5 Things WWE subtly told us on RAW: "Disgraced" top star set for babyface turn, New favorite to win the Men's Royal Rumble revealed?

#3. The road to WrestleMania begins for RK-Bro on RAW

RK-Bro are no longer the RAW Tag Team Champions. It came as a big shock, even though RK-Bro were only a little over four months into their Tag Team title reigns. The Alpha Academy are the new champions.

But given the way RK-Bro was presented, they seemed to be nearly unbeatable. They even defeated The Usos at Survivor Series, something that came as a shock in itself. But ultimately, Otis and Chad Gable had been training way too hard, and it looks like the neck workouts have paid off.

What was more surprising was the fact that Randy Orton took the pinfall from Otis, rather than Riddle. It was a good move by WWE to protect a potential future top star. Since the year has only begun and RK-Bro have been dethroned, it means that the road to WrestleMania may begin prematurely for the now-former tag team champions.

Riddle vs Randy Orton always seemed to be the direction for WrestleMania, and when WWE puts together an oddball-duo for a year-long storyline, there is likely only one target destination in mind.

Expect to see dissent slowly build within RK-Bro before an inevitable heel turn sets up a WrestleMania match. Riddle and Orton could also eliminate one or the other at the Men's Royal Rumble match.
