WWE.com has published the following hyping tonight’s SmackDown Tag Title match:
SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos will defend their titles against Chad Gable & Shelton Benjamin tonight on SmackDown LIVE.
Gable & Benjamin earned the opportunity by defeating The New Day and Rusev & Aiden English in a thrilling Triple Threat Match on the Dec. 26 edition of SmackDown LIVE. There’s no love lost between these two teams. Gable & Benjamin felt they have been owed a rematch for the titles since their last opportunity in November. On that night, the mat wrestling mavens were victorious by count-out, thus they did not leave with the titles. Benjamin & Gable also scored a pinfall victory over the champions in non-title action on Team Blue on Dec. 19.
Who will leave the first SmackDown LIVE of 2018 with Team Blue’s tag team titles? Find out tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network!
Also it has been announced for WWE 205 Live tonight immediately following SmackDown we will see Hideo Itami vs Jack Gallagher in a rematch from last week.
