WWE News: Update From Smackdown Tag Team Tournament, New Match Announced

Smackdown general manager continued to come up with fresh ideas for her show. She was the one to arrange a tag team tournament a few weeks ago. We received a new contender that turned out to be the new tag team title-holders following Summerslam. The New Day is the concerned team who defeated the Bludgeon Brothers to win tag team golds.

This meant that the Bludgeons should have a rematch under their belt. But there’s a big reason why WWE officials took the championships away from them. Rowan from the dominant group injured his biceps back at Summerslam. He needed to get a surgery on his hands sidelining him for more than six months.

This meant that The New Day needed contenders for the Smackdown tag team titles. Paige confirmed this tournament on the show to determine the same. This time the tournament got bigger with six teams being involved in it. There would be two triple threat matches with the winners taking on against each other, two weeks later.

The first matchup took place on last night’s Smackdown Live. The Bar (Sheamus-Cesaro) vs. Gallows-Anderson vs. The Colons (Primo-Epico) was the lineup for this tag team contest. The New Day was sitting at the commentary table to get a first-hand experience of the triple threat contest. They already entertained the crowd delivering a segment with Booker T.

Sheamus started the matchup on Smackdown with Karl Anderson to put him down. He quickly got Cesaro into the match but Big Gallows arrived on the scene to deliver a Suplex. The Colons received the tag to enter the match. Primo and Epico dominated the matchup for the next several minutes by beating up Karl Anderson.

Later Sheamus entered the tag team match taking on Anderson. He delivered a back-breaker on the knees but Anderson reversed it into a neck-breaker. Primo from Colons received the tag and attacked Anderson, right away. Later he delivered a knee back-breaker on Gallows. But Cesaro sent Primo out of the ring and hooked Gallows’ legs to get the pinfall win.

The Bar became the first team to enter the final of the tag team tournament. They will now wait to receive their opponent. The second match of this tournament will take place next week. Paige announced the lineup for this matchup. Rusev and Aiden English will have to perform as a tag team on Smackdown against SAnitY and The Usos.
