WWE Day 1 Flops and Hits: Brock Lesnar wins title, The Bloodline make up for Roman Reigns’ absence (1st January, 2022)

Another Tag Team match at WWE Day 1 saw RK-Bro put their RAW Tag Team Championships on the line against The Street Profits.

Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford fought against some of the strongest duos to win their shot at the tag team titles. They gave their all inside the ring, but Randy Orton and Riddle eventually managed to retrain their gold.

RK-Bro has been one of the best things in the company ever since its formation. They single-handedly made the tag team division entertaining on the red brand and are deservedly over with the crowd.

While Riddle and Orton’s chemistry is commendable, their in-ring work deserves equal credit. The Viper's flying RKO that helped him seal the victory was brilliantly assisted by his tag team partner. They also deserve credit for making their opponents look incredibly strong throughout the bout.

This loss should prompt The Street Profits to turn heel on RAW moving forward. They can make for good villains on the show with just the right booking.

On the other hand, RK-Bro will likely turn their attention towards a title feud with The Alpha Academy. But beyond that, could we see them engage in a feud with Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins?
