• Possible Reason Behind WWE Teaming Up Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode

As seen on last night’s episode of RAW, the new tag team of Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode won a tag team turmoil match to become the #1 contenders for the RAW Tag Team Titles.

They will now face Universal Champion Seth Rollins & Braun Strowman for the RAW Tag Team Titles at WWE Clash Of Champions 2019 PPV.

According to the Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, the team of Ziggler & Roode was chosen to win this match over a team like Heavy Machinery because Ziggler & Roode would easily work around Braun Strowman in their match at Clash Of Champions:

“I don’t think they want to do a match with Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman against Heavy Machinery. I don’t think that’s a good match for a pay-per-view. You could do the Revival, but the one thing with Roode and Ziggler you’ve got there is you could put them in there with Strowman and you know, they’ll know how to work around him and things like that.

It’s not going to be anything you have to worry about. Whatever it is, they came up with a team, the team was good, so that’s cool. I think it’s a good thing that they came up with a good team. So many times they’ve come up with bad teams.”
