The Uso’s vs. Shelton Benjamin & Chad Gable for the WWE Smackdown Tag Team championship is officially set in a 2 out of 3 Falls Match!
To Recap, last week after exciting back and forth action between these two teams, Gable was able to score the shocking pin on Jimmy Uso to seemingly win the WWE Smackdown Tag Team titles. However, another referee came in and pointed out that Jimmy Uso and Chad Gable were NOT the legal men in the match. Once the replay showed, the referee restarted the match and the USOs were able to successfully retain their tag team titles.
This week on Smackdown, Gable and Benjamin complained about being screwed out of winning the titles. GM Daniel Bryan eventually came down and said that the referee’s decision is final in which Benjamin pointed out that the referee already counted three when they defeated the USOs for the titles.
After a little more back and forth, Bryan officially made the rematch at the Royal Rumble with the added stipulation of it being a 2 out of 3 Falls match. This is an exciting addition to the Royal Rumble card and has a chance to be the show stealing match of the night!
Will Benjamin and Gable be able to defeat the USOs officially and gain the Smackdown Tag Team Championships at the Royal Rumble? We’ll find out January 28th!
