Next Week On Raw: The New Age Outlaws VS Team Rhodes Scholars

[giblet55]

Another question, what the hell is the WWE doing with Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow? They've stated that their partnership was dissolved, but they've still tagged a few times. Either the WWE is going to move forward with these two guys as a team, are started locking them into singles storylines.

I would love to see the Outlaws get one last run leading up to wrestlemania.

I rate them as one of the best tag teams of all time, Great on the mic and they can still go in the ring. I see no reason why vince won't give them a storyline and have them wrestle a match at mania.

They still look like actual wrestlers, heck they don't seem too different than they did back in the 90's so why not. They can easily do a job for the tag division, it would be good if they gave the rub to a team that WWE plans on keeping together for a couple of years though.

I really hope WWE bring the NAO back even if its for a couple of months. Both guys looked really good in the ring and got a good reaction from the crowd. Hell No are looking likely to drop the belts and split up at Mania and whoever picks up the belts are going to need to get a rub of a top team to really get over with the crowd and the NAO would be the perfect choice.

I'm not a big fan of nostalgia at the expense of the current roster but the tag divsion is dead right now and the Outlaws could help spark it back into life and elevate the younger teams.

It's possible that this match with Rhodes Scholars is going to be used to that due back together with a big win over a legendary team and springboard them towards the tag titles at Mania.

One other aspect that hasn't been considered is they are Triple H's buddies and Brock Lesnar will be there next week, he may just come out and destroy them to send a message.

I can't see any reason for them being brought back and having another match set for next week unless the plan is to have them become the top contenders going into WM29. The only other team that is actually over enough to face Hell No would be Tensai and Brodus, but I doubt they will be the challengers. The Shield is obviously headed for a 6 man match with Orton, Sheamus and Show. Rhodes Scholars have had multiple matches for the titles and lost every time, and now both of them job every week on TV. Not to mention that it appears that Sandow has started something with Kofi & Truth, who apparently may be reteaming. I look for both of those teams to be on opposing sides of the obligatory Mania 8 or ten man match. Epico/Primo, PTP, and the Usos are all basically jobber teams, and Rey is out with an injury again, eliminating him and Cara. 3MB is a joke. The Outlaws will get a big pop and create excitement for the tag match, something that no other challengers have the ability to do. I get that they were fun to see on Old School Raw, but with them having done several house shows lately, as well as being booked for next week, it is more than obvious there is a longer term plan for them. I am actually glad that Hell No has not broken up yet, though I think it will happen at Mania, and they will drop the titles. If they split before WM, then that is yet another rematch that would be on the card. With only a month to go, I can't see them splitting up now, as it would mean building a match between them, and figuring out something for the tag titles as well. I think the Outlaws become the challengers and take the belts as Hell No finally breaks up.

I am all for a final run from The New Age Outlaws. WWE isn't really doing anything with the tag division right now aside from Team Hell No so why not let the Outlaws come in and have a few matches. If they would get to run with the titles then at the very least they could put another team over when losing them. By the looks of Monday they can still go in the ring. NAO vs Rhodes Scholars should be a good match up, and I will be interested to see where they go from there.

[ultramattman]

What I'd do:

Team Hell No lose the belts on RAW to PTP. PTP's credibility doesn't matter because Team Hell No will beat itself, solidifying their split. This leads to Kane v. Bryan at Mania.

PTP do something to piss Booker or Vickie off, and get stuck having to defend the titles in a gauntlet match at Wrestlemania. New Age Outlaws enter the match last and defeat Team Rhodes Scholars to win the titles.

Yay, finally something good for the tag team division. New Age Outlaws are currently better than any tag team in the WWE right now, and just simply because of their name, they should get a shot at the tag titles at Wrestlemania.
