New Tag Team Championship Contenders

With the Wyatt Family seemingly out of the tag team title picture, new number one contenders will need to be decided very soon. This week seems like the perfect time in which to do so. American Alpha are the new champions, but who will be their first new challengers for their titles? The Usos seem like the most likely choice and legitimate threat to Alpha’s titles. These two teams have had their fair share of discrepancies in the past. It was American Alpha that defeated the Usos in the tournament to decide the SmackDown Tag Team Champions back in September.

After a quick and embarrassing loss, the Usos took out Chad Gable’s leg, rendering American Alpha unable to compete for the titles at Backlash. It is time to renew this rivalry once more. These are the two best tag teams on the SmackDown roster at the current time. These teams will also put on the best tag team match on SmackDown since the brand split. New contenders should be decided this week or next at the latest. The division has taken a recent halt over the past couple of weeks.
