Tag Team title rematch set for WWE Raw season premiere episode
The Raw Tag Team titles will be on the line on this Monday’s “season premiere” edition of the show.
WWE has announced that Raw Tag Team Champions RK-Bro (Randy Orton & Riddle) will defend their titles against AJ Styles & Omos on Monday’s Raw. Orton & Riddle won the titles from Styles & Omos at SummerSlam this August and retained against them in a rematch at Crown Jewel on Thursday.
Riddle pinned Styles to win the Raw Tag Team title match at Crown Jewel. As Styles was going for the Phenomenal Forearm, Orton hit him with an RKO. Orton then tagged in Riddle so that Riddle could hit the Floating Bro on Styles to get the win.
On Raw this past Monday, RK-Bro’s non-title match against The Street Profits ended in a disqualification when Styles & Omos interfered and laid out both teams.
Monday’s Raw is taking place at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. It will be the first Raw episode where the show’s post-draft rosters are in effect. RK-Bro and Styles & Omos both stayed on Raw in the WWE Draft.
