5 directions for RK-Bro following WWE Day 1

WWE Day 1 was undoubtedly an intriguing pay-per-view with RK-Bro adding a lot of sheen to the event by retaining their RAW Tag Team Championship.

Randy Orton and Riddle overcame The Street Profits, who were the #1 contenders having won the RK-Bronament finals on the latest edition of RAW. In a pleasant surprise before the bout began, Migos accompanied RK-Bro to the ring and joined the announcement team.

Both teams began the bout with much purpose, with neither giving an inch to the opposition. In one of the high points of the contest, The Viper nailed Ford and Dawkins with double draping DDT from the ring ropes.

Montez and Angelo put on a spirited performance but were defeated in the end. The Original Bro and the Apex Predator hit the Flying RKO double-team finish on Montez for the win. It was indeed refreshing to see both the babyfaced teams embrace each other in a show of respect after the bout as they celebrated with Migos in the ring.

With RK-Bro having conquered yet another team in The Street Profits to retain their RAW Tag Team Championship, the latter will most certainly go back in line for a title opportunity. Having said this, there will be a host of new challenges that will await the dominant champions on the first edition of RAW in 2022.

In this article, we look at five directions for RK-Bro following their win at WWE Day 1:

#5 The Alpha Academy could stake their claim for a title opportunity against RK-Bro

The feud between The Alpha Academy and RK-Bro is far from over.

Having been beaten by Riddle and Randy Orton in singles matches on the last edition of RAW, Chad Gable and Otis are desperate for revenge. What could be better than challenging the champions for their titles to settle the score?

A future match between these teams for the RAW Tag Team Championship will undoubtedly be on the cards. The contest will be one for the ages, pitting power and athleticism from both teams.

#4 The Mysterios could put their hat in for an opportunity at RK-Bro's championship

A RAW Tag Team Championship match between The Mysterios and RK-Bro will unquestionably be an epic affair.

Rey and Dominik Mysterio, despite coming second best to The Street Profits in the RK-Bronament finals, would like to ascend to championship glory if an opportunity arises. Randy Orton and Riddle can certainly give them a chance in the future.

The experience of Rey and Orton matched with the high-flying ability of Dominik and Riddle will make this match a must-watch for fans.

#3 The Dirty Dawgs could yet again challenge the Champions

Despite coming up short on two previous occasions to become RAW Tag Team Champions, The Dirty Dawgs are still a force to be reckoned with.

Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode have a wealth of experience and showcase high class in-ring ability whenever they step into the squared circle. Having lost twice in 2021 to RK-Bro for the championship, The Dirty Dawgs can hope for a new beginning in 2022.

The new year could bring renewed belief for them to dethrone the reigning champions and soar to their second reign as RAW Tag Team Champions if the opportunity arises.

#2 RK-Bro could promote an open challenge for the RAW Tag Team Championship

RK-Bro are undoubtedly the leaders of the RAW Tag Team Division.

Randy Orton and Riddle have successfully conquered a host of teams, the likes of AJ Styles & Omos, The Dirty Dawgs, The Hurt Business (Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin) and most recently The Street Profits to reign supreme as RAW Tag Team Champions.

With that being said, the duo could look to promote an open challenge for the RAW Tag Team Championship where worthy contenders can stake their claim. This will undoubtedly cement Orton and Riddle's legacy as fighting champions in the new year.

#1 Seth "Freakin" Rollins and Kevin Owens can pursue the gold as a team

The unlikely duo of Seth "Freakin" Rollins and Kevin Owens have more than shown their willingness to work as a team to achieve a common goal.

We saw that on the December 20 episode of RAW when they locked horns against Bobby Lashley and Big E as well as at the recently concluded Day 1 pay-per-view. At WWE Day 1 in the Fatal 5-Way Match for the WWE Championship, Rollins and Owens worked in unison to destroy all three other participants in Bobby Lashley, Big E and Brock Lesnar.

Having not been able to achieve gold in this match with Lesnar becoming the new WWE Champion, The Visionary and KO can certainly look to set their sights on another title, the RAW Tag Team Championship.

If the contest between Rollins & Owens and RK-Bro for the RAW Tag Team Championship sees the light of day, it will truly be a spectacle. RK-Bro will undoubtedly have their hands full in this one as the fans will be served a treat.
