3. The Prime Time Players Have Found A Winning Formula

It's nice to see that the Prime Time Players duo of Darren Young and Titus O'Neil are finally getting a push to the tag titles. There was a period for about two months when they were only shown in three minute backstage skits doing impressions of other tag teams. All they did was talk trash about those guys and barely wrestled. Guys won't get over doing backstage segments. In the last two weeks, their wins have done more for them than anything they have done in years. Their win over the Lucha Dragons and The Ascension wasn't much of a surprise. They're a face team that can go up against The New Day and it's a fresh feud. Young's a good worker that can get beat up for most of the match, then O'Neil gets the hot tag, does his power moves and they can go to the finish that way. O'Neil is too limited as a performer to be that great on his own, so it's better to keep them together because he fits very well in this team.
