Dave Meltzer discussed on Wrestling Observer Radio the possibility that the tag and main titles are going to be unified. He was asked, “was it the tag titles or was it the main titles where it kept being insisted that they were not gonna be unified, they were not gonna be unified, they were not gonna be unified…and then they were unified.” To which Dave confirmed that, “the tag titles were not going to be unified.”
Dave Meltzer went on to explain that the belts were unified because Randy Orton’s career was on the verge of ending. He stated that Riddle and Orton were simply going to remain as Raw champions. However, because Orton was not present, they chose The Usos to hold both belts.
Riddle and Orton were just gonna stay at as the Raw champions, but there was gonna be no more Orton, he pretty much finished up after losing that title. So without Riddle and Orton RK-BRO who are hot team…they just went with The Usos to hold both belts.
