Raw's announcers made a point of noting that Monday's 'Turmoil' match would determine new contenders for the Raw Tag-Team Titles. No, not the Undisputed Tag straps all-round - just the red versions. That means WWE could be set to split those belts up again by taking some off The Usos.

Judgment Day title reign incoming, people.

Damian Priest and Finn Bálor would be fine Raw Tag-Team Champs going forwards, and WWE does have a habit of trying to squeeze as many folks onto both WrestleMania cards as humanly possible. If they shunt the Raw belts onto JD, then they'd be able to book two Tag Title matches on separate nights in April.

Incidentally, having Jimmy and Jey shed some gold before Roman Reigns defends his own belt at the Rumble could be a decent way for the writers to show cracks in The Bloodline formula. Of course, there might be another shocker waiting in the wings for this segment...
