#3. The RAW Tag Team Championship will be on the line

Last week on RAW, a non-title match took place between Tag Team Champions RK-Bro and Alpha Academy. Following RK-Bro's win and title defense over The Street Profits at Day 1, they resumed their feud with the Alpha Academy.

On an individual level, Randy Orton has defeated both and even did what many thought he couldn't do - hit the RKO on Otis. Either way, The Alpha Academy's spirits haven't been down, and last week, they picked up a rare win over the reigning tag team champions.

This automatically means that they have earned a title shot, and the Tag Team titles will be on the line tonight as RK-Bro face Alpha Academy again.

RK-Bro will undoubtedly be favorites to retain the titles, as they have enjoyed one of the more successful tag team title reigns in recent years. They're over four months into their reign now, and we're yet to see any dissent between the duo.

That could begin tonight, or we could see a teaser of it before the Royal Rumble. Assuming both Riddle and Orton are in the Rumble, then we may get another glimpse of tension between the two.

Will Alpha Academy pull off the upset and become the new Tag Team Champions?
