In what wasn’t a classic match by any means, the emotion and storytelling present in this bout carried it to the success it achieved. Slater’s quest for a Smackdown Live contract culminated in this match, and with his new tag partner Rhyno, the duo captured the titles to become the inaugrual champions.

The crowd firmly behind the odd pairing, the pop they received when Slater covered one of the Usos after a Gore from Rhyno was one of the biggest of the night. An emotional moment for the two, who were both non-existent a few months ago on WWE TV.

A wonderful moment capped off by a hillarious Slater promo after the match, the culmination of the underdog story for the duo was a great way to satisfy the fans, rather than having the Usos win their third Tag Team Championships.
