The champs are here. I’m not even sure what there is left to say about the upcoming week in wrestling. There are so many things going on with the next few shows that it is almost hard to fathom everything going on. Monday Night Raw is no exception and even though the show will be one of the weakest, WWE is still going out of its way to make the show into a big one.
As announced on WWE’s official Twitter, Raw Tag Team Champions Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler will defend their titles against Heavy Machinery on next week’s season premiere of Monday Night Raw. This will be the third title match announced for the show, after Seth Rollins defending the Universal Title against Rey Mysterio and United States Champion AJ Styles defending against Cedric Alexander have already been announced.

The new champs have something. Check out how they won the titles:
Opinion: This might not be the biggest match in the world but would a title change really stun you here? Ziggler and Roode have never felt like long term champions and having them lose so early would not be the most shocking thing in the world. If they drop the titles so soon, it could go a long way towards making Heavy Machinery into some fun champions, though WWE keeping Roode and Ziggler as champions for a long time would not shock me either.
Do you think there will be a title change? Should there be? Let us know in the comments below.
