10 Bold Predictions For WWE Draft
9. Tag Teams Separated
But also make sure you expect the obvious, as well. As the announcers have already started reminding us on Raw this week, tag teams are always a big target for splitting up around these draft events. The key will be splitting the right teams up and keeping the other teams together. You don't want to cripple an already weak leg of your wrestling brand.
The first names that come to mind are the Lucha House Party. Probably better off in any other scenario, Kalisto, Lince Dorado, and Gran Metalik are all likely to be ready for something new. Coming out to the ring with a pinata and jobbing to whatever tag team needs a victory that week (or Lars Sullivan) is not a prime position after all. That may be why they teased a potential departure back in August.
Now the rest of the tag team division becomes tougher. Maybe Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler will get split seeing as they were just thrown together anyway, but it feels too soon for an experiment that has worked rather well.
The O.C. was hinted as a possibility for splitting on Raw this week as well but that would likely piss off all three members. Probably one of the best but most unlikely scenarios is that the Viking Raiders are sundered, to abandon this failed gimmick before it damages them further.
Apart from that, which teams will split is largely unpredictable. But that is the point isn't it?
