Tag Titles Tournament Finals

The Usos vs. Heath Slater & Rhyno

Will Heath Slater finally secure a contract?

WWE creative has butchered this tag tournament all to hell. There's entirely too much talent to have the final three teams being who they are. Nonetheless, as I mentioned, The Usos have a golden opportunity to make something special happen out of this heel turn. It's up to them to make the most out of this situation.

Everyone loves a good underdog story. The way they've booked Slater up to this point to be the guy who continues to sneak his way back onto the scene, it's been a lot of fun to watch, even with the silly trailer trash segments.

Moving forward, The Usos appear to be the clear-cut favorites to win this match. But, having the underdogs come away with the big win, it would propel Slater and Rhyno into the world they've never seen and it would make for a very compelling story.
