If there's anything SmackDown can't really afford to be giving up at this point, it's their tag teams - although Raw isn't much better off. There are so few credible units between both shows that there's an argument to be made that the tag team division should go the way of the Cruiserweights.

Since that's not going to happen, we'll have to make do with what we have. While WWE obviously has the much greater star power on Raw, especially considering the return of The Hardy Boyz, SmackDown has a handful of teams that can get it done in the squared circle. Surprisingly enough, Heath Slater and Rhyno were among them, and now they've been moved to Raw.

When the two were paired together it was thought to be a brief throwaway joke - but WWE has managed to get an amazingly lengthy run out of the duo, their chemistry being the largest contributing factor. Slater has endeared himself to fans in a rare way and Rhyno is still the lovable monster enjoying the nostalgia run.

The move to Raw could easily mean they will be inserted into the tag scene, but it could also mean that WWE intends to have them go their separate ways. Count me among those who think Heath has the potential to be a much bigger star than he's been given the opportunity to be thus far. Hopefully WWE will test that theory.

Even if the two remain together for an extended period, Heath Slater and Rhyno are a fun act that will energize crowds and serve as credible contenders in the Raw tag team division.
