WWE managed to lock up two tag teams that are at different points of their respective careers. A few days after Kofi Kingston revealed that he had signed a five-year extension with the company, Ryan Satin revealed that both Xavier Woods and Big E had also re-signed new five-year deals.

Satin also mentioned that they "all negotiated the same pay to show solidarity" since Kingston had gone on a great singles run as WWE Champion earlier this year. While Woods is currently injured, Kingston has stepped in his place alongside Big E in the SmackDown Tag Team Division. Both men could also have concurrent singles runs, if things fall into place.

While SmackDown locked up its top tag team, RAW locked up one of its newer teams, The Street Profits, to "multi-year" deals. Satin did not elaborate any more on the specifics as to the new deals.

Both Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins joined Monday nights only earlier this summer, so the jury is out as to how far they can go on RAW. With AOP and The Viking Raiders to contend with, those three teams could battle for the RAW Tag Team Titles over the next few years.
