5 things that could happen on RAW next week: Shake Up Fallout

#3 Dallas & Axel lose to the AOP and break up

miz — The Miztourage refuse to make a tag to The Miz on his last night on RAW

In another episode of “I hope, but I’m not holding my breath”, I think next week could be the end of Dallas and Axel as a tag team. I somewhat expect that one of them will be moved over to SmackDown with that guy getting a chance at a singles run, but we’ll see what happens there.

I expect that now that Miz is gone they will also disband, but not before being sacrificed to the Authors of Pain. My personal hope would be for them to reinvent themselves, start wearing matching ring gear and become a true tag team, but it’s another thing I’m not willing to hold my breath for.

The Authors of Pain are a good team but I don’t know where they fit in yet. Putting them in a feud for the Tag Titles right away would be a bad idea if they plan to keep Hardy and Wyatt as a team because it means that either the Deleters of Worlds or Authors of Pain have to take a loss that neither team should be taking. If they are breaking up, then they could strap a rocket on the AOP and give them the belts pretty quickly.

I don’t expect that to happen so soon, so I think they’re going to go the route of the Bludgeon Brothers and have them spend a while (possibly too long) destroying lower level teams and “local talents”.

About the author

I got my first big break writing for 411Mania back in 2004. I did a small spot in a big weekly piece that was written by one of the site's top writers. I quickly added the duty of being the live recapper for episodes of SmackDown, and in 2005 was given my own weekly column, which I did for a few years. I gave up writing (mostly) to start a family but got back into it, still at 411, a little over 3 years later. For another couple of years, I wrote 2-3 columns per week for the website before finding paid work elsewhere, and eventually wound up at SportsKeeda.

I am also the co-founder of the RBR: Weekly Wrestling Talk podcast, which started in the summer of 2005 and is still going strong today, almost 15 years later. Due to school, work, and family commitments, I left the team in 2011 but still remain a part of the family.
