5 Tag Teams That Should Form In 2019
In 2019, there will be many opportunities for new tag teams to be formed in WWE.
The Tag Team divisions on both Raw & Smackdown are currently stacked right now, but there are multiple teams that don't have a lot of credibility.
We've seen teams like The Ascension that should've been built up more stronger, but instead, they've been on the losing side in matches against the more established tag teams.
We've even had teams like Epico & Primo that have simply been forgotten about. The fact of the matter is, tag teams aren't being used properly due to the fact that creative doesn't seem to have a direction to take these teams in.
So here are 5 potential long-lasting tag teams that should be put together in 2019.
#5 Akira Tozawa & Kassius Ohno
We have yet to see Kassius Ohno on the main roster, as he has been in NXT for a long period of time. The best way to introduce Ohno to Raw or Smackdown would be by bringing him for a new tag team. This is because Ohno is a tag team specialist- as we've seen before with Cesaro back in their ROH days, when they were competing as Chris Hero & Claudio Castagnoli.
On the other hand, Akira Tozawa has been regularly competing on 205 Live in the Cruiserweight division. We've seen Tozawa briefly with Titus Worldwide as he has appeared on Raw as well, but nothing really came out of it. He has also previously held the Cruiserweight Championship, but the title reign wasn't anything special.
Pairing Tozawa & Ohno up would be an interesting choice because they could potentially play the roles of a student and mentor. Tozawa could possibly learn so much from Ohno, in terms of developing his English and evolving his character.
The fans have shown that they do indeed like Tozawa, as he always receives pops from the fans whilst he is wrestling. He also has an "AH" chant that the fans scream with him, when it's used efficiently. Ohno has shown that he can play the role of a face or heel on NXT, feuding with the likes of Velveteen Dream & Matt Riddle.
This team could also feature more of a long-term plan, and if the WWE did ever want to split them up- they could easily go down the road of Ohno turning on his student in Tozawa. This would allow for the two men to have a personal feud, with the student defeating his mentor- and Tozawa being put over. But in order for that to happen, they would have to win some tag team gold in order to increase their credibility.
