5 things that could happen on RAW next week: Time to shake things up

#3 Matt Hardy & Bray Wyatt win a shot at the tag team titles

hardy and wyatt — Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt have joined forces and want to be tag team champions

Kurt Angle’s “tag team eliminator” mini-tournament (why the silly name?) will come to a conclusion next week on RAW, with Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt taking on The Revival. The winning team will go to Saudi Arabia to take on The Bar for the vacant tag titles at the Greatest Royal Rumble event.

It was nice to see The Revival get a win one year after debuting on RAW on the night after last year’s WrestleMania, but they won’t be going any further at this point. I hope I don’t have to say something similar about the Authors of Pain next year.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

Hardy and Wyatt are going to be the next RAW Tag Team Champions, and I still think that Sheamus and Cesaro will be breaking up sooner rather than later, potentially right after the Greatest Royal Rumble show.

If they fully embrace a Bray Wyatt face turn and create a true alliance between he and Matt Hardy (I think Jeff is headed to SmackDown), then I think they could really have something good here. The money, I think, is in these guys teaming up rather than feuding.

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.
