#7 SmackDown Live Tag Team Title match - The Planet's Champions (c) vs. Heavy Machinery

The Planet's Champions first ran into Heavy Machinery after winning the vacant SmackDown Tag Titles. Otis looked longingly at the titles, but nothing came from it until Daniel Bryan's promo a week or so later.

In the promo, he called the tag division a joke, stating so because the Bar, New Day and Usos were no longer currently active tag teams on the Blue Brand. While Big E has returned to action and thus to tag team action, they will likely be in the running soon.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

After lambasting the division, the only team that came out looking for a shot was the purveyors of 'Steaks and Weights'. The division is in shambles so it makes sense for the new tag team to get a shot to at least keep the champs busy for a PPV or two.

Two weeks ago, Heavy Machinery interrupted the Planet's Champions before they were to face the YOLO County Tag Champs.

Instead of having a champ-vs.-champ match, Bryan insisted that Heavy Machinery face the YOLO boys instead. Even though Otis and Tucker won, it doesn't necessarily mean that beating two jobbers makes them worthy of a title shot.

The build has been decent but not top-notch. It's not the division's fault for having been left without a bunch of viable contenders but instead the fault lies with WWE for leaving it so barren after the Shake Up.
