Randy Orton and John Cena, Tag Team Champions?

Besides the Usos and the Hart Dynasty the tag titles, in recent memory have not been of any importance to anyone unless it was held by main eventers such as JeriShow and DX.
Wrong. The tag titles are found to be quite important by many, many people right now. The Hart Dynasty and The Uso's are REAL tag teams, with a REAL reason to be together. The Hart boys are over with the fans, and the Uso's are getting some good heat. The WWE seems as though they are ready to bring their tag division back from the dead, and pairing to mega-stars, who do not belong together in the first place, to win the belts is an awful idea. I pray to Christ the days of random, mega-star tag teams are over..but probably not.
Yes I want the top two babyfaces to leave the main event scene for a LITTLE WHILE so we're not seeing the same feuds over and over again and we can allow some new people in the title hunt which I feel is much needed.
Randy Orton hasn't held the title at all this year. Cena is the top draw in the company. These two guys are ONLY about winning World titles. Why would they (kayfabe) willingly tag up to go after the tag belts? It makes no sense. They drop down a few levels to go after titles they do not need?
Outside of Orton and Cena, there isn't a single babyface on Raw who would carry the show. Not one. They have plenty of heels, but those two are the top two faces in the company, and are needed in singles competition.
I said they're different, not that they have things in common, which is also why I think they would make an interesting pair. Opposites attract.
I never stated that you said they have anything in common. I was pointing out, all on my own, that they do not.
Opposites attract? That's your master plan for why these two should join forces. The reason this idea bother me so much is...well, because it sucks. They do not belong together. They have NO reason to be a tag team. I'm not even sure they could come up with a storyline to justify them tagging for more than one or two matches.
Sure Randy was a heel and Cena was a face prior to WM 24 but I do believe they were in a match teaming up with each other, without actually beating each other up. They pulled out some pretty good tag team efforts.
Who cares, it was one match. It was only interesting because they were about to square off at Mania.
The difference is, these past common enemy tag teams usually comprised of a heel and a face teaming up, I'm just talking about two main eventers teaming up.
No, not really. Why would a heel and a face have a common enemy? It's usually two babyfaces who team up to battle a common enemy (Hogan/Savage, Hogan/Warrior, anything WCW vs. anything nWo, Austin/Undertaker).
And yes, I know you are talking about two main eventers tagging up, and I think the idea is horrible. Hell, I would be happier IF you had said you only wanted them tagging up for a short while to take out some common enemy before they had another big one-on-one match. But you want to take it even further.
Two wrestlers the caliber of Cena/Orton, at the height of their career(s), are not meant to tag up for the long haul, nothing over a few weeks would even be interesting. Winning the tag belts does nothing for either man, nothing at all.
Nothing to do with a common goal, or a common enemy, in fact they are both babyface so maybe it could be the start of something for the future I dunno. Looking back, everyone in the past usually had a long lasting rival that they teamed with, fought against, etc etc. But the new generation of superstars over the past, I dunno, 5-6 years, have lacked that. All I am suggesting is to shake things up a little, why not "weaken" some people for a bit and lower them on the card. They will still be relevant and grab everyones attention, while at the same time leave more room for more impact to be made by new people. I don't want Randy and Cena to form the new DX or anything of that sort, all I said was have them team up for a bit.
Why not weaken Orton and Cena??? I don't know, maybe because they are two of the biggest draws in the company?? This is such a horrible idea, on so many levels.
