Triple H took over WWE’s creative direction when Vince McMahon stepped down. Despite McMahon’s return to WWE as Chairman of the Board of Directors, Triple H’s creative vision is still being implemented.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted that Triple H made a big call about the tag team title situation. He decided that the belts should not be considered the same title, like Roman Reigns’ status as Undisputed Universal Champion. The tag team titles are separate, so The Usos can drop either set by themselves.
“The idea right now on the tag team front is that there are two sets of belts.
“The Usos are champions but the Raw and Smackdown belts are different.
“This is a new Paul Levesque move and it does allow the Usos to lose one set of belts and keep the other.
“It was explained to me that the hope is it makes fans think it’s more likely somebody beats them for one set of belts.”
WON
The Usos were never supposed to hold both titles for this long. RK-Bro’s exit after Randy Orton’s injury gave WWE no real choice but to place both sets of titles on the Bloodline’s resident twins.
