So yeah, we have new Tag Champs.
Stunned the WWE actually built on their recent on screen momentum with a title shot.
Shocked they won it.
Gobsmacked they won CLEAN. And fair. Otis straight up pinned Randy f'n Orton clean as a whistle.
But yeah, delighted for Gable and Otis who have been killing it as a team lately. And obviously, its nearly Rumble time, so it's the old school "time to put the belts on folk who can wrestle on the undercard to free up Rumble space" trope, but yeah, cool stuff.

I'm really surprised, but really happy they're getting a run with the belts, I've been a big fan for a while. I love the red, black and gold gear they wore tonight too, hope they stick with that for a while.

I'm kind of mixed on it in that I've never really cared about either of them but it's better than Riddle.

Riddle's about to go on the "oops I eliminated my tag partner from the Royal Rumble" downward career trajectory imo, especially when it happens in Randy's home town. Of all of Ortons Mania opponents, I think only Rollins has gone on to bigger things after, most of them went down the card. I've always liked Gable but he's not really the type WWE push so have to take the scraps off the table with that one... |

Otis and Gable getting it is nice. WWE has bungled things with tag teams so many times that I don't really have a lot of faith in this, but it's a positive call and both guys deserve it.

World Strongest Slam is Orton’s weakness.

It was an interesting decision and I'm not even mad about it, just pleasantly surprised. I still miss face Otis, though.

I'm still just sad that Otis doesn't have an entire bone-in ham in one hand and Mandy in the other

Third partner that Gable has won tag gold with (Jordan, Roode, Otis). Although it’s not an all-time record by any stretch, it puts him equal with Cesaro in this stat.

Prior to last week, they had not won a tag match together since March. I just wish they had some forward thinking with their pushes.

My only concern is we've already seen Alpha Academy vs. Street Profits and the Mysterios what feels like a million times on both Raw and SD over the last year. They need to call a couple tag teams up, or at least MSK.
