#3 Best/Worst: No AoP in the RAW tag team title hunt?

So, it was Seth Rollins and Buddy Murphy who cut in line ahead of The AoP to take on The Viking Raiders. As I've said earlier in this article, Rollins and Murphy came out on top and they are now the reigning and defending RAW tag team champions.

My main question is where this leaves The AOP, especially if you consider that unlike Seth Rollins and Buddy Murphy, the two of them cannot technically wrestle as singles competitors until they are broken up. Should it have been Akam and Rezar vying for the RAW Tag Team Championships and not Seth Rollins and Buddy Murphy then?

But maybe, a rift in the unit has been planned and the idea is to take on The AOP down the line, with Akam and Rezar possibly becoming babyfaces, turning on Seth Rollins for putting his interests ahead of those of the faction. If this is the route, I am most definitely sold.

I am also sold on Liv Morgan's ring gear.

The ONLY good thing about that main event was Liv Morgan’s ring gear being a nice callback to Scott Hall and the Outsider days. pic.twitter.com/cselKujp4t
