Move over Sheamus and Cesaro, because ex-Shield comrades Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins have just been installed as Raw's next permanent tag-team. What this means for the future of stalwarts like The Hardy Boyz is anyone's guess, but it does seem a little coincidental that Ambrose and Rollins are teaming when John Cena is on his way to Raw.

It's almost like Raw's creative team wanted to clear a path for Cena by eliminating some big stars from the singles scene in time for his arrival. At the same time, neither Ambrose or Rollins looked to have much to do individually, so it made sense to put them together. Now, they're Raw Tag-Team Champions.

WWE won't rush putting Roman Reigns back alongside his former running buddies either, so it seems Rollins and Ambrose will be a permanent duo until at least the end of 2017. As SummerSlam showed, they have great chemistry with Sheamus and Cesaro, who will also be handed the rematch treatment soon.
