I mentioned this in the thread talking about Big E Langston possibly becoming the next Intercontinental Champion...
Let's say that does happen, and the Punk/Heyman Alliance feud ends at Hell in a Cell (save for possibly a future rematch between Punk and Lesnar).
Would putting Ryback and Curtis Axel in the tag team division work to give another (credible) heel team besides The Shield and The Real Americans?

Rybaxel could make a good team, my only problem is that you'd be having someone like Heyman managing a tag team when he should be doing something important (when Brock is not around). |

Could it work? Sure.
Will I be interested in it? Nope.

Paul is going to dump Axel for his latest big, beautiful man: Mason Ryan.

The tag division is the best place for Axel, not sure it's best for Ryback, it's definitely not the best use of Heyman.

Well that would certainly depend on your definition of work.

After managing guys like Lesnar and Punk, there's nowhere to go but down really. And I think Axel and Ryback would benefit from Heyman more than an NXT heel or Ambrose post-Sheild or something. |

I think Axel could work as a tag team guy (again) - he reminds me a lot of early 90s Arn Anderson, a reliable midcard workhorse who's good in either singles or tag situations. (Also, thinning hair.)
With Ryback, though ... not really feeling it. They've made his character more entertaining, but he's still a clumsy ox in the ring. If he ends up in a tag team role, I'm thinking it should be as one half of a Road Warriors style power duo where he does quick squashes most of the time.

It feels like this is the direction they're going in, with how much they're making Ryback look like an ineffectual loser.
And how depressing is it to imagine the guy who was the company's most over babyface this time last year is now going to be teaming up with and trying to put over Mike McGillicutty?

I actually kind of like the idea of them as a tag team. I love the idea of Mark Henry and Big E more as The World's Strongest Tag Team, though.

The tag division is the best place for Axel, not sure it's best for Ryback, it's definitely not the best use of Heyman. With the roster being as top heavy as it is, there's nothing wrong with some people taking a step back. Even with two World Titles, everybody can't be in the "main event" at once. So it's best for Ryback to utilize what notoriety he has to make the midcard and tag divisions look like a bigger deal. And by that i mean actually interacting with the other teams, not just dicking around aimlessly in purgatory for the sake of half heartedly maintaining a false sense of credibility I think due to Heyman's success with Lesnar, many of us will think that Heyman absolutely has to be in the top storylines, but with the Authority angle in full force, that's just not going to happen . |

I've seen enough of Axel at this point to say that anything that succeeds involving him will succeed in spite of him, not because of him.
In other words, Heyman could manage a Ryback/x wrestler team and it'd be okay.

I feel worse that a perfectly serviceable, though admittedly bland, talent in Axel is getting stuck with a dead weight like Ryback. |

I know it will never happen but, I would love a Brock/Ryback monster tag team.

Besides, it's not like he can't pull double duty. In fact, I wish they'd make him into the new Heenan. Commentator, and a manager of multiple guys. |

I honestly think that when we look back on Ryback, he's gonna be up there with Monty Brown in the Dropped the Ball edition of "What Were They Thinking?" But hey, as long as you have people who were over ten and fifteen years ago, who needs new stars? That Big Show fella is really going places. |
