5 reasons why the Authors of Pain attacked Kevin Owens again on RAW

#2 To stay away from the RAW Tag Team Championship scene

The current RAW Tag Team Champions are busy squashing their way to a long title reign

One of the major dilemmas on RAW has been its Tag Team division and the Tag Team Championships. At the moment, RAW has one of the best Tag Team Champions in the form of The Viking Raiders, but the duo seems to be attracted to local competitors more than formidable tag teams.

In recent months, we have watched the duo squash many local tag teams who haven’t been able to put up any resistance. Keeping that in mind, there is no doubt that AOP is the biggest threat to The Viking Raiders, and matches between them on the main roster will be a treat to watch.

Even though we can’t wait for the two teams to lock horns, it’s better if RAW waits a while and doesn’t rush into this rivalry. To keep them engaged and build them as bigger heels while letting The Viking Raiders continue their reign, it makes sense that the company is allowing them to go after Kevin Owens.

Owens also needs much more sympathy from the crowd and a lot more backing as he seems to be transforming into the face of RAW while Rollins is drifting further away from it.

Allowing AOP to indulge in a feud with KO will help WWE protect a rivalry between Viking Raiders and AOP until Royal Rumble while building both AOP and KO in the process.
