Something that won't have escaped your attention from this week's Raw was the potential tease of Zack Ryder teaming with Curt Hawkins. Nah, I'm joking, if you missed then absolutely fair play, it's your life.

After working as the special guest referee in the Raw Tag Team Championship match, Hawkins was set upon by The Revival after not only counting the pinfall but catching them cheating numerous times. Not only did this mark him out as, somehow, the most diligent, competent official in wrestling history, but it led to Zack Ryder sprinting down to the ring to save his buddy.

Now at the time of writing WWE have not hurriedly thrown together this match for the kick-off show, but they've made a habit of last minute bonus presentations. The shock here wouldn't be the match happening, but it would be this being how Hawkins finally ends his 256-match losing streak. Stranger things have happened.
