#5 on things WWE RAW for right this week - The tag teams got the spotlight

Alpha Academy and RK-Bro met for the final round in their competition on Monday night. Gable explained the rules of the quiz bowl before the competition kicked off.

The two teams tested their intelligence as they answered some tough questions. In the end, Randy Orton answered the final question correctly to win for his team. Once the competition ended, The Street Profits arrived for a match against Alpha Academy.

Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins took the fight to the RAW Tag Team Champions before The Dozer came in to gain the upper hand. The two teams hit their signature moves but could not get the pin.

Gable tried to apply the ankle lock to Angelo Dawkins but settled for a roll-up pin for the win. It was good to see the top three tag teams of the brand get the spotlight early on. Street Profits need to remain at the top as they have been phenomenal since their debut.

Meanwhile, the rivalry between Alpha Academy and RK-Bro will likely take the two teams to Elimination Chamber for a title match.

#4. AJ Styles pinned Damian Priest on WWE RAW

WWE RAW ended the rivalry between Damian Priest and Kevin Owens without any logical outcome. AJ Styles stepped in to take on Priest for a possible chance to win a United States title shot.

Priest started well and kept the pressure on Styles for some time. A big clothesline earned The Archer of Infamy a near fall. AJ fought back and used his experience to his advantage.

A Pele Kick earned The Phenomenal One the upper hand as he took the fight to the United States Champion. He ended the match with a Phenomenal Forearm to pick up the win.

The match wasn’t too long, but it helped Styles get back on top. Priest earned his second pinfall loss on RAW after falling to Owens a few weeks ago. It looks like the creative team will be taking the title off Priest soon.

Styles feels like the perfect superstar who could turn face and win the title at Elimination Chamber for another great championship run. It would free up Priest and aim for the WWE Championship soon.

#3. Lita took down Becky Lynch to make a statement on WWE RAW

Hall of Famer Lita made her way to the ring to cut a promo on WWE RAW. She claimed that being in the ring for the Royal Rumble made her feel like she was home once again. She spoke about how badly she wanted a match against Becky Lynch for the RAW Women’s Championship.

The Man thanked Lita for the kind words and claimed that without Lita, there would be no Becky Lynch. However, now that Big Times Becks existed, there was no room for Lita.

Tensions between the two rose, and things got physical. The Man took down the Hall of Famer and returned to hit the Manhandle Clam. Lita countered and hit a Twist of Fate before finishing her off with a moonsault.

The segment helped hype the match between the two superstars. It was great to see them exchange words and moves before their big match at Elimination Chamber. They will likely put on a great match that will help Lynch get over as the top female superstar of the company.

#2. Kevin Owens got the better of Austin Theory on WWE RAW

Austin Theory defeated Kevin Owens on WWE RAW last week. The two superstars had a rematch on this week’s show. The former took the fight and stomped his opponent down right after the bell. Owens fought back and delivered a few stiff chest chops.

The fight spilled over to the floor, where KO hit a senton off the steps to punish the young superstar. He followed it up with a cannonball in the corner and a frog splash from the apron to the floor.

Theory countered the Pop-up Powerbomb and Stunner to hit a suplex of his own. Owens used his power and experience to regain control of the contest and soon delivered a Stunner for the win.

The match was tremendous and gave both men a chance to shine. It was arguably Theory’s best match on the main roster, and he got a good rub out of it.

The crowd got behind KO in the contest, and he delivered well. He is arguably the top heel on the brand, and the RAW creative team could look to out a top title on him in the months to come.

#1. Riddle and Seth Rollins had a great first match on WWE RAW

Riddle and Seth Rollins competed in their first match against each other on WWE RAW. They started with standard moves before the former locked his opponent in an armbar.

Rollins countered to take back control as the match spilled outside the ring. The Visionary pulled him off the apron and powerbombed him into the barricade.

The Original Bro took control of the contest before Kevin Owens came out of nowhere and nailed him with a forearm to the face. Orton ran down to save his partner from The Prizefighter with an RKO.

The match turned into a tag team contest, and Orton controlled the fight's pace. The two teams had some great exchanges and traded signature moves. In the end, The Visionary caught Riddle with the Stomp for the win.

The match was entertaining and made the main event much better. It looks like Owens and Rollins could be moving into the tag team division soon.
