10 Problems WWE Solved With The 2019 Superstar Shake-Up

A hurricane of p*ss drowned Raw's tag division when Braun Strowman and a literal 10-year-old captured the belts at WrestleMania 34, dooming the scene to 12 months of crap feuds, Drake Maverick wetting himself, champions who never when the gold isn't on the line, and the bloody B-Team. The booking concerns remain, but WWE at least gave us some exciting new matches to think about on Raw.

While The Viking Experience is a dumb, dumb rebranding, Erik and Ivar are two of the best berzerkers in the business. Few tandems are more exciting when they're in full flow, and they proved it again at TakeOver: New York's white-hot opener against Ricochet and Aleister Black. Speaking of their latest NXT opponents, they may have been thrown together on a whim, but TakeOver proved their prodigious singles talents can mesh as a tag team. Finally, we have the small matter of one of the best tag teams in WWE history, The Usos, whose track record speaks for itself.

Raw lost some good people on Tuesday, and how this group will fare depends on the follow-up, but the right personnel are in place.
