The chance to have a new champion crowned means that something might be changing soon and that can make things all the more interesting. It means a lot when someone gets such a shot and now several wrestlers have the chance to earn one.

This week on SmackDown, WWE executive Adam Pearce announced the launch of a new tournament to crown #1 contenders for the SmackDown Tag Team Titles. The only detail announced for the tournament is that Drew McIntyre and Sheamus will face the Viking Raiders in the first round next week.

Opinion: Sure why not. This makes as much sense as anything else is going to right now as the Usos need challengers. At the same time, this is the second show in a row after Monday Night Raw with a mention of Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Tag Team Titles, as opposed to the unified versions. That could mean an upcoming shakeup and I’m curious to see how the whole situation is going to go.
