Both WWE Raw and Smackdown tag team divisions are lacking big-time attractions and it feels right for the creative team to keep only one set of champions, moving forward. After weeks of rumors and recent teases, it seems WWE has finally taken the call to unify both RAW Tag Team Titles and the SmackDown Tag Team Titles.
As it was noted, this past episode of Friday Night Smackdown which was the post-WrestleMania 38 edition, saw Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns cut a promo on how he wanted SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos to capture WWE Raw tag team titles. He then ordered them to go to RAW and take the titles from the current Champions – Randy Orton and Riddle, so that they can unify them.

Over on WWE Raw, Team RK-Bro defeated Alpha Academy in a non-title match. Following the bout, the winners were confronted by The Usos. After the two tag teams exchanged words, The Usos challenged Orton and Riddle to a title unification match for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Titles.

Orton wanted to respond to The Usos when The Street Profits interrupted and let them knew that they should be the next in line for a title shot to WWE Raw tag team championships. This led to the non-title main event of the night where The Usos defeated Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins.
After the match, The Usos and RK-Bro had another face-off with The Usos. Ford and Dawkins tried to run in with a sneak attack but their attempt got backfired. The Usos then dropped Orton with a dual superkick and raised both sets of title belts over him to send WWE Raw off the air.
WWE has not officially announced the title unification match but they did announce they did note that The Usos vs. The Profits was held to determine who Team RK-Bro will face, next over WWE Raw Tag Team Championships. The Usos getting the win over The Profits has also brought them one step closer to Reigns’ will of unifying the tag team gold.
There’s no update on when this match will take place but Wrestlemania Backlash could be the PPV event where this title unification match for WWE Raw and Smackdown tag team titles may go down.
