6 Ups And 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (August 26)
2. Deflating The Tag Division
Holy hell, what a clusterf***.
As mentioned earlier, knocking the Viking Raiders out along with Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson via double-DQ deflated the entire tag team turmoil match, leaving us four bouts that were lacking in any drama or even interest.
Think about it: Two of the better tag teams were disqualified in the second of seven bouts (which became six), and then a duo teaming together for the first time proceeded to run the table over four established teams.
Worse, the thrown-together team consisted of the under-utilized and underwhelming Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler, who has spent weeks getting beat up by legends and other wrestlers and acting like a bizarre spoiled child.
But hey, they’re your new #1 contenders for the Raw Tag Team Championships! Smell the excitement for this title match.
