not the Revival WWE is burying on RAW - never think this week's lucky victory wasn't purely an excuse to hand promo material to Bobby Lashley next week - it is the very lost art their entire act is based on. The Authors of Pain are back, but the fact that they were away for so long hardly inspires hope.
On SmackDown, the formula is as predictable as it is draining. The Bludgeon Brothers reign with the straps, necessitating a half-hearted pre-PPV push for their next opponents. In June, it was The Club. In July, who knows? Only the result is known.
All of which renders the possibility of a featured 'Mania match - for any team - utterly remote, especially given what the high-profile role excelled within by The Usos amounted to at WrestleMania 34. When all else fails - and everything is failing - just throw together a multi-man match as a means of placating the outer reaches of a roster deemed not important enough for a role on a five hour-plus main card. The Bludgeon Brothers vs. The New Day vs. The Usos vs. SAnitY seems about right - with The Bar not appearing as a result of the Cesaro* singles push.
