5 reasons why Seth Rollins & Kevin Owens should win the RAW Tag Team Championships

The newly-formed tag team of Seth "Freakin" Rollins and Kevin Owens are now in the mix for the RAW Tag Team Championship.

By beating RK-Bro this past Monday on the red brand, they have now been inserted into the RAW tag team titles match scheduled two weeks from now.

Rollins and Owens will take on RK-Bro and the Alpha Academy in a triple threat match for the latter's tag team titles. A win for them would see their team become the measuring stick of the division heading into WrestleMania.

The alliance between the former world champions has put the entire tag division on notice. They have already showcased the threat they pose and are now in prime position to capture their first titles as a team.

Here are five reasons why Rollins and Owens should win the RAW tag team titles two weeks from now.

#5 In our list of reasons why Seth Rollins & Kevin Owens should win the RAW Tag Team Championships: It elevates the titles

With all due respect to the Alpha Academy and RK-Bro, the RAW Tag Team Championship would receive more of a shot in the arm if Rollins and Owens held them. The Visionary and the Prizefighter are two top-class singles competitors and having them reign as champions would raise the bar.

Having the duo of former world champions capture the gold would also put RAW's tag team scene on the same level as that of SmackDown's. On the blue brand, the Usos' reign of terror has made for compelling storylines and in-ring action. RAW is yet to deliver on that level, but it could all change when the titles swap hands.

Rollins and Owens becoming RAW Tag Team Champions would instantly allow for teams to have a higher benchmark to aim at. With the cocky team as the face of the red brand's tag division, their eventual defeat would be that much more of a payoff.

#4 It gives Rollins and Owens a noteworthy WrestleMania storyline

Until recently, the Road to WrestleMania hadn’t exactly been paved for the Architect and his nemesis-turned-partner. After weeks of teasing, they joined forces and have little direction heading into the Show of Shows.

That could change if the superstars capture the tag team championships. Setting them up to defend their RAW tag team titles at WrestleMania would ensure a marquee match for one or more teams to compete in. It would also give Seth and KO a purposeful WrestleMania feud and the next chapter of their alliance.

#3 It could restore credibility to the floundering superstars

Rollins and Owens found themselves at a crossroads a few weeks ago. The Architect failed to win the Universal Championship from Roman Reigns at the Royal Rumble despite a valiant showing. The former Kevin Steen, on the other hand, failed to win the Money in the Bank contract and the WWE Championship.

The duo joining forces was the first step in redemption. However, there is more to be achieved if they capture the tag team titles. Doing so would make them champions again and give them their dues for their contribution to the RAW brand.

#2 It could allow for a Champion vs. Champion match

With the aforementioned Usos running roughshod over the SmackDown tag team division, they are running out of potential challengers. However, there are plenty of challengers for them beyond the blue brand; none more exciting than Rollins and Owens.

The two teams faced off on SmackDown a few weeks ago, with the Usos losing via disqualification. However, should the newest entrants in the RAW Tag Team Championship match end up winning their match, the stage could be set for a rematch.

The clash will most certainly be a must-see spectacle with high stakes and drama involved. Add in the potential Roman Reigns factor, and WWE have a gold mine on their hands.

#1 It could sow the seeds for their eventual separation

If there’s one thing we know about WWE, it’s that no tag team in WWE lasts forever. They all break up one way or another, whether it is in slow-burn style or as sudden impact.

The same fate awaits Rollins and Owens at some point. Tensions will rise, and they will part ways. Given the nature of the two superstars, one will most certainly turn on the other, and that’s where the RAW tag team titles come in.

If the duo are champions, their greed and ego will be unbearable. When they lose the titles, one of them will blame the other for their defeat. Cue a few more unsuccessful attempts to take the titles back and there will be the scenario of one wrestler turning on the other.
