I don’t know whether it’s just the WWE is just that predictable, or that I really am the self-proclaimed Oracle™ of professional wresting, but I just kind of knew that the B-Team was going to win the tag team champions at Extreme Rules. Very likely just the former, even if the whole point of the B-Team was that it was supposed to be two jobbers who just keep lucking into wins.
The reality is that the union between Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt seems to already be getting old, and I figure that Creative has better ideas for the each of them as singular performers instead of this tag team that was more or less a hold pattern for two individual stars. Or seeing as how Jeff Hardy jobbed the United States championship away in a gratifying squash match, maybe the Hardy’s latest run has already come to an end, and it’s time to start saying goodbye to them again, until they make yet another surprise comeback in 2019.
Who knows, who cares?
Either way, the fanboy in me is happy to see the B-Team win, because who doesn’t appreciate it when two guys who have been jobbing to the stars for the better part of the last two years finally get a little bit of recognition and reward for their dutiful work? The funny thing is that in spite of the lovable losers that Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas portray, the two of them are guys with tons of potential and talent that is more or less kind of expiring unused on the road. I mean one is the son of Mr. Perfect, the other the son of Mike Rotundo, so they’ve definitely got wrestling in their genes.
Regardless, it’s pretty clear what the B-Team’s role in winning the championships are, and it would be meta funny if Creative decided to actually change their name to “The Transitional Champions,” but then throw a huge swerve and have them have a monumentally long reign to spite their predicted tenure.
Unfortunately, that’s probably not going to be what happens. Hopefully they’ll drop the titles to an actual tag team, like Sanity or even The New Day, but the reality is that they’ll probably drop them to a mish-mashed team of individuals in order to further the main event picture, or worse, to two guys who hate each other, like a team of Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashley, because WWE Creative are geniuses.
Whatever though, let the record stand that the B-Team ascended to the top of the mountain, and as long as they hold the belts, the B most certainly stands for Best-Team. BOlieve that
