6. A Non-Title Tag Feud

It's hard to argue with this, because WWE set about the task of kickstarting a non-title feud in the tag-team division. That...doesn't happen often in company circles, so it's ace to see some spotlight on the rest of the chasing pack; the fact The Usos weren't on tap to steal attention away also helped.

Hit Row's rap was decent, and they disposed of Maximum Male Models with relative ease. Now, all going well, creative will book an ambush from Mace and Mansoor (yep, f*ck those accents!) on next week's show and then give both teams 10-15 minutes of ring team to thrash it out and look competitive.

Why not?

MMM are fine return opponents for Top Dolla and Ashante Thee Adonis anyway. Mansoor will bounce around for both, and then you've got the big power man in Mace to come in for a heel beatdown bit. Nobody should have any problem with WWE starting this mini-feud.
