5 Opponents for Miz & Morrison's SmackDown Tag Team Championships after WrestleMania 36

#2 Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro

Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro have been playing sidekicks to Sami Zayn for quite some time now and after helping out Zayn in winning the WWE Intercontinental Championship, I'm pretty sure both Nakamura and Cesaro would love to have some gold around their waists, as well.

There is certainly no doubt in the fact that Nakamura and Cesaro are better off as singles wrestlers but as it turns out, WWE currently has no plans for them in the singles division and by the looks of it, both Nakamura and Cesaro are likely to play second-fiddle to Zayn.

So, why not use the two as a proper tag team and have them step up to the plate and challenge for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships? With Nakamura and Cesaro possibly winning the tag titles, Zayn could fulfill his prophecy of creating a group full of champions.
