After their backstage segment last night, it appears as if these two men are going to team up with each other on Raw in the near future. I also understand that this isn't the first time they've teamed up, since they were a dominant tag team in FCW and OVW, prior to Marella being called up to the main roster to defeat the late Umaga for the Intercontinental championship.
I believe this tag team makes sense. As much as most of you are probably annoyed with Santino's comedic antics, you have to admit that he is probably the funniest thing on Raw every Monday night. And as we found out during their backstage segment, it seems as if Santino speaks some decent Russian. So I can totally see these guys playing a comedic role as a foreign tag team that will quickly gain heat over time unless the WWE continues to spotlight Santino and his comedy, only this time around, it'll be at Koslov's expense.
Both of these men haven't really found their place on Raw over the past 6 months, so it really makes sense to team them up. They already have tag team chemistry (considering their FCW stint), they're both foreign and speak the same language, neither man is able to make a singles impact on the show, the WWE is severely lacking tag teams, and the WWE still sees some value in them to the point where they kept them on the same show after the draft occurred.
What are everyone else's thoughts on this new tag team? Any ideas for a team name (if they choose to give them one)? Let's discuss.
