How bad is the Raw tag team scene is right now?

When you have to build up a contender by having them beat the champs three times, that’s a pretty sparse tag scene. And yet, that’s how Titus Worldwide got its tag title match last month, and probably how it will get a Raw Tag Team Championship match at Elimination Chamber.

Titus O’Neil and Apollo (apparently he lost his last name along the way, because it clearly was holding him back) have only beat The Bar in tag team action. They haven’t defeated The Revival, or The Club, or even the Miztourage or Heath Slater & Rhyno. Not even local jobbers on Main Event.

But they’ve toppled the tag champs three times, including on Raw Monday night in a dismally bad match. Who books this crap?
