SmackDown Tag Team title match set for WWE WrestleMania 38 night one
The SmackDown Tag Team titles will be on the line on night one of WrestleMania 38.
WWE has announced that The Usos vs. Shinsuke Nakamura & Rick Boogs for the SmackDown Tag Team titles will be part of the card for night one of WrestleMania 38. The match was made official after Boogs defeated Jey Uso in a singles match on last night’s SmackDown.
After being attacked by The Usos last week, Nakamura & Boogs interrupted The Usos on Friday’s SmackDown. The Usos noticed that Boogs’ leg was still wrapped up from the previous week’s attack, and they said they’d agree to give Nakamura & Boogs a title shot at WrestleMania if Boogs could defeat Jey in a singles match.
Jey went after Boogs’ leg when the match started, but Boogs took off the wrap and revealed that his leg wasn’t injured. Boogs was able to overcome interference by Jimmy Uso and hit a pumphandle slam on Jey to get the win.
As Boogs was celebrating his victory, Jimmy hit him in the back with a guitar.
The Usos have been SmackDown Tag Team Champions since winning the titles at Money in the Bank last July.
