WWE Extreme Rules 2019: 10 Things That Must Happen

10. Both Tag Titles Stay Put

There's no convincing argument for either set of Tag-Team Titles changing hands this Sunday.

As good as The Usos are, it'd suck to see them cut The Revival's reign short at just over one month. Dash and Dawson are genuinely interesting, which is a vast improvement over predecessors like Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder, Bobby Roode and Chad Gable or The B-Team. They deserve longevity.

The same goes for your planet's tag champs over on SmackDown. Daniel Bryan has dragged Rowan kicking and screaming to relevancy with his preachy leader gimmick, and they've clicked as a team. Trashing that just to give New Day boys Xavier Woods and Big E a sixth reign, or jumpstart Heavy Machinery, would be a mistake.

Both the Raw and SmackDown tag belts are right where they need to be going into this show. Coming out of it, they must remain on a pair of heel teams who rank as some of the best in recent memory. Change for change's sake isn't always a shrewd booking strategy.
