The WWE landscape is in turmoil, and the tag team division on Raw is in absolute disarray. It’s a mess that demands attention, and we’re here to break it down in our weekly stock report. Unlike traditional power rankings, we dive deep into who’s rising and who’s falling in the ever-shifting world of WWE. This week was packed with action, from Elimination Chamber qualifiers to Cody Rhodes’s eyebrow-raising promo and Finn Bálor’s questionable claims about his wrestling stardom. Let’s dissect the chaos and see who’s climbing the ladder and who’s slipping through the cracks.
But here’s where it gets controversial... Is WWE’s handling of its tag team division on Raw worse under Triple H than it was during Vince McMahon’s era? Let’s start with the stocks on the decline.
Stock Down #3: Royce Keys
After a standout Royal Rumble debut where Royce Keys dominated stars like Damian Priest, Cody Rhodes, and a certain YouTube personality, his absence from both Raw and SmackDown this week raises red flags. Is this a minor oversight, or does it signal WWE’s lack of a clear plan for the former AEW powerhouse? And this is the part most people miss... Could NXT still be in his future instead of the main roster? Only time will tell.
Stock Down #2: Giulia
Despite holding the women’s United States Championship, Giulia seems to be playing second fiddle to her mouthpiece, Kiana James. Kiana secured the pin to earn their tag team title shot, outshone Giulia in the Royal Rumble, and even took center stage during their loss to RHIYO on SmackDown. Here’s a thought-provoking question: Should Kiana focus on her own singles career instead of propping up Giulia? It’s a debate worth having.
Stock Down #1: War Raiders
Remember when the War Raiders were world tag team champions heading into WrestleMania 41? Fast forward to this week’s Raw, where they were effortlessly dismantled by Oba Femi. This isn’t just a bad night—it’s a symptom of Raw’s pathetic tag team division. With jobbers like Otis and Akira Tozawa as top contenders, The New Day winless since August, The Creeds barely getting screen time, and former champions AJ Styles & Dragon Lee feeling like an afterthought, it’s clear something’s broken. Is Triple H’s booking really worse than Vince’s? Weigh in below.
Now, let’s shift gears to the stars on the rise.
Stock Up #3: LA Knight
LA Knight’s return to Raw was nothing short of explosive. His chaotic attacks on The Vision, complete with steel chairs and BFTs, reignited his babyface momentum. The fans are eating it up, and it looks like he’s poised for a major feud with Raw’s top heel faction on the road to WrestleMania 42. But here’s the real question: Can he sustain this momentum?
Stock Up #2: Oba Femi
Unlike Royce Keys, WWE has been all-in on Oba Femi since his Royal Rumble debut. Pushed as the next big thing, his entrance is electric, and his dominance over lower-card stars like Kit Wilson is undeniable. Here’s a bold prediction: A WrestleMania match against Brock Lesnar isn’t just plausible—it’s inevitable. What do you think?
Stock Up #1: CM Punk & Roman Reigns
CM Punk and Roman Reigns closed Raw with a promo battle so intense it stole the show. Their WrestleMania 42 main event feels like the biggest match WWE could deliver in 2026, overshadowing everything else on the card. But here’s the controversial take: Is this match truly bigger than anything Drew McIntyre or Cody Rhodes are building? Let’s hear your thoughts in the comments.
There you have it, Cagesiders. Whose stock do you think shifted the most this week? And more importantly, what’s your take on Raw’s tag team division—is Triple H dropping the ball? Sound off below!
