WWE Hell In A Cell 2019: early match card predictions

Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler (c) vs. Viking Raiders vs. The O.C. [Raw Tag Team Championships]

Remember that ‘too sweet’ time when AJ Styles, Gallows and Anderson were all champions on Monday Night Raw? That was a good time in WWE, but it was ruined a month ago when an illegitimate tag team, Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman, dethroned The O.C. to become the new Raw Tag Team Champions.

To facilitate even further damage to the WWE tag team division, another illegitimate tag team, Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler, defeated seven legitimate tag teams to become number one contenders for the Raw Tag Team Championships and later dethrone Rollins and Strowman at Clash of Champions.

To make matters even worse, Braun Strowman, who is no longer in a tag team with Rollins decided to crash a Tag Team Championship Summit last week on Raw. Unless Strowman is bringing back Nicholas or SNL’s Colin Jost to be his tag team partner, this was an unnecessary instance that spurs no storylines for either of the tag team championships going forward.

With The O.C. and Viking Raiders battling week by week, they will most likely and hopefully be involved in the Raw Tag Team Championship picture since they are legitimate tag teams. A legitimate tag team should hold onto the Tag Team Championships, so Roode and Ziggler should not retain.

Since the Viking Raiders have been associated with the supposedly buried Cedric Alexander lately, they will most likely not win the championships yet and remain strong in this bout without getting pinned. Considering that Gallows and Anderson were robbed of a lengthy championship reign, they should win this match to continue their momentum as well as their momma jokes with Styles as the top faction on the flagship show of Monday Night Raw.

Prediction: The O.C.
