#4 AJ Styles and Omos returned during WWE RAW

WWE fans missed AJ Styles and Omos, judging by their reactions on social media when the duo was consciously absent from weekly programming following WrestleMania 37.

The RAW Tag Team Champions returned to the Red brand, but their homecoming was ruined by The New Day (Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston). This led to a WrestleMania rematch between the two teams with the titles at stake. Styles and Omos solidified their stance as the reigning champions after they defeated Woods and Kingston once again.

The current rivalry between these teams seems to have come to a conclusive end for the time being. But then again, WWE could stretch this feud for several weeks just like the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship program between The Dirty Dawgs and The Street Profits.

While The Viking Raiders must step up to Styles and Omos at some point down the line, WWE lived up to their recent reputation and broke up another tag team this week.

Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander have been on a downward spiral since being kicked out of The Hurt Business. They lost to the Lucha House Party during the most recent edition of RAW, and Alexander addressed his tag team partner, dropping a bombshell in the process.

He blamed Benjamin for being the weak link between them and effectively conveyed that he was done teaming up with the veteran.

Just like that, WWE hit the undo button on a significant portion of The Hurt Business' initial creative goals. Additionally, AJ Styles and Omos have one less duo to feud against in an already deficient tag team division.

Despite the recent trend with WWE breaking up tag teams, let's hope there will be a clear direction for Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin's careers moving forward.
