This week, RAW had some surprises in store but the major twist took place in the main event of the night. Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson, who were the RAW Tag-Team Champions, put the twin belts on the line against Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman. It was certainly an unusual alliance but Strowman and Rollins managed to defeat The OC and became the new RAW Tag-Team Champions.
The match was not supposed to take place this week as AJ Styles was originally scheduled to defend the US Title against Braun Strowman. The match had a predictable ending when Gallows & Anderson interfered the bout. The three members of The OC outnumbered the Monster among Men who was looking helpless. When Strowman was getting assaulted, Rollins came out to rescue him as Strowman also saved Rollins last week.
The two men eventually decided to challenge Gallows & Anderson for the twin red belts. Rollins, who is already the Universal Champion, became a double champion for the third time in his career. Strowman, on the other hand, won the RAW Tag-Team Titles for the second time in his WWE career.
There is no doubt that Rollins and Strowman make a formidable alliance and they are the team to beat. The Red Brand has several tag teams who could challenge the current RAW Tag-Team Champions. Let's take a look at four such teams who could become the next challengers for Braun Strowman and Seth Rolins.
#4 The Usos
The Usos have been in the title picture for a long time but they haven't been able to get the job done. When The Revival held the twin belts, Jimmy and Jey challenged them a couple of times. Moreover, they were part of the triple threat match when Gallows & Anderson won the RAW Tag-Team Titles a few weeks ago.
There is no denying that The Usos are one of the most decorated tag teams in WWE. After the Superstar Shake-up this year, The Usos moved to RAW. During their tenure on SmackDown Live, the twin brothers dominated the SmackDown Tag-Team division. The Usos are a six-time Tag-Team Champions and they won the SmackDown Tag-Team Titles four times. Considering The Usos never won the RAW Tag-Team Titles, they could be targeting Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman.
#3 The Street Profits
The Street Profits are not surprising entrants here as they are part of the main roster. Angelo Dawkins and Kenneth Crawford first appeared on RAW last month and they have been regular on the Red Brand. Though the two men are yet to perform in the squared circle, they have been offering exciting backstage promos.
The Street Profits are the current NXT Tag-Team Champions. The duo signed for NXT in 2016 and they have been very successful. The two men won the NXT Tag-Team Titles a couple of months ago when they won a four-way tag-team ladder match. They are currently having a feud with Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly of The Undisputed Era. The two teams collided at NXT Takeover: Toronto where the Street Profits retained the belts successfully.
According to a report, The Street Profits dropped their belts to the Undisputed Era during NXT TV tapings. If it is true, we could see the in-ring debuts of Angelo Dawkins and Kenneth Crawford in the next few weeks. They could be a breath of fresh air in the RAW Tag-Team division. Imagine the first impression they could make if they manage to dethrone Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman.
#2 The Viking Raiders
The Viking Raiders could possess a serious threat to Strowman & Rollins. Since Erik and Ivar made their debut on the main roster, they have been on a roll. Despite being part of RAW for a few months, they haven't been in the title picture but the fans will be hoping to see them fight at Clash of Champions.
Before they signed for WWE, The Viking Raiders had significant success in other promotions. They signed for Vince McMahon's company in 2018 and they took the NXT Tag-Team division by storm. After winning the NXT Tag-Team Titles, they were dominant champions as they never lost the belts. When Erik and Ivar moved to the main roster, they relinquished the twin belts.
Considering their run on the main roster, the company has big plans for The Viking Raiders. As a matter of fact, they have been undefeated and they are gradually building momentum to reach the top of the ladder. In recent weeks, they have been squashing local wrestlers but it will not be surprising if they decide to challenge the current RAW Tag-Team Champions.
#1 The OC (Gallows & Anderson)
The team of Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman defeated The OC to grab the RAW Tag-Team Titles, hence, they certainly deserve a rematch. If WWE decides to continue the storyline, The OC could tussle Strowman and Rollins at Clash of Champions. With the guidance of AJ Styles, Gallows & Anderson will have a bright possibility to recapture the twin belts.
Prior to the reunion, Gallows & Anderson were just another tag team on the Red Brand. Despite being extremely talented they weren't propelled well in the past few years but the scenario altered when they teamed up with the Phenomenal One. Since Gallows & Anderson were the bad guys, Styles turned heel to join hands. The heel turn certainly rejuvenated Styles' character, while Gallows & Anderson started to gain momentum.
When Gallows & Anderson won the RAW Tag-Team Titles a few weeks back, a large number of fans speculated a solid run for The OC but it didn't happen. They dropped the twin titles within just three weeks, nevertheless, they lost the belts to the two top guys of the company. Since WrestleMania 35, the RAW Tag-Team Titles haven't been on the line in a pay-per-view, therefore, it will be interesting to see if the rematch takes place at Clash of Champions.
