Disputing this is replaceable

could be adequately covered with text alone

The synergy of this tag team cannot be conveyed with text alone, their compatibility requires conveying their aesthetic bond through imagery.

freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information

I think the only way to establish this possibility would be for the disputer to present (perhaps upload a new image in its place for the page) such media. I have not encountered any free media which conveys this team as well as WWE.com's image does. An image which they freely present to the public on their web site.

Alternatives

Other images which could be suitable under this file name, from the same photo gallery as this one, are this image, or a cropped version of this or this or this.

The reason I chose the one I uploaded over these 4 alternatives is because they feature Cody or Damien more prominently than the other in the ring. The one I chose features them pretty much equally as they came out. Ranze (talk) 23:18, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have responded to the above points at User_talk:Ranze#Replaceable_fair_use_File:RhodesScholarsDecember10.jpg. As the person who originally nominated the image for deletion as replacable fair-use, I would like to state that I stand by that nomination. The image demonstrably fails point 1 of WP:NFC#UUI.
