In the WWE RAW opening match, The Miz and John Morrison locked horns with The New Day in a tag team match. Both teams were previously involved in a brief war of words that led to their in-ring battle. While the math wasn’t bad, it is the entire booking surrounding both teams that ended up showing both Miz and Morrison in a weaker light.

Both Kingston and Woods relied on their usual in-ring maneuvers to dominate the match. Miz and Morrison had a few moments in which they looked like credible opponents, but that didn’t help them for long. In the end, Woods and Kingston ended up picking a comfortable win over Miz and Morrison which is not the best decision for WWE RAW at the moment.

The Red brand needs a few tag teams to step up and pose a serious challenge for the WWE RAW Tag Team Champions. If not, we will go back to seeing the championships wrapped around The New Day. While Kingston and Woods are undoubtedly good champions, it is always good to see fresh challenges. Moreover, Miz should be booked strongly, especially now that he has his Money in the Bank contract back with himself.
