Paige is the current favourite general manager of the WWE Universe. She is coming up with interesting ideas to make things relevant for Smackdown Live.
It is what the brand needs considering that Summerslam is less than four weeks away. WWE Raw will come up with a jam-packed episode tonight to stir things up for the biggest event of the summer.
Smackdown needs to match up with that. The latest confirmation from Paige confirmed a tag team tournament would begin on this week’s Smackdown Live.

It will determine the new challengers for the Bludgeon Brothers who defeated Team Hell No to retain their titles at Extreme Rules. They will defend their titles at Summerslam, next. Check out the updates from WWE.com regarding this,
“SmackDown LIVE General Manager Paige took to Twitter on Saturday evening to announce that over the next three weeks, four of the blue brand’s best tag teams will battle it out in a tournament to see who will earn the opportunity to challenge The Bludgeon Brothers for the SmackDown Tag Team Titles at SummerSlam.”
Initially, the GM did not disclose the teams that will participate in this tag team tournament. But the speculations were running wild on the on the internet regarding this interesting concept. There’s a number of solid tag teams present on the blue brand. So, Paige took to her Twitter-handle again to reveal the names of those teams.
Former NXT Tag Team Champions SAnitY, former SmackDown Live Tag Champs, The Usos, The New Day and the former Raw Tag Team Champions Sheamus and Cesaro will compete in this series.
There’s no update available on how this tournament will revolve. It can produce a number of knockout matches or else we can see gauntlet kind of matches on a weekly basis format on Smackdown live.

We need to mention The Bar will make their TV return after a big hiatus. They have been absent from the scene ever since Backlash passed by. Lack of storylines was the main reason behind this.
Now it looks like that they are the favourites to win this tournament since SAnitY and New Day are booked in a feud, and The Usos have already ruined their chances against the Bludgeons.
