Heading into this week’s Smackdown, another championship match was confirmed for WWE Summerslam 2022. The Usos will defend their Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships against The Street Profits (Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins) in a rematch from Money in the Bank 2022.
The seeds of this upcoming match at Summerslam 2022 were already planted in the bygone match at MITB. This match was a show-stealer at MITB where The Usos defeated The Profits to retain the tag titles. However, during the replay, it was spotted that Ford’s shoulder was up during the pinfall count of the referee. This is why the rematch was announced in the first place.
