5 Reasons why Aleister Black and Ricochet are getting a shot at all the tag-team championships
On this week's episode of SmackDown Live, WrestleMania 35 host Alexa Bliss confirmed that The Usos will be defending their SmackDown Live Tag Team Championships in a fatal four-way match involving The Bar, Rusev & Nakamura, and the team of Aleister Black and Ricochet.
The addition of the SmackDown Live Tag Team Title match is the 15th match officially confirmed for WrestleMania 35, as all four teams now have the opportunity to steal the show in a potential tag team thriller in New Jersey.
However, one team which is likely to enter the match with all the momentum in the world is none other than the recently called up NXT duo of Aleister Black and Ricochet. The duo has been on fire in recent weeks and in the build-up to WrestleMania 35, the former NXT Champion and North American Champion have had a shot at almost every single tag team championship belt.
Prior to tonight's SmackDown show, Black and Ricochet received a shot at the Raw Tag Team Championships and had the chance to win their first tag team title on the main roster but eventually failed to do so, as they were beaten by champions The Revival.
Despite a loss to Dash and Dawson, the duo of Black and Ricochet will now turn their focus on the NXT Tag Team Championships, as they are set to challenge The War Raiders at NXT TakeOver: New York and will have the opportunity to call themselves Double Champion if they win the SmackDown Tag Team Titles the very next night.
With this being said, several fans have been wondering why Black and Ricochet have had the privilege of getting a shot at every single tag-team championship on the Road To WrestleMania 35. And in this article, I'll take a look at 5 possible reasons why the dynamic NXT duo has had a shot at three different WWE Tag Team Championships.
#5. WWE could be planning to build the tag team division around Black and Ricochet
Aleister Black and Ricochet are two of the finest singles competitors in the world and there is absolutely no doubt regarding that. However, the current WWE roster is stacked with some of the finest singles stars as well, therefore, WWE could be possibly considering building their tag team division around Black and Ricochet.
I mean, in all honesty, the two men are tremendous singles competitors but having them as a tag team is definitely going to raise the bar in the tag team division. Both Black and Ricochet have tremendous chemistry inside the ring with each other and could very well find themselves as champions on the main roster within 5 days time.
