Pairings in today’s WWE (Ideas)

Something I feel today’s current product is missing are tag team and factions that make sense. Instead, we just get two people thrown together and put them over actual tag teams. Another thing missing, is the lack of real valets and managers. There’s so much talent that struggle with their in-ring work, but could be used in other ways on the roster.

Here are just a few ideas I have to give more of these talents some sort of real direction within the company.

Ariya Daivari & Mustafa Ali
Airya Daivari & Jinder Mahal

Pairing him with a newly heel Mustafa Ali after WrestleMania would be a fresh team, if they’re doing tag teams on 205 Live. If not, maybe joining Jinder Mahal and the Singh brothers could give him some sort of direction.

Bray Wyatt & The Bludgeon Brothers

What a truly think Bray is missing is his faction. Bludgeon Brothers are getting no reaction with their new characters and I believe it’s time that this experiment comes to an end. Get Wyatt back with the Family. Personally, I’d add 1-2 “non-monster” talents to the Wyatt Family. To give it a fresher, newer feel. The only question is who? Maybe Bo Dallas could be one of them.

Buddy Murphy & Alexa Bliss

Are the Cruiserweights still a part of the RAW roster? If so, re-align Alexa Bliss with her man. Heel cocky Buddy Murphy is great and while Bliss could be his valet, she can also wrestle as well. Both aiming to dominate their respective divisions. If not, having Bliss appear on 205 Live could also help Murphy.

Chad Gable & Jason Jordan

Either bring Jason Jordan back to SmackDown Live, or move Gable to RAW and get these two back together ASAP. I would even have Angle lose his position as General Manager and become the mentor/manager for American Alpha. Neither have been interesting at all since being split. Pairing him with Shelton hasn’t helped at all either. Chad Gable makes a horrible heel.

Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder

Either move Hawkins to SmackDown Live, or get Ryder on RAW and re-form these two. Either as a serious tag team, or both a New York broskis.

Dana Brooke & Dolph Ziggler

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again. Get this girl as a heater for Dolph Ziggler. Wrestling needs more managers/valets, especially roles for the ones not as talented in-ring as others. Giving Ziggler a Chyna-like valet would help bring back his “pretty boy” character he once had.

Goldust & Mandy Rose

Separate Absolution shortly after WrestleMania. Have Mandy Rose become the valet for Goldust, who can occasionally wrestle. This would lead to Goldust getting a decent push, possibly an Intercontinental Championship run if it gets over enough.

Heath Slater & Curtis Axel

Rhyno and Slater have run their course, time to split them. I’d have Slater take Bo Dallas’ spot in the Miztourage, or in a tag team in general with Curtis Axel.

The Usos & Roman Reigns

Let’s just do this already. If Roman isn’t aligning with Heyman at WrestleMaia (I doubt he will), put The Usos on RAW and begin a heel faction with Roman Reigns. I honestly believe Jimmy and Jey have the ability to help get Roman over as a hated heel, rather than a despised babyface. I’d also add Naomi to this faction.

Rusev & Lana

“Lana is da best... Lana #1!” Need a really say more about getting Rusev back everything they took away from him? The man could’ve/could/will/will be a monster foreign heel in the main event scene. Lana is a far better mouthpiece for him than Aiden English, who was just a random pairing in the first place.

Seth Rollins & The Good Brothers

As much as I think babyface Rollins still has loads of potential left, I believe a shocking turn from Gallows and Anderson on Finn would be great. Having Seth be the man behind the betrayal would be a surefire heat magnet.

Sin Cara & Kalisto

Move this man to 205 Live and pair him up with Kalisto. Boom! Another tag team, if that’s the plan they’re attempting on that show.

————————————————————

Mind you, I don’t claim for these to all be great ideas or the best ideas. Just something to freshen up some lesser used talents.

Thoughts? Other ideas? I’d love to hear them and see this topic really become something to discuss in a CIVIL manner.
