Whether The B-Team can match up to “Woken” Matt Hardy & Bray Wyatt in the ring remains to be seen, but there’s no doubt they see themselves on the same level as the Raw Tag Team Champions in all facets of the game.
Before the bell rang on Hardy & Wyatt’s bout with Heath Slater & Rhyno, Bo Dallas & Curtis Axel appeared on the TitanTron in Deleters cosplay to do their best impression of the Raw Tag Team Champions’ mind-bending messages from beyond. It was a valiant effort, but the champions didn’t exactly suffer a taste of their own medicine: The Deleters dispatched Slater & Rhyno with a Kiss of Deletion to The One Man Band in a display of their continued dominance and perhaps delivered a message to their challengers that a Party City beard and Sweeney Todd wig do not Woken Warriors make.

As The B-Team continue their long-shot quest to challenge for the Raw Tag Team Titles, the champions themselves held firm in a battle against The Ascension. Despite the larger Konnor using his size against “Woken” Matt Hardy, Bray Wyatt turned the tide against Viktor, and after Konnor was dispatched with a Twist of Fate, the champions sealed the win with a Kiss of Deletion.
The B-Team were watching, as it turns out, but despite a pair of victories, Raw General Manager Kurt Angle was hesitant to allow them to jump the line and challenge The Deleters of Worlds. That said, Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel quickly concocted a plan to win the approval of Raw’s remaining tandems: A Memorial Day Barbeque. Unfortunately, while the division was more than happy to feast on B-Team brats, they weren’t sold on allowing Dallas & Axel to challenge for the titles. But the ensuing food fight did give Angle an idea about how to settle the debate: A Tag Team Battle Royal next week, where the winners would face Hardy & Wyatt for the titles.

Anything The B-Team can do, the Raw Tag Team Champions can do better. Despite Bo Dallas & Curtis Axel’s enthusiasm after a win over Breezango, “Woken” Matt Hardy & Bray Wyatt showed they’re still the team to beat with a near-flawless victory over The Revival.
As always, Dash & Dawson kept things competitive with their technical proficiency (The Woken One declared Dash Wilder’s athleticism “flabbergasting”) and briefly isolated Hardy from his partner. But the champs outlasted them all the same, dispatching Scott Dawson with the double Sister Abigail, now known as the Kiss of Deletion.
It was a telling display of dominance by the champions, but even more telling was that The B-Team were spotted taking notes backstage during the champions’ match. Their status as contenders may be joke fodder for Kurt Angle, but Dallas & Axel have defied the odds before. If opportunity knocks, they may yet have the last laugh.
