It appears that Shinsuke Nakamura and Rick Boogs will get a title match opportunity at Wrestlemania 38. They will compete in the SmackDown Tag Team Championship match, challenging The Usos in a traditional tag team bout at the Show of Shows.
This week’s WWE SmackDown on FOX witnessed The Usos come out to the show and cut promos on how there’re no relevant challengers available in the locker room to challenge them on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Nakamura and Boogs interrupted which led The Usos to spell out that if Boogs could defeat Jey Uso in a one-on-one bout then, then Nakamura and Boogs would secure a title match at WrestleMania 38. After some ringside shenanigans, Boogs went on to pin Jey by hitting a Boogs Cruise Powerslam to confirm that title shot. But it was Jey who stood tall after the match by smashing Boogs in the back with his guitar to end the segment.
