I think they're fucking awesome together lol. It's a random ass pairing but their encounters recently have been hilarious. Obviously not now since Owens has the IC title but maybe during Road to WM32? I think they can play a disgruntled tag team that is forced to team with each for whatever reason. They argue a lot but at the end of the day they get shit done. And when they actually get along they're badass and coordinated. And before you say one or the other is too big for the tag division, they aren't. They'll be lucky if they get on the WM card next year with all the part timers. Plus, the tag division is probably the strongest division ATM. They could feud with New Day and the Dudleys. And they can be in literally every single Raw main event since it's almost always 6 man tags. When there not feuding with tag teams they can fuck with the main eventers like Cena, Orton, Reigns, and Bryan like the New Day. Maybe have them be the Authority's henchman? Not permanently cuz fuck the Authority but maybe every once in a while like at Survivor Series or some shit. Or better yet, make em tweeners! I think that will be their best placement, but more so heels. These guys are also ring generals so they can put out some great matches. Fuck, if only Cesaro and Kidd were still in a tag team.
I think it depends if Owens is willing to work with Rusev, but I doubt it with the times Kevin has walked from tag matches depending on how he saw the outcome.
No thanks. Rusev's career is spiraling downwards into jobber territory quickly enough, last thing he needs is Owens walking out on him every week so Rusev can get pinned every single week. With how they're booked it'd just be a situation where HHH sacrifices Rusev to protect one of his pets.
Rusev already looks foolish with Owens walking out on him two or three times by now. He would be even more of an idiot to DESIRE to become a tag team with him. I guess if it were like 2002 Angle/Benoit it would be okay, but I don't want to see it now.
Rusev and Owens are perfectly suited singles wrestlers and I just don't see them fitting into the tag division at all right now. I prefer them as opponents with a face Rusev in the near future but if they teamed up later on maybe that would keep the tag division interesting.
Two future World Heavyweight Champions. Keep them apart.
Owens should continue with his Intercontinental Championship run and Rusev should more on to the United States Championship. Have Rusev turn the US title into the European title and then feud with the likes of Cesaro and Finn Balor.
If anything, Rusev should take the title off of Owens, not tag team with him and take the pin everytime because Owens walks out. They have lowered him enough.
