No Mercy – Can Heath Feed the Kids?

Heath Slater fought long and hard to get a WWE contract after being forgotten in the brand extension draft, and the culmination of that journey was his quest with Rhyno to acquire the Tag Team Championships.

However, the Usos had established themselves as the dominant bad guys in the SmackDown tag division, and it seemed like a foregone conclusion that the new attitude would bring the pair tag team gold.

That’s how it seemed to me, anyway, but it seems I was way off the mark. Slater and Rhyno took down the Usos. Rhyno ended the match with his trademark Gore for a pinfall victory.

Slater will be able to keep feeding all 42 of his kids for the time being, but what’s next for the Tag Team Champions? We’ll find out Tuesday night.

Usos are challenging. Jimmy pops Slater in the face to start so the fans remind Jimmy that SLATER HAS KIDS. Jey comes in and lets us know that he has kids too. An early chinlock doesn’t last long and it’s off to Rhyno for a running shoulder to the ribs. The running Umaga attack puts Rhyno down for two as the fans aren’t exactly thrilled with this so far. Rhyno fights out of a chinlock but gets dragged into the Uso corner to keep him in trouble. The twins keep taking turns on Rhyno until Jimmy runs into an elbow in the corner.

That’s enough for a hot tag as Slater comes in to clean house but the fans still aren’t getting into it. Everything breaks down and the fans get behind the champs as Jimmy punches Slater in the face. Heath is right back up though and powerslams Jimmy off the top for two. It’s time to go after Heath’s leg but Rhyno breaks up the Tequila Sunrise. Rhyno Gores Jey to retain at 10:17.

Result: Heath Slater/Rhyno b. Usos – Gore to Jey (10:17)
