Every year at some point they put together two wrestlers who are going to battle each other for the belt, as a tag team to have them wrestle for the tag belts.
And usually, they win much to both wrestler's shock. That leaves them having to defend the tag belts and wondering if they can trust their partner.
So it was no shock to see them do it once again this past Monday on Raw. This time Miz and Cena won the tag belts after defeating Gabriel and Slater who had just won them the night before at the ppv. Cena seemed happy, Miz seemed smug.
Wade Barrett of the Corre then slapped down the old faithful rematch clause and we were all treated to another twelve minutes of what was actually a really interesting match.
Then, instead of sticking to the usual game plan WWE has with this foes for partner storyplot where they would be tag champs for the next month or so until Wrestlemaina, the Miz screwed Cena out of the belts.
Well, even I was sitting there watching the show yesterday (it was the replay as I never get to see anything when it originally airs) wondering what they did that for?
Was it just to shake up the same old same old, or does WWE have something else in store down the road?
I understand that they are really making a point to have the Miz be the most hated champ. {I also happened to notice they really made it a point earlier in the show to drive home the idea that Alberto Del Rio is a Heel even though he's really getting a lot of fan backing as of late. And for one reason, Del Rio is one of the best wrestlers going.} And this move would cement that. Was this just a chance to add a bit of spotlight to the still on-the-respirator-tag division? Or is there something even more diabolical up the sleeves of creative?
Having the belts on Gabriel and Slater in the end... only one step above where they were the night before.
Having Cena and Miz hold the belts for a few weeks... would have been an interesting way to roll into Wrestlemaina.
