RK-Bro To Challenge Usos To Tag Title Unification Match
Raw tag champs beat back challenge from Street Profits, heading to SmackDown next.
WWE might have a brand extension in place, but RK-Bro seem to believe that those rules don't apply to them.
The Raw Tag Team Champions announced Monday night that they are headed to SmackDown on Friday to confront the Bloodline to demand a tag title unification match. The duo noted that a unification bout was slated for WrestleMania Backlash, but Roman Reigns tore up the contract -- because he knew his cousins the Usos couldn't beat them, according to Randy Orton -- leading to a six-man tag match at the PLE involving Drew McIntyre instead.
But now, it looks like Orton and Riddle want to get that tag title unification match back on track, saying they will be demanding it from Reigns.

Before they could punch their ticket to SmackDown, RK-Bro had to get past the Street Profits, who challenged them for the Raw Tag Team Championship to open the show. The champs survived a spirited battle that saw the Profits keep them off-balance, but it was Riddle turning a Montez Ford frog splash attempt into an RKO for the win.
We'll have to see on Friday whether they make the match official for the next PLE, Hell in a Cell.
