Talented Tag Teams

I really enjoyed The New Day, Enzo and Cass and The Vaudevillians on Raw. We had interaction for the first time with these three teams and really enjoyed the back and forth. It was quick and to the point. It also made Enzo and Cass vs. The Vaudevillians very important at Payback on Sunday. Do we think that The New Day as chasers over champions could be a thing? If Enzo and Cass win, The New Day could be in trouble in terms of popularity. If The Vaudevillians win, think of the complete clash of personalities. I loved when they said 1999 and The Vaudevillians wished it was 1899. All of these teams are unique and could be champions. Time will tell if they are really invested in these teams. Let’s just hope the two “rookie” teams do not fall into The Ascension category of WWE.

Natalya Gears Up

A quick match with Natalya picking up a win to head into WWE Payback against Charlotte. Like I mentioned time and time again, I hate that Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks seemed to take a big step back by not continuing to chase Charlotte. It was such a great contest at WrestleMania and I am so curious as to why they went this route.
