#3 Elias and Jaxson Ryker split on WWE RAW

Jaxson Ryker turned a few heads when he pinned AJ Styles to pick up a big victory on WWE RAW last week. Styles and Omos teamed up to defend their RAW Tag Team Championships against Ryker and Elias in a tag team match.

Elias took control of Styles early and hit him with a few forearm strikes. Styles answered with a few moves of his own followed by a snap suplex.

Just as The Phenomenal One tagged Omos into the match, Elias decided to bail on his partner and left him alone in the ring. Ryker could not make the tag and suffered the wrath of the giant all by himself.

Omos dominated Ryker as Elias watched on from the ramp. The Giant tagged Styles back into the ring to hit the Phenomenal Forearm to retain the titles.

This was a decent defense for the RAW Tag Team Champions. However, they need to build a better storyline to make their reign more memorable. Elias and Ryker splitting could end up being good for both men.

Elias has remained in the spotlight on the main roster despite being more of an enhancement talent. Ryker could do much better on his own as a singles performer on RAW.
