4 Teams that could be the next RAW Tag Team Champions

The ending to this week's Monday Night Raw as was shocking as the start. While the show started on a gut-wrenching note when Roman Reigns announced that he will be relinquishing the Universal Championship as he has been diagnosed with leukemia and will be stepping away from the ring for an indefinite period, the ending to the show was something fans have expecting for a long time.

It's just that they weren't excepting to see it at the moment. Dean Ambrose finally turned on his Shield Brethern Seth Rollins after the duo captured the RAW Tag Team Championships by defeating Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre thus leaving a lot of loose end for next Monday Night.

Next week's edition of Monday Night Raw promises to be an absolute can't miss episode as we finally get the answer as to why Ambrose did what he did. While Ambrose and Rollins winning the tag titles was a great ending to the show given how it started and Ambrose's heel turn served as the perfect cliffhanger, it came at an expense of the RAW tag team division which has been buried time and again by the WWE creative team.

With that being said, Monday Night RAW needs new tag team champions and here are four teams whom we think that can replace Ambrose and Rollins and lead the red brand's tag division in the coming months:

#4 Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre

The Showoff Dolph Ziggler and The Scottish Psychopath Drew Mcintyre

This one was quite easy. Given the brawl between Ambrose and Rollins and the fact that they are guaranteed of a Championship rematch, we believe that Ziggler and McIntyre would eventually win back the RAW Tag Team Championship. Given how chaotic the ending to their match, Constable Baron Corbin nullifying the result and warding the titles back to Ziggler and McIntyre is a high possibility.

Besides, we think Ziggler and McIntyre shouldn't have dropped the title in the first place. While the Sheild winning at the end of what was a whirlwind of a night for the faction was a genuine feel-good moment, Ambrose turning on Rollins was probably the first time that someone turned on their partner right after reaching the pinnacle of the division.

Ziggler and McIntyre have been great champions for the red brand after the disastrous B-Team experiment. They have already put on two excellent matches against Rollins and Ambrose and with this rivalry in the back burner, we hope to see the duo scale new heights in the tag team division.

#3 Chad Gable and Bobby Roode

Another team that has been gathering a lot of momentum for the past few weeks albeit by defeating one of the badly booked acts in the company, The Ascension, is the team of Bobby Roode and Chad Gable. After garnering victories over Connor and Victor in singles matches, Roode and Gable have got the better of their opponents in multiple tag team matches.

While they have just been paired together, Gable and Roode are renowned for being tag team specialist and their resume speaks for itself. Their current position in the card and the lack of any storyline might have been the reason why they were put together in the first place and to be honest we think that they look together. Their camaraderie in the ring is infectious and the duo entrance is very goofy, to say the least.

Gable and Roode are two of the most well-rounded performers in the red brand and together they can carry the tag team division if they are afforded the opportunity.

#2 Authors of Pain

One of the most dominating tag teams in the NXT history, AOP's main roster has been a mixed bag so far. After dismantling opponents and winning championships in NXT, Akam and Rezar finally arrived on RAW after WrestleMania 34. After squashing local talents for a few weeks, the duo did not appear on Monday nights for a few months. Upon returning, they were put in a pointless feud against Titus worldwide.

The duo traded victories with Apollo Crews and Titus O'Neill and this feud turned AOP into just another act on Monday Nights. But things are starting to look up for the duo. After severing their ties with former Manager cum mentor, Paul Ellering, AOP have finally found a new manager in Drake Maverick.

Although they aren't part of any major storylines right now, a team like AOP will undoubtedly help in reviving the ailing tag team division on the red brand.

#1 The Revival

Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder are one of the best tag teams on the planet

The Revival are without a doubt one of the best tag team in not only the WWE but the entire wrestling world. Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder are the embodiment of what a tag team wrestler should be. They are brash, cocky but they are the best at what they do.

After carrying the yellow brand's tag team division for more than a year, the top guys made their main roster debut on the RAW after WrestleMania 33 interrupting the New Day to a raucous reception from the crowd in Orlando. But a state of injuries, first to Wilder and then to Dawson meant that the duo was sidelined for almost a year.

Upon their return, Dawson and Wilder unsuccessfully challenged for the RAW Tag Team Championship on various occasions. The Revival were also made to put over a team like the B-Team, who are nothing but a comedy act. Dawson and Wilder were attacked backstage by Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre before their rematch against The B-Team for the tag titles. Ziggler and McIntyre got the better of The B-Team and captured the RAW Tag Team Championship, sadly it came at the expense of the Revival.

The Revival reminds one of the classic tag teams of the 80's. Wilder and Dawson, were the backbone of NXT's tag division for over a year putting on classic matches against the likes of DIY, AOP and American Alpha. We don't any reason why they can't do it again. The Top Guys deserve this after the horrendous booking they have endured for the past few months.
