Apart from Kevin Owens and Jey Uso, other participants for WWE SmackDown's Elimination Chamber match were decided through two separate tag team matches.

In the first case, King Corbin and Sami Zayn teamed up against Rey and Dominik Mysterio. Corbin and Zayn qualified for the Elimination Chamber as Dominik proved to be the weak link in the babyface team.

In the main event of this week's WWE SmackDown, Cesaro and Daniel Bryan faced Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode for the two remaining spots in the Chamber match. After being attacked by Seth Rollins earlier in the night, Cesaro's ability to perform in the main event was questioned.

However, Cesaro was able to co-exist with his recent rival, Bryan, and pick up the victory for his team as well. One has to wonder if putting Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode in the losing spot was a good idea.

Ziggler and Roode are currently the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions, and their credibility was affected after losing to a makeshift babyface duo this week. But at the same time, Cesaro and Bryan were the more compelling picks for the Elimination Chamber match.

After the match was over, Jey Uso, King Corbin, and Sami Zayn attacked the babyfaces. Kevin Owens came to Bryan and Cesaro's rescue and executed Stunners on whoever crossed paths with him.

As The Prizefighter stood dominant, Reigns watched the whole scenario unfold from the backstage area, and it became clear that the current WWE Universal Champion wasn't too happy about Owens' resurgence on the Blue brand.

Since there are exactly three babyfaces and three heel stars in SmackDown's Elimination Chamber match, it won't be surprising if WWE pits them against each other in a six-man tag team contest next week.
