This feels like deja vu all over again. As seen on this week’s “Smackdown Live”, American Alpha defeated five other teams to become the #1 contenders for the Smackdown Tag Team Titles. However, as soon as the match was over, the Wyatt Family appeared on screen to say that the match wasn’t over yet. Therefore, next week on “Smackdown Live”, it will be Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt vs. American Alpha for the official #1 contendership.
While it may not seem to make sense that the match didn’t just take place on this week’s “Smackdown Live”, the answer seems to be something off screen. Orton’s wife is due to give birth very soon and there’s a good chance that Orton is off TV for the week so he can be present for the birth.
The Wyatts potentially getting a title shot is an interesting concept as Wyatt just doesn’t get to challenge for championships too often. Orton and Wyatt as a team is a good idea and they almost have to get something after their victory on Sunday. That being said, if you put them into the title match, they almost have to win to give the Family some credibility for a change.
Do you think the Wyatts will advance to the pay per view? If so do they get the belts? Let us know in the comments below.
