Roode and Ziggler

This week on RAW, we saw the formation of an alliance we thought we'd never see in the WWE. Once bitter enemies, Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler showed up on this week's RAW as a tag team, which was not seen coming by anyone.

It's been quite an unpredictable year for Dolph Ziggler. Although The Showoff isn't getting a very big push from WWE, he has been involved in pretty relevant storylines over the past couple of months.

Ziggler faced Kofi Kingston twice for the WWE Championship this year, first at WWE Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia, and then at the Stomping Grounds pay-per-view which took place a few weeks after the event in Saudi Arabia.

WWE also enhanced Ziggler's "Legend Killer" gimmick this year by putting him in segments with legendary wrestlers like Shawn Michaels and Goldberg. He even went on to face the latter at SummerSlam this year.

On the other hand, Robert Roode was going in no direction before joining forces with The Showoff. He teamed up with Chad Gable over the past year and won the RAW Tag Team titles, but that did not last long. The Glorious One once again had nothing to do when Gable moved to SmackDown during the Superstar Shakeup.

However, he once again ended up in the Tag Team division, but this time he will have Ziggler by his side. Just after their first match together, Roode and Ziggler already have a big opportunity ahead of them at the Clash Of Champions pay-per-view, where they will face Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman for the RAW Tag Team titles.
