Former World Champions Form New Tag Team On WWE Raw?

By Sai Mohan

AJ Styles and Dolph Ziggler were brought together on WWE TV by their mutual disdain for Theory, but could they be a permanent team going forward?

On the 7/25 "WWE Raw" episode, Ziggler & Styles teamed up for the first time ever in a win against Alpha Academy. During the course of the match, they implemented a lot of tandem offense, a sign that WWE could be serious about a Styles-Ziggler union.

Another sign of them possibly a team going forward is that they walked side-by-side up the ramp rather than as individuals. As seen below, they would also perform an in-sync pose before WWE went to a commercial.

Earlier on the show, Ziggler explained in a backstage interview his decision to target Theory over the past few weeks.

"I just think he needs to be taught a lesson," Ziggler said. "I've seen thousands of them come and go, everything he's accomplished this quickly, I think it's too early for him. Don't get me wrong, he's a great athlete, and almost as handsome as I am."

Styles then walked in and told Ziggler, "I can appreciate what you're doing."

This was followed by the Alpha Academy issuing a challenge to Ziggler & Styles for a match.

The seeds for the potential new team were planted last week on "WWE Raw" when Ziggler showed up ringside during a Theory vs. Styles match, super kicking Theory on the outside to help The Phenomenal One pick up the win via count out.

Fans on social media have been buzzing about a potential Ziggler & Styles team. Both future WWE Hall of Famers have held several versions of the WWE Tag Team Titles over the years.
