WWE RAW has an interesting show lined up for fans this week

#4 R-K-Bro emerge as new challengers for the WWE RAW Tag Team Champions

Randy Orton and AJ Styles can boost Riddle and Omos' careers respectively

Last week on WWE RAW, Randy Orton and Riddle teamed up with Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods to take on AJ Styles, Omos, Elias, and Jaxson Ryker in an eight-man tag team match. The brief altercations between the RAW Tag Team Champions and R-K-Bro accounted for the night's biggest highlights. It is possible that both these teams will soon engage in a title feud.

Styles and Omos defeated Kingston and Woods for the WWE RAW Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania. Following that, they went missing from the television for almost a month. The creative can now make their title reign even more exciting by booking them in a title feud with R-K-Bro. Both teams will deliver a memorable storyline that could be mutually beneficial.

Riddle and Orton have been fantastic as a team on WWE RAW. Their contrasting personalities make for an entertaining watch, and it can lay the groundwork for several long-term storylines. The tag team division of WWE RAW has been in a rut lately, and this feud can single-handedly change the monotonous dynamic surrounding the titles on the Red brand.
