Over on the men's side of things in the tag division, things are no less unruly.

Braun Strowman and Seth Rollins are short-term champs for sure; their run as Raw Tag Champions only exists to create some intrigue for their Universal Title feud, and it'll end as quickly as it started. The suggestion posed here is to take a chance on Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode, who have been showing chemistry, and develop them as a "proper" unit.

The easy play is having Braun lash out at Seth following a communication breakdown, thus opening the door for Dolph and Robert to back up their bold claims in promos and win the belts. Then, all going well, Raw's tag ranks can recover from the old "odd couple champions" routine and get back to weekly relevancy with fans.

Side note: Roode's moustache in the match graphic is irksome. He doesn't have one anymore, and it's weird that WWE chose to use that particular promo pic when they've surely got countless others of the guy with his usual stubbled look.
