New #1 Contenders Announced for Smackdown Tag Team Titles

How to replace an injured Broski. After Zack Ryder went down with a ruptured patella tendon and canceled the Hype Bros’ shot at the Smackdown Tag Team Titles, some new #1 contenders were needed. Instead of just one team though, there will be three teams getting a shot at the Wyatt Family.

As announced on “Smackdown Live”, the Wyatts will defend their titles in a four way elimination match next week with American Alpha, the Usos and Heath Slater/Rhyno challenging for the belts. The Wyatt Family defeated Slater/Rhyno for the titles back at “Tables Ladders and Chairs 2016”, making them the second team to hold the titles, which were introduced earlier this year.

Well that’s certainly a way to stack next week’s show. I don’t think the titles change hands but given how things run on Tuesday nights, you never know what they might actually do. Adding all the teams to the match is a good idea but they need to be careful about having the Wyatts run through the entire division in one match ala the Hardys at “Total Nonstop Deletion”.
