Smackdown tag team champions did not have a proper challenge over the title ever since winning the titles. Daniel Bryan and Rowan claimed to be the Planet’s Tag Team Champions ever since the beginning of the title reign. However, WWE creative team failed to provide a proper championship feud until the Heavy Machinery stepped up to the picture.
They demanded a title opportunity from the champions on last week’s Smackdown. Daniel Bryan handed them a match against two jobbers and instructed them to win it in order to get one. The Heavy Machinery won the match after which WWE hinted that the title match is finally happening,
“SmackDown Tag Team Champions Daniel Bryan & Rowan have had Heavy Machinery on their radar ever since Otis & Tucker issued a challenge for the titles. However, Bryan & Rowan have yet to grant the blue-collar pair a title opportunity, instead opting to mock the duo, saying that they won’t be receiving a title match because Otis is “extraterrestrial.”
Heavy Machinery sent a message to the champions last week by demolishing the Yolo County Tag Team Champions, but will they get a chance at the blue brand’s tag team titles sometime soon?”
