Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin are the new number one contenders to the Smackdown Tag Team Championship, and they’ll get their title shot next week on Smackdown.
Gable and Benjamin beat Rusev and Aiden English and The New Day in a triple threat match on tonight’s show. The three teams came out during Daniel Bryan’s opening promo and all made a case for who should really get a shot at The Usos. Bryan ended up making the match on the spot, and the Usos’ title defense was confirmed for next week a few moments after Gable and Benjamin picked up the win tonight.
