I don't disagree
Sami and KO have been joined at the hip since they came in together, this is a pretty logical summit at this stage of their story together, except for the fact that I think fans would have been even happier if Sami dethroned Roman. Still it's not like they just randomly put two of the top babyfaces together to get the belts off longtime champs. Hopefully they won't hold it for eons.
Enjoyed this, but is Tiffany Stratton ok?
I hear you, but that makes no difference to me:
In the first place, out of all of the possible candidates to dethrone Roman, my personal choice wouldn't have been Cody or Sami, it would have been Jey. And, in the second place, it doesn't really matter to me how long Kevin and Sami have been joined at the hip. The only worthwhile payoff to two singles wrestlers teaming together is for those two wrestlers to feud against each other, and we just got done watching that.
Fair enough. I agree with you 99% of the time.
In this case, along any "family" or two members of a stable, they get implied team status when they aren't in a feud. It's my sole exception to manufactured tag teams because they make 100% sense in kayfabe.
You can't keep a guy in mothballs for 364 days, and then expect him to be smooth and polished on Day 365.

Trivia time: The Fabulous Moolah is one of three women to have won both the NWA Women's World Championship and the WWF Women's Championship. Without looking it up, can anyone name the other two?
Is Madusa Miceli/Alundra Blayze one of them?
The hardest part of this to me is not knowing how often both of these titles have been active vs. inactive/retired.
I think the other might be Melina.

"Oh Shane still got it!"
I exploded with laughter at the timing of it all... Should I feel bad about it?
I did not look up so curious which one did she not have, Billy Corgan's NWA seemed to go dark for a while but it looked like she was going to win it but I think Thunder Rosa got it first.
also wtf. WWE.
Hint: The most recent one wrestled for WWE during the Ruthless Aggression era.
