Newly minted WWE Tag Team Champions Kofi Kingston & R-Truth will defend their titles for the first time at WWE Over the Limit, where they will do battle with the arrogant and aggressive duo of Jack Swagger & Dolph Ziggler at the PNC Arena in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Swagger & Ziggler have proven themselves as dominant singles competitors in the past, but the duo’s business advisor Vickie Guerrero is now determined to lead the former World Heavyweight Champions to the top of WWE’s growing tag team division. Since A.W. has yet to invoke the automatic rematch clause of his “All World” clients, former WWE Tag Team Champions Primo & Epico, Swagger & Ziggler have emerged as the No. 1 contenders to Kingston & Truth’s illustrious titles – and they don’t intend on leaving WWE Over the Limit without them.
“The All-American American” & “The Show-Off” will have their hands full, however, even if they would never admit it. Garnering attention for their high-energy offense and uncanny ability to connect with the WWE Universe, Kingston & Truth rode a wave of momentum when they challenged Primo & Epico in a WWE Tag Team Championship clash on the April 30 edition of Raw SuperShow. Despite a distraction on the ring apron from Rosa Mendes, Kingston nailed Epico with Trouble in Paradise for the three-count to win the championships. The exciting tandem would go on to notch an impressive victory over Hunico & Camacho later that week on SmackDown, no doubt fueling Ziggler & Swagger’s desire to snatch the titles from their grasp.
