#2 Smackdown Tag Team Division Reignited?

Big E & Xavier Woods stayed in the ring following Kofi's promo as they prepared to face Daniel Bryan and Rowan in a non-title match.

The majority of this match took place during a commercial break and ended not long after returning when Woods & Big E hit the 'Midnight Hour' on Bryan to pick up the win and pin the Smackdown tag team Champions for the second night in a row.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

The real story came after the match though when Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn ran in through the crowd to attack the New Day. Heavy Machinery then came down to make the save and set up an impromptu 8-man tag team match.

Tucker was worked over by the heels for a large portion of this contest until he managed to make the hot tag to Otis.

Towards the end of the match, Kevin Owens would leave Sami, as well as Bryan & Rowan, to finish the match themselves and Heavy Machinery would take advantage by hitting their finisher on Zayn to pick up the victory.

This was a fun match and WWE deserve credit for how they have built up Heavy Machinery over the last couple of nights. Otis & Tucker along with the other tag teams in this match have added some much-needed life into Smackdown's tag team division and it will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

Grade: B+
