As if this wasn't already clear from WWE television, Alpha Academy are to be added to the Raw Tag Team Title match at WrestleMania 38.

Rated RK-Bro defending their newly-won championships against the Street Profits was alluded to on this week's episode of Raw, with Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford using a recent win over Randy Orton and Riddle as justification for their shot. Orton disagreed, leading to Riddle and Ford going one-on-one, ending via no-contest following interference from Otis and Chad Gable.

Dave Meltzer writes in this week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the bout will eventually become a three-way following this angle.

RK-Bro have been Raw Tag Team Champions since the red brand's 7 March episode, when they defeated Alpha Academy and the now-defunct Seth Rollins/Kevin Owens tandem in a well-received three-way. Otis and Gable had held the straps for 142 days prior to this.

WrestleMania 38 takes place in Dallas, Texas on 2 and 3 April. There is currently no word on the date that will host the Raw Tag Team Title bout, though the SmackDown equivalent is set to take place on the first night.
