The Raw Tag Team Titles will be on the line of this year’s Summerslam when the Champs Sheamus-Cesaro face off against ex-shield brethren Rollins-Ambrose . This is one of the best in depth programs done in quite some time . History is a huge factor , back in November 2012 . The Shield made its debut , and for the next 2 plus years were filled with memorable 3 on 1 attacks and 4 star matches . The Shield was sophisticated faction in industry that tends to book to the lowest common dominanter . They weren’t your traditional but effective , coming through the crowd on their entrance to differentiate themselves from the norm . Six-man tag matches were obsolete until The Shield made them much see matches . All good things had to come to an end , shortly after defeating Evolution in a program ; Rollins turned on his brothers and ended a memorable run . The follow up wasn’t half bad either , Rollins-Ambrose had countless of matches for the next 2 years , until Rollins turned back Babyface . The last month the two have been trying going back and forth to get on the same page with minimal success , but because of their history being told in such a believable manner the fans have eaten this up.
The Tag Champs not nearly as much history; but there is some. Nearly one year ago Cesaro-Sheamus were opponents in a best of 7 series. Most people hated the idea and had no idea why WWE was subjecting the fans to that. Maybe WWE was planning ahead, after the 7th and final match ended as a no contest; WWE made them a tag team. As expected it started off as the two as adversaries, however as time went along the predictable friendship followed. The noteworthy moment for the 2 was the heel turn couple months back on the Hardys. Since then it’s been your traditional heel tag team bully character, which are perfect foils for Ambrose-Rollins.
My prediction is that this should be a really good match most likely ending with the Shield members becoming Champs again . I do get this odd feeling that’s this could lead to Ambrose turning on Rollins to bring the entire story full circle . It may not happen and honestly I’m not sure it’s best way to go ; after WWE has done such an effective job making fans want to see them back together . Enjoy
