3 Tag Teams against whom Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler should defend their Raw Tag Team Titles against

The Show!
The Show!

Ever since marking their arrival on Monday Night Raw several months ago, the dynamic duo of Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre have been on an absolute roll, having already gone toe-to-toe with some of the red brand's top superstars in the likes of Braun Strowman, Finn Balor, and more importantly against The Shield.

Initially, upon their inception, Ziggler immediately went on to win his sixth WWE Intercontinental Championship by defeating Seth Rollins and eventually igniting a heated rivalry with the newly reunited Shield.

However, after subsequently dropping the IC Title back to 'The Architect' at SummerSlam, Rollins and McIntyre then set their sights on the Raw Tag Team Championships and in a rather shocking turn of events, 'The Showoff' and 'The Scottish Psychopath' went on to capture the Raw Tag Titles by defeating The B-Team on an episode of Raw.

Following their Raw Tag Title win over Axel and Dallas, the new champions then went on to successfully defend their straps against the newly reunited duo of Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose at Hell in a Cell, in what was an absolutely thunderous tag team match.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

And earlier this week on Monday Night Raw, The Show was on course to yet another outstanding victory over former two-time NXT Tag Team Champions The Revival, who despite a resilient effort failed to capture the Raw Tag Titles from McIntyre and Ziggler.

With that being said, it'll only be fair for the WWE to look ahead of themselves and make sure that they keep the ball on McIntyre and Ziggler's court by having the two men defend the Raw Tag Titles against some of the biggest tag teams on the red brand. Therefore, here are three tag teams which could step up to the plate and eventually challenge The Show for the Raw Tag Team Titles later this year.

#3 Glorious Gable

The tag team of Chad Gable and Bobby Roode is definitely a very odd pairing, however, there is no doubt in the fact that the two men are by far two of the most promising talents' competing on the red brand.

Currently stuck in a mid-card feud (or lower mid-card, to say the least) against The Ascension, the WWE management isn't really doing much with both Gable and Roode, therefore, it'll only be fair for the creative team to eventually build-up the Glorious Gable duo and have them challenge for the Raw Tag Team Titles at some point in the near future.

I mean, a break up between Gable and Roode is almost inevitable and is certainly bound to happen sooner rather than later, so why not just provide them with a proper build and have them challenge for the Raw Tag Titles before the two men eventually go their separate ways.

#2 A newly reunited American Alpha

Now, speaking of Chad Gable, the former NXT Tag Team Champion has had an outstanding start to his WWE career and starting from his early days in NXT as part of The American Alpha, he and his former tag team partner Jason Jordan have definitely had their moments.

Having held the NXT and SmackDown Live Tag Team Titles, both Jordan and Gable, at one point, were at the top of their game in the WWE Tag Team Division. However, all of that momentum eventually came to an abrupt ending when Jordan was revealed as Kurt Angle's "son" on Monday Night Raw and bid farewell to American Alpha.

However, with Bobby Roode possibly turning his back on Chad Gable at some point down the line, WWE needs to make sure that one way or another Gable doesn't get wasted on the singles division and quickly gets back with his former American Alpha partner Jason Jordan, given the fact that the former Raw Tag Team Champion finally makes his much-awaited return from his gruesome neck injury.

A clash between The American Alpha and The Show over The Raw Tag Team Titles is going to be absolutely outstanding, as we have already witnessed in the past that both Gable and Jordan are more than capable of delivering on the big stage when it comes to tag team matches.

#1 Authors of Pain

Time for AOP to dominate once again

It is no surprise that the current Raw Tag Team Division has once again stale and has lost all of its depth since the retirement of Matt Hardy (leading to the breakup of former champions The Woken Warriors), The Club and The Bar getting drafted over to SmackDown Live, and with Sami Zayn out injured, Kevin Owens isn't really in a mood of tagging with someone else.

That being said, former NXT Tag Team Champions The Authors of Pain also weren't really doing much, up until their new manager Drake Maverick decided to make things a lot more interesting. With Maverick providing the mouthpiece for both Akam and Rezar, it is once again time for The Authors of Pain to reopen their Book of Dominance and eventually set their sights on the Raw Tag Team Championships.

AOP and The Show are more than capable of putting together some absolutely outstanding tag team matches against each other and could very well steal the show at some big WWE pay-per-view as well.

Personally, I wouldn't even mind seeing McIntyre and Ziggler eventually drop their Tag Titles to The AOP, as it would close out to an absolutely dominant reign for both men as tag champs and will also prove to be beneficiary for Akam and Rezar as well.
