Historic episode of SmackDown Live in the making?

#4 New Day vs Randy Orton and The Revival

This six-man Tag Team match was made official via the official WWE website. This isn’t the first time we will see these six men taking on each other inside the squared circle. Both teams share a lot of history which will play a major role in their upcoming encounter.

On Sunday, Kofi Kingston defeated Randy Orton to retain his WWE Championship at Clash of Champions. But in the week leading up to the pay-per-view, we saw The Viper receiving assistance from The Revival in taking down the current champion.

Speaking of The Revival, Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder defeated Big E and Xavier Woods to become the SmackDown Tag Team champions. Therefore, The New Day have plenty of reasons to make their opponents taste the brutal side of one of the best stables in WWE history.

Having said that, I can’t deny that seeing this match-up week after week has made the booking a little stale. Therefore, this week we must see something new in this brewing rivalry.

Maybe we will see new exciting spots in the match that will force the WWE Universe to stand on their feet and applaud some of the best Superstars on the roster today. Kofi Kingston and Randy Orton can specifically take advantage of this match to make up for their average match at Clash of Champions.
