During WWE Backlash 2016 we had two matches in the WWE Smackdown Tag Team tournament. While Heath Slater and Rhyno defeated the Hype Bros in the tournament and moved to the finals their opponent is not clear. Despite American Alpha defeating the Usos for advance to Backlash 2016 Smackdown Tag Team tournament finals, Chad Gable was apparently injured at the hands of a new heel Usos team post match. As Jason Jordan cannot compete solo for the tag team straps, a seconds chance matche between the Usos and the Hype Bros with the winner to face Heath Slater and Rhyno to become the first ever WWE Smackdown Tag Team Champions.
