Why WWE changed Raw’s Usos vs. Vision tag match
Key Points:
- WWE initially announced the Raw match between World Tag Team champions The Usos and The Vision’s Logan Paul and Austin Theory as a title bout but later changed it to a non-title match, causing confusion among fans.
- General Manager Adam Pearce confirmed the match was non-title in a video, and WWE.com updated the listing, though the change appeared rushed and inconsistent, as promotional emails still referred to it as a championship match.
- The decision to make the match non-title reportedly stemmed from WWE wanting The Usos to retain their championships for their appearance at the San Francisco Giants/New York Yankees MLB Opening Day event on March 25, part of Netflix’s Major League Baseball partnership.
- On Raw, The Usos won via disqualification after Jey used brass knuckles, meaning they would have remained champions regardless, aligning with WWE’s plan for their MLB event appearance.
- The Usos are set to represent the Bay Area at the MLB Opening Day festivities on Netflix, highlighting WWE’s collaboration with the streaming service and Major League Baseball.
