After that, it was pretty easy for the challenger to deliver the white noise-clothesline combination to become four-time tag team champions.

From Smackdown Live, the veteran Usos received a big challenge in the form of the team of Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable. As of late, the contenders were on a pretty good roll since after tuning into heels. They have pinned the champions both in tag and singles competitions gaining the upper-hand at Royal Rumble.

To make things more interesting, the GM of Smackdown made this contest a 2-out-of-3 fall contest between these two teams. Gable tried to dodge the offensive moves from the Usos for the early part of the match. But, Benjamin provided with some momentums in their favour.

However, it was Gable to digest a double superkick from the champs for the first pinfall. Benjamin fired up with a powerbomb attempt, as Gable went for the top rope. Meanwhile, Jey rolled up Benjamin to get the second pinfall and win the championship match, easily.
