WWE News: Huge title change on Raw tonight just a fortnight ahead of the biggest pay per view of the Summer- SummerSlam.
The WWE is headed towards the biggest party of the summer. Storylines are being carefully placed for one of their big 4 pay per views; SummerSlam. However, with the arrival of new Executive director Paul Heyman, old storylines are being replaced by new ones as he plans to overhaul the WWE.

This was on display tonight as a huge title change took place on Raw tonight. Long forgotten, the Raw tag team championship was taken off Zac Ryder and Curt Hawkins and placed on the shoulders of The Revival. It seemed that the Revival vs The Usos storyline would culminate at SummerSlam with the Samoan twins getting the better of the The Revival. However, that wasn’t to be as another team played spoilsport.

Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, two-thirds of the OC faced The Revival and The Usos in a triple threat match for the tag-team championships. The former Bullet club members hit Jimmy Uso with the magic killer to win their second Raw tag team championship.
Only 16 Superstars in @WWE history have won #TagTeamTitles in both a standard 2-on-2 match AND a #TripleThreat Match. The newest members of the list are the new #RAW Tag Team Champions, @KarlAndersonWWE and @LukeGallowsWWE, #TheOC.

With this win, all three members of the OC now have a title. Hopefully their reign will be better than their lacklustre first reign; where they were fed to Roman Reigns in a handicap match.

But where do the Usos and Revival go from here?
It is most likely that the three will engage in a rematch at SummerSlam. With the OC having just regrouped, it is important that they look strong. What better than giving all of them the gold. However, it would have been better if only the WWE hadn’t done the exact same thing with the New Day at Extreme Rules, two weeks earlier.
