Awesome Truth defend World Tag Team Titles against #DIY

Tonight, “Re-Generation X” explodes!

Newly crowned World Tag Team Champions Awesome Truth will defend their titles for the first time against Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa.

#DIY became No. 1 Contenders this past week, as they took down The New Day and The Creed Brothers in a Triple Threat Tag Team Match.

The two teams have been friendly with each other, dubbing themselves “Re-Generation X” after R-Truth kept confusing Gargano and Ciampa with Shawn Michaels and Triple H, respectively.

Can Awesome Truth retain their newly won titles, or will #DIY spoil their party? Don’t miss Raw, tonight at 8/7 C on USA!

Charlotte posting a photo of the women's title and hashtaging RAW.

She really could do the funniest thing and come back and win a title instantly like she always does.

Liv or Nia winning

The money is in Rhea's Revenge tour, so put the belt on Liv. When Rhea comes back she is granted a title match because she never lost the championship. Everyone thinks Rhea will just steamroll Liv and win the belt, but that's the night that Dom turns on Rhea and the Liv/Dom relationship is revealed.

Liv took everything from Rhea that she loved, like she said she was going to do, and is now a hated heel with Dom by her side. Rhea now has to work her way back to a championship match.

And then Rhea gets with me instead?

[J-MANN: Tag Team Champion]

Big fight feel.

[Rocky Balboa]

Kinda... Weird for them to stand and announce this in the ring, is it not?

[Rocky Balboa]

The good thing about Jey Uso starting off RAW is that he is getting closer to the pre-show where he belongs.

No yeet.

I really hope Priest isn’t holding the title for long.

[J-MANN: Tag Team Champion]

I ain’t into it.

Common Jey Uso segment thoughts

[J-MANN: Tag Team Champion]

I think DIY wins tonight.

[Rocky Balboa]

King Booker and Regal are so clear in terms of making the King of the Ring gimmick actually work

[punksnotdead]

I’d like to see them throw it all out the window tonight and go with Chelsea Green. Good chance for her to morph her character into something even more obnoxious, and she can carry all the promo segments better than just about any woman on the roster imo.

[CM Tusk]

I can’t watch DIY lose their third tag title match this year.

Yeah, but... Maxxine Dupri has to finish the story. Throwing out Candice to become champ.

[Rocky Balboa]

Legit thought that was it. Good kickout by Truth.
