#4 Best/worst: The Shane McMahon/Miz alliance

I am not sure how I feel about this team

I am a big fan of The Miz and used to be a Shane McMahon fan, back in the day. Of course, both of them are huge WWE superstars. I just don't like them cutting in line ahead of every other Tag Team for a SmackDown Tag Team title opportunity. Especially when actual tag teams are part of the current roster!

Are Gallows and Anderson just going to be bodies in the Royal Rumble match? Are SAnitY never going to reach the kind of success that they did while they were down in developmental? As entertaining as The Miz and Shane McMahon can be in their skits, they're not going to be nearly as much fun in the ring.

Did you know a top WWE Superstar just wrestled outside the company? More details HERE

Let's hope they don't become Champions, at the Royal Rumble. This would be a very Nicholas-like move.

Becky Lynch is another story.
