Raw Tag Team Championship Match
Seth Rollins & Jason Jordan (c) vs. Cesaro & Sheamus
Bryan Heaton: The big story in play is the rift between Jordan and Rollins. Even though they’re the champs, they can’t coexist. My money is on an eventual feud between the two, perhaps as soon as now. Cesaro and Sheamus can then move on to face another hot babyface team – surprisingly, that’s Gallows and Anderson of the Balor Club. So I’m taking Cesaro and Sheamus at the Rumble.
Christopher Jeter: Jordan’s heel turn is coming. WWE planted the seeds of dissent last Monday on RAW, when Rollins accidentally kneed Jordan in the face. I’ll pick Cesaro and Sheamus to regain the tag straps and probably face Titus O’Neil and Apollo Crews at Elimination Chamber. Rollins and Jordan are likely headed for a collision at WrestleMania.
Jack Clayton: If the rumors are true, then Seth Rollins will be going against Jason Jordan come WrestleMania. So something will need to split them apart, i.e losing the tag team titles. By doing this, it not only allows Cesaro and Sheamus to remain dominant on Raw, but also begin a well told story for Rollins and Jordan. What should happen is Jordan, trying to prove he’s one of the greats, tries to win the match on his own, which eventually makes Rollins lose, costing them the titles. If Jordan then turns heel, and then tries to prove he’s better than Rollins, it begins a hopeful road to WrestleMania.
Joe Soriano: What do I even say about this match? It’s going to be very good, but I just have a hard time getting invested in this one, let alone predicting a winner. But I’m going with Rollins and Jordan, because I think they drop the titles and feud later.
Josiah MacDonald: I’m not sure if it’s time to pull the switch here yet, but with how they have been hinting that Jordan and Rollins can’t work together, it seems Cesaro and Sheamus will be walking out as champions.
Warren Hayes: I have a crazy, coo-coo scenario in my head where Seth Rollins and Jason Jordan break up and fight each other at WrestleMania and it will be an awesome match. Now for that to happen, Seth and JJ need to hang onto the straps a little longer, get closer to WrestleMania, so I do not think they will be losing at Royal Rumble. I believe Rollins and Jordan retain and Cesaro and Sheamus get officially bumped out of the title picture.
