Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins (c) vs. Viking Raiders vs. Revival vs. Usos [Raw Tag Team Championships: Fatal 4 Way]🔴
Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins, who won the Raw Tag Team Championships from The Revival at WrestleMania 35, are most likely retaining their titles at MITB, but their potential opponents are quite daunting to say the least. They have been keeping a close eye on the Viking Raiders, who impressively pinned them two weeks ago on Raw and decimated the Lucha House Party last week on Raw. Meanwhile, the Usos and the Revival have been at a war of words in deciphering who is truly the best tag team on the WWE roster today; they have also been in a comedic skit with Usos videotaping Dash Wilder shaving Scott Dawson’s back.
The plan seems to be Ryder and Hawkins defending their tag titles solely against Viking Raiders. However, since tag teams are usually not in a MITB ladder match, it would be criminal to exclude Usos and Revival from a match on the card. Also, there’s no way Ryder and Hawkins can cleanly defeat the Viking Raiders on PPV two-on-two, especially since Viking Raiders are rising NXT stars who should be decimating everyone in their path to look dominant on the main roster.
Thus, a fatal 4 way would help lengthen Ryder and Hawkin’s tag title reign since they can pin the heel Revival, a top-notch team that does not need to look as strong as the heel Viking Raiders and babyface Usos who just became Raw superstars from the Superstar Shakeup. By pinning The Revival, Ryder and Hawkins would leave a reason for Viking Raiders to get a rematch for the titles in the near future, when Viking Raiders can potentially dethrone them.
Prediction: Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins🔴
