Champions vs. champions tag match set for next week’s WWE Raw

The Raw and SmackDown Tag Team Champions are set to face off next week.

WWE announced tonight that Raw Tag Team Champions The Street Profits will face off with SmackDown Tag Team Champions Cesaro & Shinsuke Nakamura in a champions vs. champions match on Raw next Monday. The match will presumably be non-title.

Cesaro & Nakamura made a cross-brand appearance on Raw tonight to set up next week’s match. After The Street Profits defeated Andrade & Angel Garza, they were confronted by Cesaro & Nakamura. Cesaro & Nakamura said that when people think of The Street Profits they think of their basketball and golf competitions with The Viking Raiders, playing with ninjas, and not defending their titles. Cesaro said they were there to show The Street Profits what real champions look like.

Cesaro then challenged The Street Profits to a champions vs. champions match next week and The Street Profits accepted. Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford said that — unlike Cesaro & Nakamura — The Street Profits have a real bond. They insulted Cesaro for how many tag team partners he’s had.

It was said that Cesaro & Nakamura being able to face The Street Profits on Raw was because of the brand-to-brand invitational.

Next Monday’s Raw will also feature Asuka defending her Raw Women’s Championship against Mickie James.
