Whether you like the B-Team concept or not, at least WWE is riding it through.

Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel survived a tag team battle royal Monday night and stumbled into a Raw Tag Team Championship match at Money in the Bank, winning when Heath Slater accidentally knocked Rhyno off the apron while trying to slam Dallas. It was the kind of dumb luck that these two would end up with a win despite not directly eliminating anyone.

At some point, either the duo will have to win on their own, or they’ll fade to the background. But for now, at least it’s been a few weeks of them consistently finding a way to win. It’s somewhat entertaining, and given the lack of depth of the Raw tag division, this is as good as it gets right now.
