The June 18 edition of WWE Raw followed up a successful Money In The Bank pay-per-view with a night filled with twists and turns that helped reshape the landscape of Monday nights.
The post-Money In The Bank edition of WWE Raw saw a shocking title change as well as an update on the future of the Universal Championship picture. Extreme Rules is nearly a month away, but the red brand has begun to focus on the event in some capacity already.
Last night’s show saw several important developments in other key angles as well. With that being said, let’s take a look at five key takeaways from the June 18 edition of WWE Raw.
5. The B-Team Keeps Getting Better
Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel have had a solid 2018 and it started with the two operating as lackeys for The Miz, dubbed The Miztourage. But since The Miz was sent to SmackDown during the superstar shakeup, many felt Dallas and Axel would go back to irrelevancy.
However, the two have made the most out of their opportunity to go on their own and thus, The B-Team was born. Dallas and Axel got a couple wins and eventually got an even bigger win to earn a Raw Tag Team Championship opportunity against Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt, but last night was all about imitation being the sincerest form of flattery.
Hardy and Wyatt took on Heath Slater and Rhyno, but just before the match started, Dallas and Axel were seen backstage dressed just like Hardy and Wyatt. Axel sounded and looked just like Hardy while Dallas sounded and looked just like Wyatt, his real-life brother. It was truly funny to see and The B-Team’s comedic relief has been stellar as of late.
There’s no sure-fire date as to when The B-Team will face The Deleters Of Worlds for the tag team titles, but the duo will have plenty of momentum heading into it. Perhaps it could come at Extreme Rules next month, but in the meantime, Dallas and Axel probably have more comedy up their collective sleeve.
The B-Team is the comedic and refreshing tag team that Monday nights need and that was apparent last night.
