The WWE RAW tag team division has struggled to maintain consistent attention over the past two years, despite including several former champions. Titleholders have appeared on RAW but rarely defended their belts in a timely or impactful manner. To reignite interest, four tag teams are positioned to inject fresh energy and stability into the faltering division.
Fraxiom’s Potential Impact After Moving to RAW
Following a dominant run in NXT’s tag team division, the duo known as Fraxiom—consisting of Nathan Frazer and Axiom—transitioned to SmackDown post-WrestleMania. Widely regarded as one of NXT’s greatest tag teams, their smaller size is offset by remarkably exciting performances. However, their talents have been overshadowed by SmackDown’s crowded roster. A move to RAW could provide the WWE RAW tag team division with the dynamic spark it desperately needs, while also creating more balanced competition between brands.
The Street Profits’ Need for a New Direction
Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins of The Street Profits have frequently shifted between WWE brands, meaning another move to RAW might not initially appear to alter the landscape. Nevertheless, a brand change might benefit all parties by shaking up familiar dynamics. The Street Profits have a notable history with teams like The New Day and The Usos. Although they have not held tag team gold in nearly four years, the duo remained visible across the brands. Since they lost the WWE Tag Team titles to the Wyatt Sicks, the suggestion is that new contenders deserve the opportunity to carry the division forward, while The Street Profits could reinvent themselves and play a key role in revitalizing RAW’s tag competition.
The Usos’ Reunion and Its Promise for RAW
Jimmy Uso’s move to RAW to join his brother Jey Uso has initiated a renewed rivalry against Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker of The Vision. This feud is expected to continue intensifying following Jimmy’s dismissal of LA Knight’s threat. The winning side of this intense conflict may earn a much-anticipated title shot against the reigning champions, The Judgment Day. Fans are particularly drawn to moments when The Usos reunite, partly due to their Bloodline association. Although relying on past glories has limitations, this storyline injects a compelling narrative, energizing a portion of WWE’s audience.
Reuniting the Lucha Brothers Could Transform RAW
The Lucha Brothers, Rey Fenix and Penta, entered WWE separately due to the timing of their AEW contract expirations, which prevented a simultaneous debut. Penta arrived on RAW while Fenix went to SmackDown, and Fenix’s recent sporadic bookings failed to reflect his evident talent, especially demonstrated during his US title match against Sami Zayn. Since Jimmy Uso’s brand switch aimed to reunite sibling dynamics, a similar move for Fenix to join Penta on RAW could restore the tag team’s chemistry. Their storied success across multiple promotions suggests that this reunion would offer a much-needed boost to an otherwise struggling WWE RAW tag team division.
In summary, these four teams — Fraxiom, The Street Profits, The Usos, and The Lucha Brothers — each bring distinct qualities capable of reshaping RAW’s tag team scene. Their involvement offers opportunities for fresh rivalries, renewed fan interest, and stronger competition among the titleholders, potentially reversing the decline seen in the division over the past two years. The coming months should reveal how these shifts influence the championship’s prominence and the broader WWE landscape.
