Last night on the Red brand, the RAW Tag Team titles were on the line as The Viking Raiders took on Seth Rollins and Buddy Murphy. It should be noted that Murphy is now a part of Rollins' stable, which also includes the Authors of Pain. A Stomp on the apron, followed by Murphy bagging the pin, resulted in the two men winning the Tag Team titles.

Pairing up someone of Rollins' caliber with Murphy, and then handing them the Tag Team belts, is certainly an intriguing move by WWE. It would be interesting to see where the duo goes from here.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
