Good to see you again. This week on Monday Night Raw, Dolph Ziggler and Bobby Roode won a Tag Team Turmoil match to become the new #1 contenders for the Raw Tag Team Titles. Their title shot will come at Clash Of Champions against new champions Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman, who won the titles in their first match as a team. It is clear that WWE is paying attention to tag teams, which makes another development more understandable.
According to Wrestlinginc.com, Heath Slater and Titus O’Neil wrestled in a match during this week’s Main Event tapings, defeating Eric Young and Mojo Rawley before Monday Night Raw went on the air. Slater and O’Neil teamed together as Slater Gator from late 2014 until early 2015 with little success. There is no reason to believe that this is anything more than a one off match instead of a full time reunion.
They were kind of legendary. Check out one of their rather amusing promos, complete with a mascot:
Opinion: I doubt this is going to lead anywhere but it is certainly amusing for a one off reunion. The two of them have some comedic chemistry together and it’s not like they’re doing anything else. Throwing them out there as jobbers to the stars is better than anything else they’re doing so why not? It’s not going to happen more than likely, so it’s a case of leaving the memories alone.
