Why the B-Team winning the Raw Tag Team Titles at Extreme Rules is a good thing

With Extreme Rules out of the way, the B-Team have emerged as the new tag team champions. While this decision might seem arbitrary and impulsive at first look, it is actually a good and calculated move on WWE's part.

Today, we will be looking at 3 main reasons why the B-team's win at Extreme Rules was a good call and how it might affect the general narrative of the tag team division.

#3 The Deleters of Worlds were going stale

What next?

Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt were an unpredictable and entertaining matchup but since becoming the tag team champions their run had become sort of stale. There is only so much maniacal laughter and philosophical babbling one can hear if it has no purpose.

After winning the tag team champions and taking over the tag team division by storm, their rants and promos had become repetitive and without any real purpose. The start of their feud with the B-team gave them legitimate competition and losing their titles, The Destroyers of Worlds now have a cause to target their crazy at.

#2 The B-Team would have faded

The win at Extreme Rules gives the B-Team new life

If they lost to The Deleters of Worlds at Extreme Rules, the B-team would have faded into anonymity rather quickly as a fluke team up. The whole momentum of the B-team was that they were a ragtag duo of misfits who were never supposed to win but did against all odds.

If their winning streak had broken and they failed to win the big one, their legitimacy as genuine contenders would have been destroyed and they would've been sidetracked to a comedic act once more till they completely fizzled out. Winning the titles gives new life to this team up and has ensured that the B-Team could be around for a few more months at least if they are booked right.

#1 Paves way for new teams

More teams such as Authors of Pain might get a coveted shot at the titles due to recent developments

With the B-team as the tag team champions, other teams might very well smell blood in the water and come running to get a piece of the action. On the surface, the B-Team are an easy target and tag teams, old and new, would be lining up for a supposedly easy shot at the titles. This could lead to some new and interesting storylines that would not have happened while WWE were trying to maintain the dominance of Matt and Bray.

The red brand's tag team division has been somewhat lacklustre for a while and the emergence of The B-Team as the new champions has made tag team wrestling more relevant on the red brand.
