Surely it's only a matter of time before Raw's writing team screw their heads on, realise what they have and book Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn as a full-blown tag-team.

The pair are a better, more realistic fit than current Raw Tag Champs Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt. Plus (and this is a biggie), they haven't been portrayed as a full-time unit yet. Before WWE even think about splitting them later this year, a run with the gold is a must. The bigger problem is with who they face.

Braun Strowman's momentum has arguably slowed a little despite winning the Greatest Royal Rumble and conducting that one-man tag title win at WrestleMania. The big man has loads of potential, sure, but he doesn't fit into the Universal Title scene at the moment and would need something else to do at SummerSlam.

Big Show, who has just a signed a new deal, would be perfect as a one-off partner. He could take the fall, thus simultaneously making the reigning champs look good and protecting Braun, and it'd have the added bonus of not hurting his own credibility.
