3 Tag Teams Who Should Challenge Daniel Bryan & Rowan Following Stomping Grounds

In the latest WWE NEWS, the 'Planet's Tag Team Champions,' Daniel Bryan and Rowan were able to successfully defend their WWE SmackDown Live Tag Team Titles in a very impressive match against Heavy Machinery.

Bryan and Rowan showed their incredible abilities as they not only put on an excellent bout but also really helped establish Tucker and Otis in their first major PPV outing as a main roster tag team.

However, with the victory, the two men remain the SmackDown Live Tag Team Champions and therefore are in the need for some new challengers. Whether it is a brand new team on the show an experienced duo or a totally new partnership, something new will be on the horizon for the champions.

Having promised to provide a 'tag team revolution' it is time for WWE to invest in the division and its champions by giving them a dedicated storyline with plenty of screen time.

Even though Heavy Machinery put on a strong showing at Stomping Grounds and could have another shot at the titles, the WWE Universe has already been complaining about unnecessary rematches and therefore moving onto something fresh could help stop that.

There was nothing controversial about the victory that Bryan and Rowan secured, and it would be fitting of Bryan's current character to simply refuse to face Heavy Machinery after beating them already.

This could give WWE a chance to bring in a new tag team to compete against the champions in order to keep things fresh, whilst Heavy Machinery can work a non-title feud and possibly be brought back into the loop for a major SummerSlam title match. But who should step up and challenge them next?

#3 AOP

Can anyone stop them?

AOP has been off television for a while due to a leg injury to Akam, but the dominant duo are both back in action, having been used in several backstage segments recently.

So knowing that one of the best tag teams on the roster is fit and healthy, perhaps it is time to have the former NXT and Raw Tag Team Champions make their presence felt once again?

AOP has all the potential in the world and has shown on multiple occasions they can put on world-class matches with any team when given the chance. Getting to work with two experienced names such as Bryan and Rowan could only possibly enhance their abilities.

With WWE not having a top monster team like AOP, it would certainly be a positive thing to bring these behemoths back to chase the champions.

#2 Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson

It could be Too Sweet

In the past week, WWE has seemingly made an actual effort to push Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows, seemingly remembering that both men are actually under contract with the company.

With WWE teasing the idea that they could be reuniting The Club with AJ Styles on Raw, WWE has the chance to bring them back to television on a weekly basis as a team that you can actually take seriously.

Whilst they are Monday Night Raw Superstars, with the wildcard rule, there is no reason they can't challenge for the SmackDown Tag Team Titles, just as The Usos have done previously.

If the company was really smart, they could have the Good Brothers link up to help AJ on Raw, and then help another former teammate, Finn Balor on SmackDown, creating a strong faction that appears on both shows each week.

With competition against AEW strong and tag team wrestling being one of AEW's big marketing strengths, it would be wise of Vince McMahon to make the most of every tag team talent under contract. Especially two men who have reportedly previously wanted their release and happen to be good friends with the Young Bucks.

#1 New Day

Could The New Day hold all the gold in WWE?

Even though we have seen The New Day in the title picture many times before the entire group feels so fresh right now from Kofi Kingston's WWE Championship reign that putting them in a feud with the champions would be welcomed by fans.

Big E and Xavier Woods have spent the last few months really focusing on helping Kofi achieve his dream, and whilst they have been a key part of his story both men are too talented to just be stood at ringside.

Giving Woods and E a purpose again would be a huge benefit to the tag team division and considering they pinned the champions on Raw this week, it would certainly make sense to put them in a title feud.

The idea of potentially having all of The New Day holding gold in WWE could also open the door to some fun storylines with another faction, such as Undisputed Era, coming in to try and take over down the line.

Considering how much The New Day has done for tag team wrestling, and how popular they are, putting them back in the title scene would really help get some eyes on the division.
